ETH High-altitude Strategy: Keep an eye on 2285, the Gate of Ghosts. Don't pick up bloodied chips.

The tea has cooled, brew another pot. Still cinnamon—this tea must be drunk with dominance.

Just now, a friend who does physical business, Old Zhang, came to drink tea. He used to drive a Panamera and do frozen pork business—undoubtedly the big brother. Today, he’s driving a broken Volkswagen, sighing as he enters.

I asked, what's wrong?
He said, I got wrecked. Two years ago, pork prices plummeted. He thought the bottom was in, mortgaged his property to stock up, trying to gamble on a big rebound. And what happened? There’s a basement under the floor, and beneath the basement, there’s hell. He didn’t die because of no money; he died from overconfidence—always thinking he could touch the market’s bottom.

After seeing Old Zhang off, I opened the $ETH K-line chart. As I looked, a chill ran down my spine.

In this chart, it’s all “Old Zhang.”
From over 3300, it’s been falling straight down, not even a decent splash of water in the middle. What does this mean? It means the bulls have no power to fight back. Would you buy the dip now? It’s like Old Zhang hoarding pork on the hillside—thinking he’s getting a bargain, but the big players see you as a target.

Price is stuck at 2250, hesitating. Many retail traders are tempted, thinking it won’t fall further and it’s time to enter. Naive. Look at the volume—like it’s out of breath. No volume to stop the fall? That’s a trap set by the big players. This kind of trend is the most insidious; it doesn’t rush to kill you. It uses small rebounds to lure you in, making you keep adding positions, only to finally cut your meat with a dull knife. The big players don’t want your life; they want your despair.

When Old Zhang left, he said one thing: “Respect the trend, don’t be a hero.” I pass this message to you.

【Trading Strategy】
📉 Main direction: Shorting
Don’t expect a rebound—that’s for the experts. If you try to catch it, you’ll choke.

🎯 Entry point:
Watch the 2285 - 2300 zone.
This was the previous “Gate of Ghosts.” If the price rebounds here but can’t move up (for example, with a long upper shadow), I’ll short.

🛑 Stop-loss: 2342
Why set it here? If the big players can really push the price above 2342, it means this downtrend is broken or the big players have gone crazy. We don’t play with crazy people. Cut losses and exit, bow to the market—no shame.

💰 Take-profit:
First target: 2220, lock in profits.
Second target: 2165 (the previous low).
If it breaks below the previous low, the scene becomes too beautiful—I dare not look.

⚠ About betting on a rebound:
I know some are itching to believe this is the bottom. If you really can’t resist, go lightly around 2180, with a stop at 2140.

But I must remind you: you’re here to make money, not to prove you’re smarter than the market.

Old Zhang, before going bankrupt, also thought he understood the pig cycle. In this market, anyone who believes they’ve found the “bottom” usually ends up with only ashes left.
