Ethereum Approaches Previous High: Key Game of Breakthrough Signals and Pattern Resolution

1. Core Operational Strategy: Aggressive and Steady Long-Short Responses

• Long Strategy:

1. Volume Breakthrough at $4615 → Aggressive traders can chase long on the right side, using 'recovering this level' as a dynamic stop loss (confirming breakthrough strength);

2. Pullback to $4505 with valid support → Light position to try long, stop loss at $4476 (break below means support failure);

3. Hourly stability above $4618 → Trend acceleration signal, targets successively at $4642 → $4694;

4. Left-side ambush: place long orders at $4257, stop loss at $4217 (deep pullback layout, proceed with caution).

• Short Strategy:

1. Volume breakthrough below $4564 → Chase short on the right side, strictly maintain stop loss (prevent rebound risk);

2. Resistance at $4642 above → Light position to try short, immediately stop loss if it breaks and stabilizes above $4694 (critical point of pressure defense).

2. Key Levels and Sprinting Towards Previous High: Ladder Layout of Pressure and Support

• Pressure Level Hierarchy: $4618 (breakthrough confirmation line) → $4642 (short-term resistance) → $4694 (near previous high), each breakthrough needs to be supported by volume; currently, the distance to the previous high is just over $200, with clear intent to sprint;

• Support Level Bottom Line: $4562 (immediate defense) → $4502 (pullback buffer) → $4478 (key support), the strength of support directly affects the sprinting rhythm.

3. 4-Hour and Daily Level Pattern Resolution: Big Horn Risk Eliminated

• 4-Hour Pullback Signal: Break below $4561 → Pullback space opens, targets at $4503 → $4441 (be wary of washout actions before the sprint);

• Daily Level Key Breakthrough: The expanding big horn pattern has been broken and stabilized — this is an important signal of trend strengthening. As long as it does not fall back into the big horn pattern, the previous 'touching the lower boundary' risk is eliminated, clearing obstacles for the challenge to the previous high.

Summary: Sprinting to the previous high requires volume, closely watch the defense at $4562.

Currently, the market is in a key stage of 'sprinting to the previous high + pattern resolution,' core operations: aggressive traders rely on the breakthrough at $4615 to follow, while steady traders look for confirmation above $4618. After the daily big horn pattern breakthrough, bullish sentiment is stronger, but be wary of pullback washouts before the sprint (with $4562 as the defense line). The previous high is within reach, and volume will be the final piece of the puzzle determining success or failure.
