Why Ethereum is up 1.6% today
Analysis
Ethereum (ETH) rose about 1.6% over the past 24 hours, likely reflecting a modest rebound after broader market volatility tied to reports of heavy short positioning. CryptoPotato noted that BTC, ETH, and XRP had been tumbling as market maker Wintermute built sizable short positions (confidence: 57%), and ETH’s move higher appears consistent with a partial recovery following that pressure.
