$ETH 1840 Open Air
### **Core Logic and Key Factors**
1. **Short-term Technical Signals**
- **Resistance Level**: $1850-1860 (4-hour high + EMA30 pressure), breaking this would increase the risk for short positions.
- **Support Level**: $1800 (psychological level + weekly support), if broken, it may accelerate to $1760-1780.
- **Indicator Status**: 4-hour RSI (49) is neutral to weak, MACD death cross is emerging, but trading volume is shrinking, caution is needed for a rebound correction.
2. **Market Sentiment and Correlation**
- **Bitcoin Drag Risk**: If BTC fails to stabilize at $97,000, the ETH/BTC exchange rate may weaken further, amplifying the decline.
- **Capital Diversion Pressure**: Recent market focus has shifted to SOL and other altcoins, with weak capital inflow to ETH (on-chain data shows an increase in net inflow to exchanges).
3. **On-chain Data and Event Risks**
- **Whale Movements**: An address holding 100,000 ETH transferred 5,000 ETH to Binance in the last 24 hours, which may imply short-term selling pressure.
### **Short Position Operation Optimization Suggestions**
- **Position Management**:
- **Current Short Stop Loss**: Recommended to set at $1865 (previous high + 3% margin for error).
- **Take Profit in Batches**:
✅ First Target $1800 (close 50%).
✅ Second Target $1760 (remaining position to follow stop loss).
- **Risk Hedging**:
- If BTC suddenly surges, a small BTC/ETH hedging position can be opened.
- **Key Observation Points**:
✅ **$1850 Sell Order Wall Thickness** (Coinbase/Binance spot market).
✅ **ETH Perpetual Contract Funding Rate** (if negative rate expands, shorts need to be wary of short squeeze risk).
