ETH is now acting like a "Sea King", teasing both bulls and bears back and forth in the 2500-2580 USD range, playing with the "ambiguous period" tug-of-war!
1. Price is stuck at the "Blind Date Corner", bulls and bears are unimpressed with each other
Current ETH price is 2537 USD, stuck at the "Blind Date Corner" of 2500-2580 for 5 days. Last weekend, it was supposed to rush to 2600 USD to meet the parents, but ended up being dragged down by Bitcoin, now it can only squat in the range to gain presence.
2. MACD playing "Werewolf", the green bars are actually moles
The MACD green bars just emerged, but the DIF and DEA lines are still underwater, a typical "false smile golden cross", looking like it's about to charge, but actually it's just holding back.
Dealer's trick: This pattern is either a false breakout above 2580 USD to trick retail investors into buying, or it will directly break below 2500 USD to cut losses.
3. Trading volume using the "stealth strategy", the dealer is waiting in the bushes to harvest
Bullish script: If there’s a sudden surge in volume that breaks 2580 USD, it's highly likely the dealer is transferring from left hand to right hand to pump up the price, attracting trend-following traders before shorting.
Bearish script: If it breaks below 2500 USD, directly watch for 2450 support, where miners and institutions have their bottom-line chips waiting.
4. News front is in "blind box mode", SEC and ETF can cause trouble at any time
Bullish blind box: If the US suddenly approves the ETH spot ETF tonight, the price could spike to 2600+ USD, but be careful of Vitalik selling off or BlackRock taking the opportunity to offload.
Bearish clear card: The SEC has recently been focusing on ETH for "staking regulation"; if they really take action, even 2400 USD might not hold.
5. Operation advice: Lying flat is more advanced than action
Spot traders: Lie in the coffin board and play dead, don’t get scared out of chips by the up-and-down spikes. ETH big holders have been buying more as prices drop since November 2024, clearly aiming for a war of attrition.
Contract traders: Place two limit orders — go long if it breaks 2550 USD, stop loss if it falls below 2490 USD, and don’t exceed 3% of your position. ETH is currently playing a game of "whoever gets emotional loses".
Ending hook:
ETH is now a "Schrodinger’s Coin"; if it doesn’t break above 2580 USD, it’s just oscillating garbage, and even if it breaks, it could still be a trap for bulls.
Survival rule in crypto world:
Better to miss out on 10% profit than to die in a 1% liquidation!
