Recently, friends have been asking: "I'm fully invested and feeling anxious, but I'm afraid of missing out if I stay on the sidelines. Adding positions might get me caught in a trap. What should I do?" Frankly, the crux of this market cycle hinges on Ethereum's awkward position at 3150. I understand this mindset—who doesn't want to jump in before the trend starts, yet also doesn't want to be the one caught holding the bag. But I have to be honest: **Indecision is the real killer for retail investors**. Instead of wavering back and forth, it's better to master the correct approach to entering the market.

Why is 3150 so critical? From a technical perspective, this is the last line of defense for the bears, and also the breakout point for the bulls to open an upward channel. Currently, the daily, 4-hour, and 1-hour charts are all showing synchronized bullish structures, which in technical terms is called an "A-level signal." Sounds promising, but here’s the problem—this signal just happens to appear near a resistance level, meaning the outcome hinges on this moment, with both risk and reward at maximum.

Therefore, the key mindset needs to shift: don’t try to guess the direction, but **wait for confirmation**. For Ethereum to break above 300 points and trigger a bullish trend, it must hold above the critical daily level of 3178. The details are important—it's not about a quick intraday breakout, but waiting for the 1-hour or 4-hour candlestick to close firmly above 3178. It’s like confirming the market has truly turned, rather than a false move. The first entry point is after this breakout is confirmed and a pullback occurs. Real opportunities are always reserved for those with patience.
