ETH's recent trading approach is actually very simple—it's all about learning to wait.
From a candlestick perspective, there are two key levels worth paying attention to:
1. If the price effectively breaks below 2870, then it's time to consider short positions. Setting the stop-loss between 2900 and 2905 is more prudent.
2. If the price remains above 2870, look for long opportunities above this area. Place the stop-loss at 2870, but if you're worried about being whipped out, you can also set it at 2850.
To put it simply, you won't always be able to enter at the perfect point. Sometimes, not catching the ideal entry is itself a form of profit—avoiding risk is equivalent to protecting your capital. This is the wisdom of trading.

Wait, wait, wait, why do I feel like this logic is a bit confusing? Not waiting for the point actually turns out to be a way to make money? If I keep not waiting, won't I get rich? Hahaha

Wait, wait, wait, is 2870 really that critical? It feels like I hear about these levels every time…
---
That's right, but I still tend to be impulsive. It's really hard to resist jumping in…
---
Learning to wait sounds simple, but actually doing it is deadly…
---
I just want to ask, has anyone ever waited for that perfect entry point, or is it all just self-deception…
---
Not entering the market is the best trade. That sounds so comforting…
---
I've been watching the 2870 line for two months, but still haven't seen any big move…
---
Avoiding risk is equal to protecting the principal. The theory is sound, but the key is how to stick to it…
---
You guys set your stop-losses very carefully, I usually get wiped out in a margin call…
---
Waiting? My kind of waiting is just watching it rise and then regretting…
---
That's so true. Sometimes doing nothing is the most profitable. I wish I could just hold back…

Wait, wait, wait, why do I feel like this logic is a bit reversed? Isn't it profitable when it doesn't hit the target? Then if I do nothing every day, wouldn't I just make a guaranteed profit? Haha

Wait a minute... It's that 2870 level again, how many times have I heard this before? Every time they say it's a critical point, but the result keeps bouncing back.
ngl this sounds like they're just teaching people how to find excuses not to trade, "Not waiting for the right level itself is the way to profit"? Then I might as well just lie flat.
Whether 2850 can hold or not is the real issue. Don't just talk about risk management.
