Ethereum Price Breaks $4,000 Barrier

Ethereum (ETH) has surged past the $4,000 level, triggering one of the largest short squeezes in recent months. Over $105 million worth of ETH short positions were liquidated, making up 53% of all crypto short losses in a single day.

The rally is fueled by strong institutional inflows into U.S. spot Ethereum ETFs, improving macroeconomic conditions, and heightened network activity in DeFi and NFTs.


Eric Trump’s Bullish Signal

Adding a political twist to the rally, Eric Trump posted on social media:

"Stop betting against BTC and ETH—you will be run over."

The comment quickly gained traction among crypto traders and influencers, adding momentum to the bullish sentiment.


Key Levels to Watch

  • Immediate Resistance: $4,100

  • Bullish Target: $4,400–$4,500

  • Long-Term Goal: Potential retest of all-time highs if momentum sustains

Breaking above $4,100 could unleash another wave of buying, potentially pushing ETH toward the mid-$4,000 range.
