#数字资产市场洞察 Ethereum's weekend trend has fallen into a stalemate, with the current price stuck around 2970, showing almost no notable fluctuation—this is precisely the calm before the storm. If this pattern holds during the day, there will likely be some movement in the evening.

From a trading perspective, the subtle balance among market makers lies behind this sideways movement. Prices repeatedly test near the cost line, essentially waiting for tonight's closing signal to determine the direction. The help that technical analysis can provide is actually very limited; in the end, it still depends on whether the price breaks through support or resistance.

There are two possible scenarios: one is that it breaks above 3050 directly tonight, and then during the night there may be a short-selling opportunity in the 2850 to 2900 range, turning into a bullish mode. The other is that the price first drops below 2900, creating a false impression of a bearish market, and tomorrow it reverses to pull out a large bullish candle, inducing short positions before reversing.

The most rational approach at the moment is still to stay on the sidelines, follow up with small amounts, and wait for the direction to be confirmed before increasing positions. In the case of market trends, patience often prevails over aggression. Pay attention to the subsequent performance of $ETH .

2970 is really a tough position, it feels like the market maker is playing a psychological game... --- It's easiest to get trapped during a sideways market, better to wait for a breakout signal before making a move. --- I've seen this bear trap reverse tactic too many times, be careful not to get played for suckers. --- Tonight it looks like a breakout is coming, should I bet on 3050 or stick with 2900? --- Patience sounds easy to talk about, but when the market comes, it's hard to bear... I understand it all too well. --- Market makers balance things out just to accumulate, don't be fooled by the surface. --- $ETH's performance this time depends on tonight, it's either to da moon or plummet, there's no third option. --- Following in small amounts is right, but entering large amounts is just looking for death. --- The technicals are indeed disappointing, the market relies on luck and patience. --- It feels like 3050 won't break, is another bull trap coming? --- The key is where to set the stop loss, it's not about guessing the rise or fall.

It's riddle time again, the 2970 card is really tense here, it feels like whether we eat chicken or noodles all depends on a thought tonight.

It's the same old trap of being in a stalemate again, always talking about the silence before the storm, but what’s the outcome? Slowly grinding until the end of time. Market maker balance? Sounds like a fairy tale, to put it bluntly, no one can predict what happens next. What's so special about 2970? Anyway, I'm not moving, I'll wait and see.

Wait for the noise in the middle of the night, anyway, it's so annoying to be sideways.

Here we go again with this same excuse, something about silence before the storm... To put it bluntly, it just means there's no direction, right? Don't make it sound so mysterious. Wait, is there going to be another bear trap this time? They said the same thing yesterday... It sounds nice to say we should increase the position once the direction is confirmed, but who knows when that confirmation will come? $ETH buddy, I have high hopes for you, but please don't mess with me, okay?

It's that same old market maker balance theory again, my ears are getting calloused from hearing it, haha.

Here we go again? If it's Sideways, there should be some movement, but I haven't seen any. Just waiting for the evening, anyway, I’ve locked what I needed to lock. To be honest, I don't understand the market maker's approach, I'm just going to follow the rhythm and that's it. At 2970 here, it feels like it will take a few more days to stir things up.

This sideways movement is really annoying, it feels like we are just waiting for a signal, which is uncomfortable.
