'The crypto market never has an eternal feast, only a life-and-death game of rapid changes!'
At this moment, ETH is hanging over a cliff. A battle concerning $1.6 billion in long and short positions has plunged the entire crypto circle into a breath-holding moment!
Morning shock: Trump's remarks detonated a 'nuclear bomb' in the crypto circle.
This morning, Trump's controversial statement was like a deep-water bomb, directly breaking through the key defense line of ETH at $4300. The price quickly dropped to a low of $4278, with a decline of over 5% in 24 hours, and the market panic index soared to the 'red alert' zone!
Why can one statement trigger a 'bloodbath'? On one hand, the crypto market is inherently sensitive and fragile; the 'uncertainty' brought by Trump's comments instantly became the fuse for a mad attack by bears. On the other hand, this crash coincidentally bumped into the 'time bomb' of ETH staking unlock—A large amount of locked ETH flooding into the market, bears took the opportunity to increase their short positions, and the bulls had no means to defend themselves, being crushed instantly.
Life-and-death game: $4300, the last 'lifeline' for the bulls.
The current situation of ETH resembles a besieged lonely city; $4300 is the last line of defense for the bulls, and its gain or loss directly determines the short-term trend:
If it holds above $4300: The bulls may gain breathing room, and there is hope for a counterattack, even replicating the BTC trend of July 2025—stabilizing and rebounding at key points, driving the overall market to recover.
If it breaks below $4250: $1.6 billion in long positions will trigger a 'forced liquidation chain reaction', and selling pressure will flood the market like a tide. ETH is highly likely to break through the psychological barrier of $4000, even recreating the brutal scene of '$735 million in positions being liquidated' on July 25, 2025!
Rational reminder: Don't let the 'buying the dip' slogan cloud your judgment.
The current market voices are polarized: Some shout '4250 is the century's bottom', while others call for 'hurry up and stop loss to escape'. But it must be clearly recognized: Before the liquidation crisis is completely lifted, any rebound may be a 'death trap', blindly entering the market is akin to taking nuts from a fire.
Emergency response strategy: Every second of decision-making concerns the survival of funds.
1. Stop loss! Stop loss! Stop loss! (Important things are said three times)
◦ For heavy investors: Immediately set stop-loss orders below $4250 to avoid 'nuclear-level' downside risk and prevent positions from completely going to zero.
◦ For light investors: If the price breaks below $4250, do not hesitate, directly liquidate and observe—'If the green mountains remain, one need not worry about firewood', preserving capital is essential for future opportunities.
2. Keep a close eye on the movements of whales to seize the on-chain initiative.
Focus on monitoring two key data points: First, the specific time for large ETH staking unlocks; second, the inflow of ETH wallets on mainstream exchanges (such as Binance, OKX) to predict market selling pressure in advance.
Reference case: In July 2025, when PumpFun's launch triggered a collective crash of meme coins, top trader 'pigeon pigeon' identified the 'misjudgment opportunity' of Fartcoin in advance through on-chain data, accurately buying the dip for high returns. This is enough to prove: In the crypto market, information asymmetry is a matter of life and death!
3. Prepare 'bullets' and wait for opportunities after the panic selling is released.
◦ If ETH shows a significant drop below $4250 and the panic index continues to rise, it may welcome a 'century bottom' similar to March 2024—when Bitcoin plummeted 15% in a single day due to unexpected interest rate hikes but quickly rebounded and reached a historical high.
◦ But it must be remembered: Only do right-side trading! Wait until the downtrend is clearly stopped and rebound signals are clear before entering the market, and do not act as a 'warrior catching flying knives' to avoid being trapped in a continuous decline.
Can your position withstand this battle between bulls and bears?
'The crypto market has no 'safe zone', only a 'survival zone'!'
At this moment, ETH is undergoing a 'life-and-death exam' concerning its trend—Is this a technical pullback, or the beginning of a bear market? Can the $1.6 billion liquidation alarm be lifted before the $4300 defense line?
