ETH experienced a typical high-level weakness trend on the 26th. During the day, it surged to around 2900 and then moved sideways at a high level, but by around 10 PM, the bulls clearly couldn't hold on, and the price quickly dropped, directly breaking through the 2900 integer level. Although there was some rebound afterward, it only returned to around 2930 for repeated oscillation, without any upward breakthrough.



From the Bollinger Bands perspective, the 1-hour chart shows a clear pattern. The upper band is at 2988, the middle band at 2941, and the lower band at 2894, forming a channel that is opening and contracting downward in a parallel shape. The key point is that last night's K-line failed to stay above the middle band and directly broke below the lower band, currently testing between the lower and middle bands. This signal indicates that short-term bears still have some strength.

The MA indicators also confirm this weakness. The 1-hour MA5 is at 2926, MA10 at 2923, and MA30 at 2941. Yesterday, MA5 and MA10 both broke below MA30, which is a clear bearish signal. However, around 6 AM, MA5 crossed above MA10 to form a golden cross, indicating a potential rebound has appeared, but how far it can rebound remains to be seen.

The MACD is below the zero line, and on the night of the 26th, it formed a death cross and started to decline, which is a typical bearish feature. The good news is that the bearish volume is gradually weakening, and the convergence of the fast and slow lines suggests that the downward momentum may be exhausted, and the rebound opportunity is gradually building.

The RSI showed oversold conditions around 1 AM, forming a golden cross upward at that time, but now it has turned into a death cross again. This repeated pattern indicates that the bulls and bears are still in confrontation, with no clear directional breakthrough.

Overall, the current market is in a typical low-level sideways consolidation phase. Looking back at the 26th, the bulls attempted twice to break above 3000 but failed, indicating significant resistance at that level. By the evening, the bulls' stamina was exhausted; although the price broke below 2900, it failed to do so effectively and tested around 2900 five times. This repeated testing is actually accumulating energy for a rebound.

The subsequent logic might be as follows: first, a small rebound occurs, then an attempt to break through 2900 again. If the breakout fails, the price may head straight to 2800. The resistance level is at 2960, and the support level is at the 2900 integer mark.

From a trading perspective, the current environment favors a high-short strategy. The price is oscillating within the 2900 to 2960 range, with the rebound strength seeming insufficient, likely unable to reach the upper boundary at 2960. The strategy could be to establish short positions around 2950, and if the price continues to rise toward 2980, add to the position in stages at ratios of 1:1, 1:2, or 1:3. Stop-loss should be placed above 3000 on a confirmed breakout, and if the price drops to around 2900 and the rebound fades, with a confirmed breakdown, take profit around 2800.

2900 is still the hurdle that hasn't been crossed yet, the bears still have some hope --- Starting to test again, how far can this rebound go --- Oh my, after all this, I'm still stuck here repeating myself, so annoying --- The 3000 resistance is really strong, it looks like it will still go down in the short term --- Short positions are indeed more comfortable, let's just farm in this range --- MA golden cross and death cross again, this bulls and bears battle is a bit tense --- Waiting to see if 2800 can hold, if it breaks, there will be a story --- The Bollinger Bands are closing in, volume is waning... feels like something is brewing --- Shorts around 2900, I need to think this through --- Five attempts to test but didn't go up, really getting tired of this

2900 is really holding up at this level, the bears still have some strength It's that kind of repeated probing situation again, annoying If 3000 can't be broken, then head straight to 2800, I believe in this logic Short at 2950, feels a bit safer The bulls are too exhausted, it's time to rest Five consecutive attempts at 2900, is this accumulating energy or releasing despair? Shorting from high is correct, with this rhythm, no need to fight for a rebound

The 2900 level looks a bit uncertain; the bulls are really running out of strength. Trying 2900 five times again? This repeated bouncing is really annoying. It might be better to just drop straight to 2800. The idea of shorting sounds good, but I'm worried that a rebound might disrupt the trend... We need to see if MA5 can hold steady. With the Bollinger Bands tightening like this, the downward momentum is really almost gone. A rebound is just around the corner. It still feels like there's a lack of decisive volume. Someone give us a clear direction!

lol the math doesn't check out here. if you're sizing 1:1, 1:2, 1:3 from 2950, you're literally eating 150-200bps in slippage on each pyramid layer. just run the numbers on uniswap v3 liquidity depth at those price points...

This analysis feels like taking a dump. Tried five times at 2900 and still dare to say the accumulation of energy... haha --- Actually, the 3000 barrier is just a joke. The bears are really holding on tightly. --- Short at 2950? I'm scared. Maybe wait for a valid break below 2900. --- That morning's golden cross didn't hold at all, then it turned into a death cross. The bulls are really out of luck. --- Sideways at low levels is the most annoying. All indicators are swinging unpredictably. How to operate then? --- Honestly, I thought the MA5 crossing above MA10 was a sign of a rebound, but... never mind. --- The 2800 level is a bit dangerous. Should we protect our stop-losses, everyone? --- I support the idea of going short at high levels, but I'm worried about fake breakouts trapping me. It's too uncomfortable. --- I believe in the judgment that the rebound is weak. Reduced volume is a real signal.
