🔥 Ethereum Shines Amid Crypto Market Dip

Ethereum surged 2.4% to $3,719 in the last 24 hours, defying a 5.3% drop in the overall crypto market. This resilience has caught analysts’ attention, with on-chain data signaling shifts in trader sentiment and positioning.

Short Squeezes and Whale Moves Fuel ETH Rally

CryptoQuant analyst Amr Taha noted Ethereum’s breakout above $3,700 triggered $160 million in short liquidations on Binance, following $195 million at $3,500. These short squeezes—where sellers rush to cover bets—briefly pushed prices higher.

Taha also spotted contrasting whale activity: over $300 million in Bitcoin flowed into exchanges, hinting at potential selling, while $300 million in stablecoins exited, suggesting limited fresh buying. He cautioned that these short squeezes might lead to temporary spikes, followed by consolidation or a pullback if new capital doesn’t flow in.

CryptoQuant’s Crypto Dan added that while a short-term correction is possible, it’s likely to be mild. Compared to overheated futures markets in March and November 2024, current leverage and sentiment remain subdued, supporting Ethereum’s stability.
