【Why is my panic getting worse as ETH rallies harder?】
Yesterday, someone in the group chat sent a screenshot. It showed a 25% 7-day rise in ETH, paired with liquidation data. In the comments, everyone was saying, “The bull market is here,” “Jump on before you miss it.”
I stared at the image for a few seconds and told him: bro, do you realize what you’re looking at is retail traders going all-in—while on the other side, institutions’ short positions are getting liquidated?
Over the past 48 hours, nearly $3.8 billion worth of shorts across the market was wiped out. Just Thursday alone broke the record since 2021.
What do you call that? Forced buying. It’s not that the market is that strong—someone is getting pushed up by the pain of being forcibly liquidated.
I’m not saying ETH’s fundamentals are bad. The news that Gnosis Chain has joined the Ethereum ecosystem economic zone is genuinely bullish, and the ETF side seeing $500 million in a single day is also real money. But the data is right there: the FNG sentiment index is already at 72, entering the greed zone. Open interest keeps expanding, and the short-term funding rates on multiple contract platforms have started to flip negative.
Old hands all know: when the sentiment index is in the greed zone, that’s exactly when a short-term top is most likely. This isn’t to tell you to go bearish—it’s a reminder not to put all your bullets in one place.
Here’s my own take: ETH is still 52% below its all-time high. In the long run, this area has value as support. But in the short term, this move has been too aggressive. The resistance around 2421 is hard to break through. The truly actionable ecosystem progress still needs time to digest—it can’t be realized in just a few days.
From a business-logic standpoint, I believe the stories—whether it’s RWA or the Layer2 ecosystem. But believing the narrative is one thing; position management is another.
Right now, is the ETH you hold meant to be held for three years, or are you planning to take a short-term gamble? Getting that clear matters far more than discussing whether prices will rise or fall.
Do you think this rally is a real breakout, or just sentiment peaking? Come on, let’s talk for a bit. #ETH #加密分析 #ALIGN #Market Insights
