Short-selling strategy (ETH current price $2830) Step 1: Identify key pressure points
The current ETH price is $2,830, keeping an eye on the two pressure zones above:
1. $2,850 (a position where the price has failed to rise several times recently)
2. $2,900 (psychological integer level, difficult to break through)
→ As long as the price rises near these two positions and the trading volume shrinks, it is a short-selling opportunity.
Step 2: Confirm technical signals
Simple judgment method:
✅ MACD yellow and white lines cross downward (check the MACD two lines "death cross" in the mobile APP)
✅ RSI exceeds 70 (the indicator turns red, indicating overbought)
✅ The K-line has an "upper shadow" (rushing to a high position and then falling back quickly, like a shooting star)
Example:
If ETH rises to $2,840 and the trading volume is 20% less than the previous hour, and MACD crosses, short sell immediately.
If it reaches $2,880 but a long upper shadow appears, place a short order directly.
Step 3: Set your stop loss and profit target
Stop Loss:
Conservatives: above $2,900 (loss within 3%)
Radicals: set at $2,860 (loss within 2%)
Take Profit:
First target: $2750 (recent support, earn 3%)
Second target: $2,650 (strong support, earn 6%)
→ When the price drops to the target level, close half of the position and set a trailing stop loss for the remaining half

A guide to avoiding pitfalls for beginners
1. Never go all-in: no more than 10% of total funds in a single transaction
2. Avoid data release time: US GDP data will be released at 21:30 tonight, close positions in advance to avoid explosions
3. Set price reminders on your mobile phone:
Rising to 2850 → Notification → Prepare to short
Falling below 2800 → Notification → Prepare to short
