ETH is stuck between 4700-4800, watching for two signals this weekend: a volume surge to break above 5000, or a volume drop to fall below 4500. Sideways movement is accumulation, don't be afraid. Keep an eye on trading volume, operate with a small position, and wait for direction to enter. Don't be fooled by false breakouts, hold the key level at 4700.

A few days ago, ETH's surge was still fresh: it jumped directly from 4200 on Monday and reached 4888 by Wednesday, with many people shouting 'to 5000'. Friends who trade short-term around me entered at 4300 and took profit at 4800, locking in a 500-point profit, and said 'I can relax this week.' But just two days later, the market got stuck between 4700-4800, and the trading volume over the weekend halved, shifting from 'to 5000' to 'wait for direction' and 'trial and error with small positions.'
But don’t think that sideways trading means 'not moving up' — this is actually a healthy signal. How many people made profits and wanted to run after a sudden surge of 680 points? It's like climbing a mountain and needing to catch your breath after a 200-meter ascent; now that it's consolidating around 4700, it's essentially 'digesting profit-taking': some are cashing out above 4800 while others are quietly accumulating at 4700. This 'hand-over' can wash away 'unstable chips' that are eager to take profits, leaving behind long-term funds. As long as the range stabilizes, it can accumulate strength, like a spring being compressed and then rebounding more forcefully, laying the foundation for a push to 5000.
