【CryptoWorld】ETH’s recent 4-hour trend is still worth paying attention to. The price rose from the lower point at 2025-12-15 16:00 up to 2025-12-16 16:00, then reached a high after 2025-12-16 20:00 before pulling back, with the last candlestick closing bearish. It looks like a resistance encounter during a rally.
In terms of trading volume, it has been clearly shrinking in the past few hours. The declining volume combined with price retracement indicates that the market is currently a bit quiet, with both bulls and bears on the sidelines.
Regarding technical indicators, although the MACD histogram is still negative, it is gradually shortening, indicating that the bearish momentum is weakening and the bulls are showing signs of movement. The KDJ indicator shows an oversold condition (value at 19), with no clear golden cross or death cross at the moment, and the market is still searching for direction.
Based on technical analysis, the key levels are as follows:
Support levels: 2872.0 is the strongest recent support, followed by 2924.11. The stop-loss is set at 2909.49.
Resistance levels: 3190.0 is the main resistance, with a higher point at 3242.59. The short position stop-loss is at 3258.8.
The recent trading range fluctuates between 2924.11 and 3242.59. According to the current technical pattern, if the price can hold above 2872 and break through 3190 with increased volume, a new upward move may be on the horizon. Conversely, if it falls below 2872, the bears may continue to push lower. Watching when the volume recovers is the key.

The shrinking volume is a bit annoying, feels like everyone is waiting for the next big opportunity.

The trading volume is shrinking, and the rhythm is a bit dull. Just wait to see if 2872 holds or not; if it breaks, then we'll see.

The decline in trading volume is a bit dull this time; the bulls haven't gained momentum yet.

With such shrinking volume, can the bulls really break through? It feels a bit uncertain.
I just want to know if it will drop further after falling to 2872.
Chasing highs and encountering resistance—I'm tired of this routine. Maybe I'll wait for the KDJ golden cross before acting.
A rebound from an oversold condition is standard, but this time it doesn't feel as strong.
Although the bears are weakening, the bulls aren't showing much strength either.

The volume shrinks and prices fall back. This surge was really just a false alarm; we must hold above 2872.

The shrinking volume is quite awkward; the bulls aren't ready yet.
