April 13 Morning Analysis: 2173 Deep V is a "Fake Drop," Institutions Are Accumulating Above 2200

Core Data: ETH is currently trading at 2204 (Beijing time 09:00), after a rapid rebound from a low of 2173 last night, confirming that 2150-2180 is a strong support zone. This is not a trend reversal, but a deep shakeout by the main players using news as an excuse.

1. The threefold logic behind last night's "Deep V"

1. Geopolitical "Buy expectations, sell facts": The US-Iran negotiations confirmed "no agreement," and Vance returned to the US empty-handed. The market's previous "peace premium" was quickly wiped out, causing a sharp drop during the session. But the quick recovery from 2173 proves this was just an emotional release, not a fundamental collapse.
2. ETF funds support: Despite geopolitical bad news, the US Ethereum spot ETF still saw a net inflow of about $65 million last Friday (led by BlackRock). Institutions continued buying during the decline, which is the fundamental driver for the rapid rebound.
3. Regulatory tone-setting: Japan's Cabinet officially included BTC/ETH in the "Financial Instruments and Exchange Act," granting them the same legal status as stocks. This provides compliance backing for medium- and long-term institutional allocations, limiting downside space.

2. Trader perspective: How should ordinary people respond?

Current situation: Price has returned above 2200 but has not yet broken through the resistance zone of 2230-2250, indicating a recovery and consolidation phase.

❌ Common misconceptions:

- Panic selling at sharp drops, ending up selling at the bottom.
- Chasing the rally at the first sign of rebound, getting caught at the upper end of the oscillation.

✅ My advice (risk control first):

1. Holders: Be patient. As long as 2150 is not broken, the trend remains intact. Last night's low of 2173 is now the new defense line.
2. Those out of position: Buy on dips. Do not chase above 2220. Wait for a pullback to 2180-2190 and stabilize before gradually accumulating.
3. Key action: Watch whether there is a volume breakout above 2230. If broken, look toward 2280; if it falls below 2170 again, exit and observe.

3. Future outlook

Short-term (today): Expect consolidation in the 2180-2230 range. If there are no new geopolitical black swans in the US market, there may be an attempt to test resistance at 2250. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战 $ETH
