#加密市场开年反弹 #ETH走势分析 $ETH
Currently, the ETH price is around 3230, and it is in a very delicate "emotional game point."
1. In-depth analysis of ETH today (2026.01.06)
1. Structure and dynamics
* Risk of false breakout: 3230-3250 — this is a key supply zone (Supply Zone). Although the price is now touching this zone, the RSI index on the 1-hour chart clearly shows a bearish divergence. This means the price is rising, but the momentum (Momentum) is weakening.
* Liquidation map: a large number of short positions are being liquidated near 3280. Likely, the market will make one last "push" upward to clear these short positions, then quickly revert back.
2. Filtering macro noise
* The market is processing recent blockchain data. Although long-term it is set for growth, the short-term funding rate (Funding Rate) is already overheated. This is usually a precursor to a "bullish death" for bulls.
2. Current price 3230: audit based on the three "no"s
* Not against the trend: the trend here is upward, but the overbought zone has already been reached. Do not open new long positions here.
* Not against the position: if you open a long position here, the stop-loss should be at 3180. The margin for maneuver is too narrow, and the risk-reward ratio is poor.
* Not too often: if you did not enter at 3170, now, entering at 3230, is a typical "emotional move." Silence is the highest level of operation.
3. Today's levels and execution strategy
We are not playing the market, we are just waiting for it to fall into a trap.
Option A: Capture the "recovery after decline" (bullish strategy)
* Logic: the market needs to be pushed down to clear the longs with leverage near 3200, so it can move easily.
* Observation area: 3150 - 3180.
* Trigger: when the price returns to this zone and a volume decrease signal appears on the 15-minute chart (pause sign).
* Stop-loss (red line): 3110 (breakout — loss of logic).
* Exit position: 3350.
Option B: Imitate a "false breakout" at high levels (bearish strategy)
* Logic: after breaking through 3280 and clearing short positions, the price will quickly decrease and fall below 3250.
* Trigger: act when returning to 3230-3240.
* Stop-loss (red line): 3285 (no additional positions against the trend, breakout — stop).
* Exit position: 3080.
Profits and losses are at your discretion. Make your own decisions.

#加密市场开年反弹 #ETH走势分析 $ETH
Currently, ETH price is around 3230, at a very delicate "sentiment game point."
1. Deep logical analysis of ETH today (2026.01.06)
1. Structure and Dynamics
* Fake Breakout Risk: 3230-3250 is a key supply zone from previous periods. Although the current price touches this area, the RSI indicator on the 1-hour level shows a clear bearish divergence. This means the price is rising, but momentum is waning.
* Liquidation Map: A large number of short leverage liquidation points are concentrated around 3280. The market is very likely to launch a "final charge" upward to wipe out these shorts, then quickly fall back.
2. Macro Noise Filtering
* The market is digesting recent on-chain data outflows. Although long-term bullish, the short-term funding rate has overheated. This is usually a precursor to "longs killing longs."
2. Current price at 3230: Three No's Principle Audit
* No Against the Trend: The trend here is upward, but it has entered overbought territory. Never open a heavy long position here.
* No Holding the Position: If you open a long here, stop loss must be set at 3180. The space is too large, and the risk-reward ratio is poor.
* No Frequent Trading: If you didn't enter at 3170 just now, entering at 3230 now is a typical "emotional re-entry." Staying silent is the highest level of operation.
3. Today's Levels and Execution Strategies
We don't gamble on the market; we only wait for the market to fall into a trap.
Option A: Capture the "Pullback and Rebound" (Bullish Strategy)
* Logic: The market needs to drop to clear out leveraged longs chasing around 3200 before it can move freely.
* Observation Zone: 3150 - 3180.
* Trigger: When the price falls back to this area and shows a "stop decline signal" with decreasing volume on the 15-minute level.
* Stop Loss (Steel Red Line): 3110 (Break below invalidates the logic).
* Take Profit: 3350.
Option B: High-level Exhaustion "Fake Breakout" (Bearish Strategy)
* Logic: After the price breaks through 3280 to wipe out shorts, it quickly volume-drops and falls back below 3250.
* Trigger: When the price returns to 3230 - 3240, follow up.
* Stop Loss (Steel Red Line): 3285 (Never add against the trend, stop loss if breaking high).
* Take Profit: 3080.
Profit and loss are at your own risk; please refer to your own judgment.
