#数字资产动态追踪 $ETH has indeed played some interesting moves around the 2900 level. Looking back, the 4900 before 5000, the 3900 before 4000—these are all key levels historically broken through—each major threshold tends to be followed by a waterfall shakeout. Now 2900 has also become such a magical point, fitting the pattern.

The problem is, the market makers' current operation is actually a bit disgusting—clearly showing a downward signal on the chart, yet they just hover sideways, stubbornly grinding without any movement. Without new retail investors stepping in, the bulls can't push, and the bears can't push down either, resulting in a stalemate. $BTC $SOL's performance is quite similar.

This kind of situation actually has only one strategy—holding cash. Waiting is more important than anything else.

It's been consolidating for so long, you can tell the big players are accumulating strength. Just waiting for the moment of breakdown.

Going completely out of position is the way to go; all the back-and-forth is just the manipulator's tactic. Waiting is the biggest gain.

Oh no, it's the same old washout script again. I'm already tired of it. Just go all in cash, anyway my annualized returns are locked in Lido, no rush. --- This 2900 level really feels like the 4900 back in the day. The market makers' tricks are really common now, I've been just sitting on the sidelines naked and watching. --- Range-bound trading is the most annoying; it's better to just smash through, at least then you can see where the liquidation price is. These torturous days, I choose to look for arbitrage opportunities on the chain. There's really no need to chat with it here. --- Wait, don't move yet. This is the survival rule in a bear market. What's the rush? My re-investment strategy is more important right now. --- Honestly, without new retail investors to take over, it's a dead end. We'll just sit quietly in cash and watch the show. Don't fall for the market maker's tricks.

The 2900 level is indeed a devilish zone; the big players love to mess around there. Being out of the market is the most comfortable, anyway, it’s also hard to watch. Waiting is more difficult than trading, I admit.

Holding a position and waiting for this move is really clever; anyway, entering now just means getting cut. The 2900 level is indeed significant; historical patterns are right there, and the big players have precisely targeted our psychology, grinding sideways until you can't take it anymore.

2900 is basically the dealer's sharpening stone; we need to be patient. It's not the first time I've seen this routine. They just like to consolidate sideways and torment people. It's so annoying. Being out of the market is the most comfortable; there's no room for action anyway. Just wait.
