Today, Ethereum's recent rally was vividly demonstrated like a textbook example by a seasoned trading account.

Here's what happened. About 6 hours ago, ETH's price surged into the $3002-$3019 range. Just as many retail investors were shouting "Go for it" in follow-the-leader fashion, an account nicknamed "Pension Fund" executed a clever counter-move—completely reducing its ETH position by 5180.87 ETH, locking in a solid profit of $230,000.

Why is this timing considered particularly perfect? The $3000 level is inherently a pressure point for ETH, and the narrow range of $3002-$3019 is a "dead zone" that has been tested multiple times but never held. Most retail traders, upon seeing the price break through, panic and buy in blindly, forgetting the golden rule—"Take profits near resistance levels."

The logic behind this account's operation is very clear: either it pre-calculated the pressure zone in advance or it keenly timed its moves based on market liquidity. The core principle is six words—don't be greedy for the last copper coin. That’s the secret to swing trading. Real profits are in the pocket; unrealized gains on paper are just illusions.

The most interesting part comes afterward. While everyone interpreted this reduction as a bearish signal and rushed to sell, the market started to reverse. ETH's price gradually cooled off and declined, market sentiment turned anxious, and everywhere you heard "Should I cut losses?" Meanwhile, that account had already exited completely, calmly collecting the gains. That’s the difference between professionalism and amateurism.
