Yesterday's livestream kept emphasizing the short-term opportunities in ETH, and I didn't expect the results to be so obvious. Today the backend is full of screenshots of profits shared by brothers – those who entered at 3243, 3258, and 3262 are now starting to take profits in batches. You can see everyone has accumulated considerable gains.
For traders who are already on board, here's what I want to say: don't rush to liquidate your entire position all at once, and don't get greedy just because of the current gains. Hold your current positions steady, gradually raise your stop-loss levels, and let this wave of action run a bit further – try to capture a complete cycle. For those who haven't caught on yet, there's no need to blame yourselves; today's opportunity is actually clearer now. Keep watching the downside and you'll understand how to position yourself.
As a trader who's been grinding away in this market for eight years, I'll be blunt: ETH is currently in a critical period of overbought correction, the bullish momentum has shown clear signs of weakening, and short-term shorting remains the most stable choice. Blindly chasing rallies will only make you "cannon fodder" for the market. That's not pleasant to hear, but the market will never care about your feelings. The core principle of actually making money is to follow the trend, not go against the market.
Let me break down today's core operational logic now – all practical trading insights that I recommend saving and studying repeatedly:
**First, what's the basic logic for positioning?** Lean on the 3240 key zone to short. I mentioned this level repeatedly in yesterday's livestream – it's where pressure is most concentrated in the short term. From a technical perspective, it also sits right on the trend resistance line of recent rebounds. As long as price doesn't effectively hold above this level, the overall bearish pattern won't change.
**Second, how do you set your stop-loss?** This is the lifeline of trading – don't skip this step. My suggestion is to set stop-losses in batches; don't put all your eggs in one basket. At the same time, closely monitor the 3280 resistance above – be alert to reversal signals once it's touched.
Overall, what this stage tests is execution power and discipline. The market always gives opportunities to prepared traders; the key is whether you can seize them.

The same old trick of cutting leeks begins again, it happens every time.
That point at 3240 seems reasonable, but we all know the market loves to operate in the opposite direction.
Honestly, looking at those screenshots is like reading a story; their authenticity is questionable.

Oh no, I missed it again, every time it's like this...
That recent surge was really fierce; those who bought in at 3243 are all smiling now, while I was still debating whether to chase...
Honestly, this theory sounds pretty good, but I always feel like something's off...
Really? Is 3240 really that magical? I just can't believe it no matter how I look at it...
Damn, I got caught again. This time I must stick to the rules; if I keep greedily chasing, I'll really go bankrupt...
Is it high altitude? I'll try, but if I get caught again, I'm done for...
I've learned to exit in batches; next time I’ll definitely use this strategy...
I'm a bit tempted, but I have no funds left. I'll observe for now and see...
These 8 years of experience are worth listening to, although I don't have any myself...

I've wanted to clear this position at 3240 for a long time, just waiting for this rebound to send a dead order.
Talking about eight years of experience, are you sure you're not just hyping yourself up?
Those who bottomed out this wave did make money, but I don't believe they can do the same again with this logic later.
Defensive positions sound good in theory, but in actual trading, it still comes down to market feel—there aren't that many tricks.
Has anyone really held through to 3280 based on this approach, or did they already exit early?

Another day of shorts being liquidated. Just looking at this screenshot stack, I know the chasing longs have lost again.
An 8-year veteran says that shorting at high is the safest, but I wonder why I should listen to you, this old rookie of 3 weeks...
I’ve noted the 3240 level, hopefully it’s not the next "key support."
This egg analogy, I’ve been hit by a basket quite a few times.
Just want to ask, what to do if the defense level isn’t held...
If this wave really retraces, the backend will probably be full of screenshots of liquidations again.

Bro, something's not right with the data. From 3243 to 3262, even if fully invested, the profit margin is only around 80 points. How come so many people are posting profits in the backend screenshots? Is the capital efficiency this high?

It's the same old high-altitude rhetoric again. I've seen plenty of tricks in live streams to cut the leeks.
Talking up a storm, but what’s the result? When it drops, they blame retail investors for not having enough discipline.
This "I made money, you didn’t" attitude is a bit off-putting.
I looked at the 3240 level, and honestly, it’s not that miraculous.
Wait, now you want me to cut losses in stages? Are you teaching me risk management or just secretly cutting your own positions?
But I have to admit, those three entry points were quite well chosen.
But honestly, a trader with eight years of experience shouting about overbought corrections every day feels like trouble is just around the corner.

Bro, this move was really fierce. I didn't watch the live stream yesterday, but after seeing the backend screenshots today, I was completely shattered.
Wait, you said short at 3240? Why do I feel like the bulls still have some strength? Isn't your defensive position set a bit too tight?
That's why I keep pressing F5 all day waiting for airdrops. It's way less exhausting than constantly watching the market. Truly.
