Wintermute Founder: Mission Over Price, Will Continue Long-Term ETH Holdings Evgeny Gaevoy, founder and CEO of Wintermute, stated: "When the Ethereum Foundation released its mission statement, I saw more criticism than celebration, which is quite reasonable. After all, most of us in the crypto industry have transformed and integrated into the existing world system. More seriously, the Ethereum Foundation is currently the only player with both resources and network effects that can not only maintain the cypherpunk dream but also actually realize it. In the short term, will this be reflected in Ethereum's price? Definitely not. Will it in the long term? Only if it succeeds. Should we care about price? I personally think the mission is more important. I absolutely believe that at least someone should try to realize this mission at the macro level, rather than just pursuing financial applications. The rest of the people can choose to do what they do, or choose whether to hold ETH. To be honest, holding it long-term is a very long-term bet, but compared to other worse 'beliefs,' it's acceptable, so I will continue to hold my ETH for the culture and the meme."

【UNIUSDT Signal】Long Position: 4H Breakout Structure & Bid Depth Resonance Price has broken through the 3.995 previous resistance at the 4-hour level, but the current 1-hour candlestick shows weakening buying momentum. The core contradiction lies in: the breakout structure is established, but short-term price-volume divergence has emerged. The 4-hour candlestick sequence shows price rallying with volume expansion from the 3.907 low point across four consecutive bullish candles, touching a high of 3.996. Trading volume significantly expanded during the breakout process (from 689K to 1.521M), forming preliminary confirmation of a valid breakout. However, the latest 4-hour candle (12:00-16:00) closed with a long upper wick and volume contracted sharply to 382K. The buy/sell ratio dropped to 0.41, indicating weakening momentum from breakout chasers. The 1-hour level reveals a clearer pullback demand. After price created a 3.996 high at 11:00, it declined across two consecutive candles. The latest hour (13:00-14:00) saw the buy/sell ratio plummet to 0.33, showing clear profit-taking. On technical indicators, the 1-hour RSI (49.47) has retreated from overbought territory, and EMA20 (3.957) and EMA50 (3.9538) are about to form a death cross, increasing short-term correction pressure. Order book depth provides key support evidence. Bid orders accumulate heavily in the 3.93-3.95 zone (totaling over 100K UNI), forming a solid support wall. Ask orders in the 3.95-3.97 zone are relatively sparse, with depth imbalance reaching 24.98% and a bid/ask depth ratio of 1.67. This means when price pulls back downward, it will encounter strong passive buying absorption, with downside being materially locked. 🎯 Direction: Pending Long ⚡ Entry: 3.935 - 3.945 (at the lower edge of dense bid zone) 🛑 Stop Loss: 3.875 (below daily level previous low and technical indicator stop loss level) 🚀 Targets: 4.059 / 4.121 (corresponding to previous resistance levels and extension targets) 🛡 Strategy: Reduce position by half at target 1, move remaining position stop loss up to entry price. Logic: The current market structure is a typical main player breakout followed by profit-taking consolidation. The 4-hour volume breakout has already attracted trend followers. The main players are using 1-hour volume contraction pullbacks to shake out weak holders. The order book shows large bid orders stacked in the 3.93-3.95 zone—these are institutional and main player support orders awaiting pullback entries. Bears lack ammunition to press downward because every decline will encounter fierce absorption from these passive bids. Funding rate remains positive (0.0054%), and open interest is stable, indicating a healthy long structure with no panic selling. The path of least resistance is: price retraces to the bid wall top (3.935-3.945) to find support, then gathers strength to test space above 4.0. This is a low-risk opportunity to utilize market pullbacks and ride the main player capital tailwind.
