According to Kobeissi Letter, a global macroeconomic commentary magazine, the short positions on Ethereum have increased by 40% in a week, and have surged by 500% since November 2024. The short positions on Ethereum on Wall Street are unprecedented, even exceeding any previous time. The impact of such extreme short positions has already been seen - on February 2, Ethereum plummeted 37% within 60 hours, coinciding with news related to the trade war. This plunge was almost similar to the "flash crash" in the stock market in 2010, but there was no clear news catalyst at the time. The entire cryptocurrency market evaporated over $1 trillion in just a few hours. Although the short positions increased rapidly in December 2024, Ethereum still attracted a large inflow of funds. Within just 3 weeks, the inflow of funds into ETH exceeded $2 billion, with a record weekly inflow of $854 million. However, hedge funds are still heavily , trying to suppress the rise of ETH and limit the breakout.
