Looking at the two recent messages together, the market logic becomes clear.
First, let's look at the external developments. The US Treasury market has sent positive signals—volatility may record its largest annual decline since 2009, and the fear index has fallen to a near two-month low. What does this mean? The most sensitive indicator of the global financial market is signaling stability. The effects of the Federal Reserve's rate cuts are becoming evident, concerns about a hard landing are easing, and risk appetite among large funds is warming up.
For cryptocurrencies, this is a significant positive. When traditional finance operates smoothly, funds are more willing to spill over to seek higher-yield investment opportunities. As the frontier of risk assets, cryptocurrencies tend to benefit in such environments, according to historical patterns.
However, looking at ETH's chart, the situation appears a bit "incongruous."
ETH price has been oscillating around $2935, with the 4-hour chart showing a somewhat awkward position—there's significant resistance in the $2950-3000 range, with multiple failed attempts and insufficient volume; support currently lies at $2900-2920, which is holding for now, but the technical indicators are already starting to fall behind, with momentum waning, and the white and yellow lines showing signs of turning downward at high levels.
The market is waiting for a decision—whether to break through resistance following the macro optimism or to retest support. The answer may be hidden in the next few candlesticks.

With such a bullish macro environment, ETH is still dragging its feet here, which is honestly a bit disappointing.

The overall warmth is warmth, but ETH just won't cooperate. This situation is a bit awkward.

The macro environment is warm, but how can ETH, in its timid state, be worthy? Trading volume has dried up, and it still wants to break through?

The macro is so bullish but ETH is still hesitating... I really can't hold it anymore
---
It's that kind of "should rise but doesn't" torment again, it feels like Bitcoin is about to take off while ETH is still pounding on the iron gate
---
2935 is consolidating again and again, even the indicators are falling behind... Will it break 3000 this time, everyone?
---
Basically, it's waiting for confirmation, either break through 3000 to prove it's in sync with the trend, or retest support and start over
---
It feels like my ETH position is just there to add to the market's frustration

The macro environment is so bullish, but ETH is still hesitating. Come on, it's time to break through again.

With such a warm macro environment, ETH is still dragging its feet, I'm really speechless.

All the macro positive news has arrived, but ETH is still dragging its feet here. Something's up.

The macro warmth has returned, but ETH just refuses to cooperate; this gap is truly outrageous.

It's the same old story of "wait for a few K-lines," always saying that, but in the end, it's just sideways trading.
---
If you can't break 3000, don't be reckless; with this volume, who dares to chase?
---
The front line of risk assets? Probably the front-line base is under attack.

U.S. Treasuries are stable, so cryptocurrencies should rise. I've heard this logic so many times, but unfortunately, the coin price shows no shine.

The macro environment is so great, but ETH is still dragging its feet. I'm really stunned.
Wait, is this an opportunity for us to set up?
2935 stubbornly holding, whoever breaks first wins.
I'm a bit worried about the lack of volume...
Let's see how it performs next week; it feels like a change is coming.
Breaking this level must be accompanied by volume, otherwise it's all fake.
