Short squeezes are a powerful market dynamic where a rapid price increase forces short sellers to buy back, further fueling the rally.
  • Ethereum price rallied beyond $4.1k, thus revisiting the highest level since December 2021.
  • On-chain data shows significant liquidation of ETH short traders amid heightened whale activity.
  • The ETH price bullish breakout is bolstered by robust fundamentals amid the anticipated 2025 altseason.

Ethereum just had a massive breakout. The price surged over 7% in the past 24 hours to hit a 44-month high of nearly $4,200 on Saturday.

This powerful move pushed ETH’s market cap back above $500 billion and finally broke the key $4,100 resistance that has capped bullish sentiment since December 2021.

A Brutal $183 Million Short Squeeze

This sudden, violent move upward triggered a massive short squeeze, wiping out bearish traders. In the last 24 hours, over $205 million in leveraged ETH positions were liquidated, with a staggering $183 million of that belonging to short sellers betting on a price drop. This is a clear sign the market was caught completely off guard.
