Hedge Funds’ Dollar Shorts Pose Risk for Ethereum’s Bullish Outlook

The US Dollar Index (DXY) shows strong inverse correlation with cryptocurrencies. A stronger dollar typically restrains risk assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum, while a weaker dollar supports rallies.

  • Hedge funds currently hold large short positions against the dollar, risking a reversal that could pressure crypto markets.
  • A dollar rebound threatens Ethereum's bullish narrative expected through 2026.
  • DXY has moved above its 200-day moving average, indicating potential to break a multi-month downtrend.
  • If the dollar strengthens, Bitcoin and Ethereum may face downward pressure as they have been sensitive to dollar movements this year.
