🚨 $ETH /USDT: THE WHALE TRAP IS SET (Short Squeeze Incoming?)**
**The Setup:**
While retail traders are hesitant, the Smart Money data reveals a massive opportunity forming on the 15m chart. We are seeing a classic "Trapped Whale" scenario.
**📊 The Data (Smart Money Insight):**
* **Whale Skew:** 1,174 Shorts vs. 744 Longs.
* **Capital at Risk:** Whales are holding **$1.82B in Short positions**.
* **The Problem:** Price is rallying *against* them. They are currently sitting on +$276M unrealized profit, but as we push toward $2,000, that profit turns into fuel for a squeeze.
**🧠 Technical Analysis (15m Chart):**
* **Structure:** Bullish recovery from $1,967 lows.
* **Momentum:** Reclaimed Bollinger Midline ($1,987) with strong buying volume.
* **Target:** The liquidity pool sitting just above at **$2,004**.
**⚡ Institutional Trade Plan:**
We are looking to front-run the liquidation cascade of these trapped shorts.
🟢 **Direction:** LONG
💰 **Entry Zone:** $1,990 - $1,995 (Wait for the retest, don't FOMO)
🛑 **Stop Loss:** $1,972.50 (Invalidation below structure)
🎯 **Take Profit 1:** $2,004 (Liquidity Sweep)
**Take Profit 2:** $2,019+ (Expansion)
**⚠️ Risk Management:**
This is a high-probability setup, but volatility is increasing.
* **Risk:** Max 1% of equity.
* **Leverage:** Keep it conservative (5x-10x max). Do not over-leverage into resistance.
**Verdict:** The path of least resistance is UP to clear the short orders. Let the whales panic.
