A large Ethereum (ETH) short position has formed, sparking claims that a sharp surge could result from a short squeeze.
On the 11th (local time), Jack Lee, the founder of LD Capital, stated on X (formerly Twitter), "The reason for the bullish outlook on Ethereum is simple," adding, "Currently, there are $1.3 billion worth of short positions on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME), $1 billion on Aave (AAVE), and at least $3 billion in total across all exchanges."
He said, "A combined $5 billion worth of short positions significantly increases the probability of a short squeeze," and added, "Ethereum could soar to $4,000." He continued, "We have purchased 100,000 Ethereum options according to this scenario."
