These are trades that would be forced to close if the price moves higher, creating the potential for a rapid price spike. Crypto Rover commented , “$ETH SHORT SQUEEZE INCOMING!” referring to the idea that a break above $4,500 could force traders to buy back their positions. This would push the asset up quickly. So far, price action has remained below this zone, but the chart shows clear interest around this level. Possible Short-Term Drop Before Next Move Another analyst, Crypto Caesar, noted that after rising from $1,400 to $4,800, some sideways movement is expected. “As long as we don’t break the $4,500 level with conviction, I think we might revisit this green zone,” he said, pointing to a potential drop if momentum weakens.
