The recent fund flows in the crypto market have been quite interesting, especially in the Ethereum sector. On one side, there is a continuous influx of deposit transactions, while on the other side, there is the risk of short positions being liquidated overhead. Whether the $3,100 level can be突破, could directly influence the market rhythm over the next half month.



Let's look at the most core data. In the past 24 hours, Ethereum experienced two明显的资金流入 on centralized exchanges—first 47,100 ETH, followed by another 117,300 ETH. This连续充币规模 has already far exceeded retail investors' capacity. Many people associate deposit inflows with potential selling pressure, but there's an easily overlooked detail: deposit inflows do not necessarily signal selling. The capital entering the market could be from大户集中筹码 preparing to go long, or it could be funds previously withdrawn that are re-entering after market sentiment improves. Considering the current market environment, the latter is more likely—恐慌指数 has risen from the "极度恐慌" zone to 28, and market sentiment is gradually recovering. At this point, capital entering the market usually indicates optimism about a subsequent rebound.

More值得关注的是多空力量对比. Data shows that if Ethereum突破s $3,100, the total short position清算规模 on major centralized exchanges could reach 629 million. What does this mean? A large number of short positions will be forced to close, and these liquidations will push prices higher, forming a short squeeze行情. But this is a双刃剑—if this突破 ultimately fails, the deposit inflows might reverse and sell off, and the consequences could be equally serious.

The key still depends on whether Ethereum can effectively站上 $3,100 this fortress.

2.629 billion in liquidation volume? If this wave breaks through successfully, it'll directly push the market to a short squeeze paradise. If it fails, I guess they'll have to eat noodles. The 3100 level is really a life-and-death line.

6.29 billion in liquidation waiting, whether 3100 breaks or not depends on these two days, feels like something's going to happen.

Whether this 3100 level breaks or not really depends on the market makers' mood. Hearing about 629 million in short positions being liquidated sounds satisfying, but the risk is also quite high.

Deposit data needs to be looked at in conjunction with medical records. The scale of 164,400 coins is indeed not something retail investors are playing with, but the question is—are the clinical manifestations actually due to concentrated chips or are they a prelude to a dump? These two symptoms look the same on the surface. If the 3100 level is truly broken through, the liquidation of 629 million in short positions could trigger a strong short squeeze rebound. Regularly reviewing liquidity depth is necessary. I agree with the statement that this is a double-edged sword, but more importantly—if the funds do not effectively hold this price level after entering, then deposit inflows could instead become a perfect excuse for the channel side to dump. At the protocol level, there are no issues; the problem lies in mental state recovery. The panic index rising to 28 is just a numerical improvement. But when it reaches a critical point, can it withstand the test? It still depends on the trading behavior data over the next week.

Whether 3100 breaks or not is all a show; I bet the 600 million short position from the deposit is going to get crushed.

Deposit inflow triggers 629 million short position liquidation. This is the calm before the storm of a classic sandwich attack... Let's wait and see how the robot playground performs.
