Ethereum short positions hit an all-time high! Are whales collectively shorting, and is a chance for retail investors to become millionaires arriving?
Whales join forces to crash the market and create a 'liquidity trap'
The insider of the flash crash: Today ETH plummeted to $4236, primarily due to unexpectedly high inflation in the U.S. + the U.S.-Russia geopolitical crisis triggering risk-off selling, with over $1.19 billion of long positions liquidated in a single day!
The fatal weakness of shorts: Leveraged short positions soared to historical peaks (-6000 level), but whales are secretly accumulating amid the panic—on-chain data shows that 1.2 million ETH disappeared from exchanges in 3 days, signaling a liquidity exhaustion alarm!
Institutional bottom cards exposed: BlackRock and Standard Chartered suddenly announced raising their year-end target for ETH to $7,500. Despite an outflow of $152 million from the ETF in a single day, corporate treasury bond positions still show a profit of 13.8%-22%, with long-term positions remaining unchanged!
