Will Ethereum See a Pump Next Week?

Hot Take: Brace Yourself for a Possible Short Squeeze
Both Bitcoin and Ethereum show promising signs of a short squeeze and a subsequent price surge in the coming week. It could result in substantial gains for both cryptocurrencies, but traders should exercise caution and monitor funding rates to gauge the likelihood of a liquidation event.
