Ethereum Shorts Rekt as ETH Tops $4,500 for First Time Since 2021

Ethereum just handed short sellers a brutal reality check—blasting past $4,500 like it was 2021 gas fees. The crypto’s relentless rally leaves bears nursing losses and Wall Street ‘experts’ scrambling to explain why they called it a ‘dead chain’ six months ago.

### The Reckoning: ETH Flexes Market Dominance

No mercy for the under-leveraged. Ethereum’s surge isn’t just a price move—it’s a liquidation event masquerading as a bull run. DeFi degens cheer while CEX risk managers quietly update their resumes.

### The Irony: Institutions FOMO After Dismissing ‘Nerdy Money’

Hedge funds that mocked ETH’s ‘lack of yield’ in 2023 now pile in, desperate to justify their 2-and-20 fees. Meanwhile, crypto OGs smirk—they’ve seen this script before.

### The Punchline: Same Crypto, New Suits

Ethereum’s price revival proves one thing: markets have the memory of a goldfish with ADHD. Whether this holds or not? Ask the ‘smart money’ currently buying the top (again).
