#Gate13周年现场直击 April 21, 2026, ETH Intraday Short Plan
Aggressive Short (Preemptive Trial, Avoid Missing Out)
Shorting Range: 2,440 – 2,480
Stop Loss: 2,520
Take Profit: 2,360 / 2,300
Logic:
When there is intraday high-level fluctuation, the first touch of resistance zones often leads to a pullback.
This is a preemptive short attempt, using a small stop loss to test if there is real selling pressure above, rather than directly betting on the top.
Conservative Short (Rally Follow-up)
Shorting Range: 2,520 – 2,600
Stop Loss: 2,660
Take Profit: 2,400 / 2,320
Logic:
If the aggressive short is broken, it indicates the price is still pushing higher, squeezing out the bears.
A higher position is more likely to form a genuine distribution zone, which is a better shorting opportunity.
Adding Positions Logic (Trend Amplification)
Condition: Break below 2,360 with no rebound strength
Add Position Range: 2,320 – 2,360
Target: 2,200 / 2,100
Logic:
Not about predicting the top in advance, but waiting for the market to confirm “it can’t go up anymore.”
This is a continuation of the downtrend, amplifying gains after the structure weakens.
Intraday Structure Judgment
Currently, the market is oscillating with a slight bullish bias → approaching a turning point to weakness, multiple tests of resistance above, if unable to break through → likely to turn into a decline.
Key Point:
No short unless it breaks → turn weak then short
Core Execution
Aggressive Order: Light trial
Conservative Order: Main position
Adding Positions: Confirm then amplify
Sequence:
Try first → Follow with more → Then amplify
Shorts are not about guessing the top, but waiting for the bulls to fail.
