Short position operation range suggestion: Short at resistance in the 3560-3600 range, stop loss at 3630, target 3430→3370.

Risk warning and key points:
Macroeconomic events: Focus on the U.S. July PCE Price Index at 20:30. If inflation exceeds expectations, it may reinforce the Federal Reserve's hawkish stance, negatively impacting the cryptocurrency market.
Technical signals: If ETH breaks below 3430, observe the validity of the 3370 support.
Capital management: Single trade position should not exceed 15%, total position should not exceed 30%, and stop losses should be strictly set.
Current market sentiment is bearish, with bears dominating the technical aspect, but caution is needed for short-term rebounds after being oversold. It is recommended to focus on short positions, trying small shorts at key resistance levels and avoiding blind bottom fishing before support levels stabilize.
