Ethereum Shorts Are Stacked—Is a Squeeze Coming?

Ethereum traders are leaning heavily bearish—with short positions hitting record highs. Over 11,000 short contracts are open, mostly from hedge funds. That’s a 500% spike since late 2024. But here’s the twist: when too many bet against ETH, even a small price jump can trigger a short squeeze—forcing sellers to buy back in, pushing prices even higher.

We’ve seen this play out recently. In June, ETH jumped past $2,670, liquidating over $500M in shorts. Now, ETH is hovering around $2,450, holding key support. Meanwhile, whales are buying, 35M ETH is staked, ETF inflows are booming, and network activity is up 62%. That’s bullish fuel waiting for a spark.

Of course, there are risks—whale sell-offs and overleveraged longs could cause a dip if support fails. But if ETH breaks $2,510, the squeeze could lift it to $2,800 or more.
