Ethereum 3600+, it's not a sudden surge, it's been held back for too long
To be honest, I'm not surprised by this wave; it had been consolidating for so long, so many people couldn't understand, couldn't take it, and couldn't help but cut their positions. The main players hadn't even moved yet, and you were already out.
Above 3500, a lot of people were shouting 'Ethereum has peaked, short it', and what happened? A strong push, cleaned out completely.
Just like a friend of mine said: 'Every time Ethereum surges, it makes me doubt whether I've wasted three years studying candlesticks.'
But to be honest, this Ethereum rise actually had early warning signs.
That kind of relentless consolidation, who can withstand it? It's both horizontal and strong, and the volume isn't dead; it's not a rhythm that retail investors can play with.
I said back then: this isn't a lack of market, it's holding back for a big move.
You ask me why I could tell it was going to rise?
It's not that I'm particularly good at reading charts, it's about the rhythm being right. When you feel something is off, the main players might have secretly finished adding to their positions.
Also, haven't you noticed that the altcoins have started to collectively move?
Before every big surge, the second and third tier coins will first show some signs. When the atmosphere heats up and it's Ethereum's turn to move, that’s the signal.
Now that it's over 3600+, I won't tell you to chase it.
But I also won't say 'short it'; in this market, the most dangerous thing is if you're still stuck in the old mindset of 'selling at high positions' from last year.
Ultimately, whether you can make money isn't about how much you understand, it's about whether you can first understand what the market is saying.
The market has changed, the rhythm has changed, don't use the playbook from 2022 to view 2025.
How will the next wave unfold? I don’t predict, I follow the trend.
With the right direction and rhythm, the opportunities that should arise will not be lacking for you.
