On Friday, roughly $105 million worth of Ether (ETH) short positions were liquidated, accounting for about 53% of the total $199.61 million in short liquidations across the crypto market. The liquidations came as ETH crossed the $4,000 mark for the first time since December 2024. Speaking on the current development, popular analyst Michael van de Poppe writes:

“Wild move of $ETH. It has swept the high and it is a little too risky to be buying $ETH at these highs. It’s setting up for a big breakout towards ATHs, but I think it’s wiser to allocate funds within the $ETH ecosystem as it should yield a higher return”.

Crypto market analysts believe that Ethereum rally could set the stage for a broader altcoins season moving ahead. Apart from ETH other, altcoins have also shown strength with XRP, ADA, SOL, DOGE, gaining 5-10% yesterday
