A fan asked me yesterday, saying ETH has been falling constantly, and he’s feeling very anxious, asking whether he should sell.

I told him a metaphor—have you seen a 100-meter sprinter?
Mid-race, when they get tired, they squat down to catch their breath and tie their shoelaces.
At this moment, do you think they’re about to die on the track, or do you think they’re gathering strength for the final sprint?

This is a common problem among retail investors.
When prices go up, they think it’s not fast enough; when prices fall, they start doubting everything.
Actually, the main players’ tactics are very simple—sometimes a decline isn’t really about dumping, it’s just scaring the timid away.
Just like shoelaces that won’t come undone, once tied, it’s time to stand up and move on.

Let’s calmly look at ETH’s current state.
The previous spike hit 1736, which is like testing whether the floor is solid.
Since it didn’t break through and rebounded above 2000, it shows the bottom is stable.
That deep dip is the main players’ golden opportunity.

Now the price is around 2080, with decreasing volume.
What does this mean?
Those wanting to cut losses have already left; what remains are those unwilling to sell.
The selling pressure has dried up, the sprinter has caught their breath, and usually, it’s time to accelerate again.
This dip looks fierce, but it hasn’t actually broken the key level of 2000.
It’s just a show for retail investors, making you think the crash is coming, so you obediently hand over your chips.

Once you understand that the main players are taking a break at halftime,
we shouldn’t go short at this moment.
What we should do is quietly follow behind when they tie their shoelaces and stand up.

The ambush zone is between 2030 and 2045.
The main players pulling the price back above 2000 with effort won’t easily dump it again.
This is the highest value zone.
Set your stop-loss at 1990—this is the bottom line.
If even the 2000 support is broken, it means the situation is truly bad, and it’s time to run decisively.

There are two profit targets.
The first is 2130, which is the ceiling of previous rebounds.
The second is 2177, the vacuum zone after a breakout.

The current market looks like a giant filter,
filtering out the impatient, timid, and those lacking patience.
Only those who wait patiently will see the moment when the shoelaces are tied and the power is unleashed again.
