Yesterday afternoon's BTC analysis was quite successful. The short position at 89400 was precisely timed, securing a profit of $2800 from the recent low of 86600. It is now 10:40 AM Beijing time. Let's turn our attention to ETH and examine the current technical trend of this mainstream coin.
From the four-hour chart, the Bollinger Bands have contracted into a parallel state, with the price oscillating within a very narrow range. The recent high and low just touched the upper and lower bands respectively. Currently, the short-term moving averages have already formed a death cross and are trending downward. The key point is that multiple attempts to hold above the 5-day moving average have failed to break through, indicating selling pressure remains. If the subsequent rebound cannot effectively stabilize above the short-term moving averages, it suggests the market will weaken again. The immediate resistance above is around 2960; whether it can be broken effectively remains to be seen.
Looking at the one-hour chart, the Bollinger Bands are similarly contracted and parallel, with the price staying below the middle band for a long time. In this situation, if the price cannot effectively break above the middle band during an upward move, a pullback is highly probable. Notably, the short-term moving averages are now overlapping and crossing, entering a parallel trend. Overall, the one-hour chart is in a very narrow range of oscillation, with the zone locked between 2915 and 2935.
The daily chart trend requires close attention. The short-term moving averages have formed a clear death cross, with resistance around 3030. More importantly, the daily chart has formed a head and shoulders pattern, which typically indicates further downside potential in technical analysis. The overall trend on the larger cycle remains bearish.
Regarding the MACD indicator, the four-hour chart has already formed a death cross below the zero line and is in a parallel state, indicating increasing bearish momentum. The MACD lines on the one-hour chart are also below zero, but the bearish momentum has weakened. The RSI is currently in a normal trading range, around 31.
In summary, the current market shows characteristics of sideways consolidation. Since the US stock market is closed, the price is stuck within a very narrow range, repeatedly oscillating. Such levels are not ideal for aggressive trading; the best opportunities may come during the Sunday night and Monday US stock market opening hours.
For specific trading strategies, the high-level idea is to open a short position around 2970, then add to the position near 3060, with a stop loss at 3180 if the price breaks above. The low-level idea is to open a long position around 2810, consider adding at 2720, and set a stop loss below 2620.

It's another tug-of-war situation; waiting for the US stock market to open is the real opportunity.

Based on this profile, here are the comments I generated:
Bollinger Bands tightening so aggressively, it feels like waiting for a needle to poke through
---
Honestly, right now it’s better to wait until Monday; just sitting here is too uncomfortable
---
If the head and shoulders top really drops, the short positions must make a lot of money, right?
---
At the 2960 level, I’m not feeling it’s that simple
---
Another narrow-range oscillation, US stocks are closed and it’s just being forcibly locked down

Wow, just $2800 for a single shot? Yesterday's BTC move was indeed incredible; this momentum is a bit addictive.
Wait, why do I feel your ETH analysis is a bit conservative? Is it really that difficult to break through this sideways movement?
The head and shoulders pattern is real, but once the US stock market opens, it will probably be another bloodbath. Let's wait until Monday to see.
Bollinger Bands are narrowing into a death cross, is it that familiar sideways trading pattern again? Let's wait until the market opens on Monday to see.
