Whales just made an $85M bet against Ethereum... but that doesn't necessarily make them right. 👀
On June 21, several large ETH short positions appeared within minutes of each other, creating one of the most interesting setups on the chart.
🐋 One whale increased its short from 30K to 50K ETH, bringing total exposure to roughly $85M, with an average entry near $1,734.
🐋 Around the same time, another major wallet opened a fresh 23K ETH short at an average entry near $1,724—just $10 apart.
That kind of clustering usually suggests one of two things:
• A single large player spreading risk across multiple wallets.
• Multiple whales independently reaching the same bearish conclusion.
Either way, it's clear that significant capital has positioned for downside.
Adding to the story, a newly created address reportedly deployed $6.68M into 20x leveraged shorts across BTC, ETH, and SOL, reinforcing the bearish positioning.
With ETH trading around $1,720, many of these shorts are currently in profit.
That makes $1,720–$1,734 one of the most important zones on the chart.
📉 If ETH stays below it, the bears remain in control.
🚀 But if buyers reclaim that range, the same short positions could become fuel for a sharp short squeeze as traders rush to cover.
The market is now sitting at a crossroads.
Do you follow the whales… or prepare for the possibility that the whales become the liquidity for the next move higher?
