📈 ETH Is Sending a Signal — Short Squeeze Meets ETF Demand
Ethereum broke above $2,600 (touching $2,660, its highest since January), up 8.3% in 24 hours, as $255M in short positions got liquidated — the forced buying added fuel on top of already-strong demand.
What's actually driving this:
📊 BlackRock's ETHA extended a 20-day consecutive inflow streak ($251M+ net inflows) — this isn't just a leverage-driven spike, there's real ETF demand underneath it
📊 RSI has climbed to ~74 (overbought territory) — some near-term cooling wouldn't be surprising even within an intact uptrend
📊 Key level to watch: $2,453 support — a daily close below this would damage the bullish setup; the 200-period EMA sits near $2,534 as the next technical hurdle
For spot traders, the real signal isn't the green candle — it's what happens next:
Watch whether buyers keep defending $2,450-2,500 on any pullback, or whether this was purely short-covering with no durable demand behind it. Remaining short liquidity above current levels is comparatively thin (~$422M), so further squeeze fuel is limited — the next leg likely needs genuine spot buying, not just forced covering.
