A trader has closed his $LINEA short despite being in profit, saying it “feels like a crime about to happen” — similar to past surprise rallies like $ZORA on Base.

He expects potential headlines around Sharplink building on Linea, which could trigger a sudden short squeeze. While the token might bleed for weeks, he warns of a possible FU candle once the ETH <> Sharplink narrative gains traction.

Sharplink has already confirmed plans to stake on Linea, and with Linea’s ETH burn + buyback mechanism, the setup looks strong. The trader draws parallels with:

• BNB → Binance
• MNT → Bybit
• Zora → Base
• Linea → Sharplink

He suggests shorts could be caught off guard if the narrative reignites.
