Looking at the current ETH market trend, holding a short position at high levels is actually the most straightforward way to profit. But many people go against the trend and dive into the bottom-fishing trap. The problem is, now is really not the time to bottom-fish—there's a high chance of a second round of dumping.
The market is likely to first undergo a wave of oscillation and shakeout, setting up trap for bullish traps. Subsequently, a range around 2900+ yuan may form a trapped position, lowering the chips. Once this round of consolidation is sufficient, it will test the key support line at 2720 downward.
So instead of blindly chasing rebounds, it's better to wait patiently. The certainty of shorting at high levels is often more valuable than the uncertainty of buying low.

High-level short positions are truly the best, but some people insist on defying the odds and bottom-fishing. Isn't that just jumping into a pit oneself?
Waiting for the bottom-fishing to be over is the way to go, see you at 2720.
Honestly, why rush at this position? Wait until the shakeout is complete before talking.
Holding cash is the most comfortable; just watch the show.
I'm impressed by those who buy the dip; they really treat themselves as bottom detectors.
Stay steady, don't fall for the trap of false breakout tricks. The volatility is still ahead.
You're right, certainty in holding cash vs. uncertainty in catching the falling knife, I choose the former.
Bottom-fishing, in the end, everyone becomes the bag-holder. Better to wait.
The detail of pushing down at 2900 has been well executed; patience is indeed necessary.
Now, those going all-in to catch the falling knife are just waiting for the moment to get trapped.

Here are some distinctive and realistic comments:
---
Holding a vacant position at a high level is indeed comfortable, but it's easy to get caught off guard haha
---
2720 still needs to wait, entering now is just sending food to the big players
---
Here comes another trap to lure more buyers, tired of this routine
---
That's right, most people who try to catch the rebound end up losing money
---
Patience is easy to say, but can you really wait?
---
The idea that staying out of the market makes money sounds good, but what if you miss out?
---
Support lines are only clear in hindsight; who knew at the time?
---
The uncertainty of low buying, this wave is indeed risky
