Previously, I took a short position when Ethereum touched 3300. Looking back now, that decision was indeed too hasty. At the time, the market clearly wanted to push higher, but I was eager to catch the rebound and bottom out, ultimately being broken through by the upward momentum. This was a lesson learned.

Considering the current situation, Ethereum has stabilized around 3110, and its contract trading volume is only second to Bitcoin, indicating that the bullish momentum remains strong. If there is a short-term pullback to 3050, as long as it does not break below this level, the bullish pattern is still intact, and there is still a chance to continue pushing upward.

From a technical perspective, the range between 3300 and 3500 still looks promising. There may be a few shakeouts in the middle, but the overall direction should still be upward. Every dip could be a good opportunity to go long; the key is to maintain the right mindset and not be scared off by short-term fluctuations.

It got breached again. Short positions are really just a losing game.

Wow, that move to 3300 was really fierce. I almost got caught in it too. By the way, the bullish momentum is still there. If 3050 can hold, we can continue to look for a rally.

This is a typical reverse operation again. Going short directly at 3300 resulted in being pushed back. You're a bit greedy, huh?

Another sad story of retail investors being wiped out by big funds and trying to redeem themselves... 3300 short position, my friend, you really have guts. But in the end, you still got crushed by the bulls. Serves you right. But to be fair, now claiming 3050 is the bottom line, and there's a chance for 3300 to 3500... I've heard this kind of talk too many times. Every time it's "shakeout is just a buying opportunity," and what happens in the end? Bitcoin plunges, and in one night, it returns to where it was before the rally. Does high contract volume mean strong bullish momentum? I just lol. Big funds love to fool retail investors into entering and taking the bait...

Once again, I got my face slapped. The 3300 short position is really out of the question... I was thinking too simply back then and didn't see the strength of the bulls in this wave. Serves me right for losing out. 3050 is the bottom line. If it really breaks, then we'll talk. For now, we still need to respect the upward trend. Honestly, I still have some expectations for the 3300 to 3500 range, just worried it will shake out and hit my stop-loss again.

Oops, placing a short bet at 3300 was indeed a bit hasty. The funds are still pushing, and you're trying to turn around. If the bulls explode this wave, it won't be unfair. Based on my analysis, now that the contract has stabilized at 3110 with such strong volume, the bulls' psychological resilience is very high. If 3050 doesn't break, we need to keep pushing forward. In my opinion, we should wait for a shakeout to clear out the panic sellers—that's the real opportunity. By the way, how do the on-chain whales view this? We need to check which positions the wallet addresses have been accumulating recently. Remember this lesson: don't be scared off by short-term fluctuations. Maintaining the right mindset is more important than anything else.
