ETH 3300: Even dogs shake their heads at this market

This market has me yawning nonstop, tears almost coming out.

Right now, the $ETH candlestick looks like an old lady crossing the street—looking back every step. Want to break above 3400 but can't move, want to drop below 3200 but can't give up that support, just stubbornly grinding there.

Just now in the group, someone asked, “Old暴, can we push through 3305?”

I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. This position is a textbook **“mid-mountain”**! Charging from the mid-mountain, with rolling stones above (3400 resistance), and an abyss below (breaking 3250), what are you aiming for? Heartbeat? Or giving the whales a fare?

Don’t get dizzy chasing those flashy indicators. Here’s a word of advice from Lao Bao:

👀 Big cycle (4H) perspective:
That high point at 3403 is obviously a **“trap”** set by the main force. They tested the waters and found too much selling pressure, so they dumped it. Now the candlestick hangs in mid-air, MACD’s red bars are shrinking, but the bulls clearly aren’t full yet—soft and weak. Don’t expect it to firm up.

🔍 Small cycle (1H/15m) perspective:
Looking at the 1-hour chart, the price is stuck around the 3300 level, bouncing up and down. This is a classic **“accumulation and shakeout zone”**. The main force wants to use this dead time on the weekend to shake out impatient retail traders (the so-called “weak hands”). If you chase the rise or sell on dips now, you’ll get slapped on both cheeks—your face might even swell.

🦈 Trading strategy: lie low like a crocodile
In this volatile market, the worst thing you can do is—“chase”.
Direction: buy high and sell low. Don’t dream of big surges or crashes during the weekend; there’s not enough volume.

🟢 Positioning (Longs)
Entry zone: 3245 - 3265
Logic: Looking at the 1-hour chart, 3251 was the low point of the last spike, which is the bulls’ “moat”. Only if it drops here does it have some value.
Stop loss: 3220 (if it breaks below, the moat is breached—run fast, don’t hold, you’ll die holding).

🔴 Positioning (Shorts)
Entry zone: 3360 - 3380
Logic: 3400 is yesterday’s heartbreak zone, with a bunch of “corpses” (stuck positions) above. If the price dares to touch it, the trapped and profit-taking orders will come crashing down like bricks.
Stop loss: 3413 (if it breaks above the previous high, it means the whales are serious—cut losses and save your life).

💰 Take-profit strategy: no matter long or short, take profits of 30-50 dollars and exit in batches. In this market, securing profits is the golden rule—don’t be greedy.

One last word: trading is 90% waiting and only 10% firing.

Many people lose money not because of poor skills, but simply because they’re reckless.

Spend Sunday with family or enjoy a cup of tea. That awkward 3300 position—play if you want, but we only do the two-way business.
