This surge in short selling has added downward pressure on Ethereum's price. For instance, on March 12, 2025, a whale who shorted 5,000 ETH at a price of $1,917 incurred a loss of $489,000 when the price increased by 5% to $2,015.

It's important to note that while short positions can indicate bearish market sentiment, they also carry significant risks, including the potential for short squeezes, which can lead to rapid price increases.
