Have you noticed this strange phenomenon—early yesterday morning, ETH dropped by 100 points, and many people started nervously trying to cut losses. But at the same time, the US stock market and gold were rising, while our crypto market was moving downward. This contrast really hits differently.
I've been trading this market for several years and have experienced many ups and downs. Today, I want to clarify the logic behind this wave of market movements. First, the conclusion—signs of market weakness are already quite obvious, but chasing shorts is definitely not something to do impulsively.
The recent rise in BTC and ETH is actually a false alarm. Previously, many people were shouting "breakthrough and push to 3500," but they were proven wrong, and now we're back in a consolidation zone. The reason behind this is quite clear: traditional safe-haven assets (US stocks, gold) are all rising, indicating that investors' appetite for risk assets is shrinking. The crypto market is the opposite; this isn't just a simple technical correction but a direct reflection of investor confidence being low.
That said, I must honestly tell you—don't rush to short now. ETH is currently holding between 2930 and 2940 and has rebounded slightly a few times. I’ve always been a cautious trader; even if the overall outlook is bearish, as long as key support levels haven't been effectively broken, I won't rush into the market. I've seen too many people get trapped in a short squeeze because of chasing shorts—those lessons are painfully clear. The market's patterns are really unpredictable, and sometimes waiting patiently for the right opportunity yields much better results than impulsive trades.
Regarding ETH trading strategy, shorting during rebounds is the most stable approach. From a long-term perspective…
