#Strategy加码BTC配置 💥 Ethereum faces a critical decision within the 57-point fluctuation range 💥



The market once again signals familiar chaos—the price is suppressed within a narrow trend zone from 3113 to 3170. The 4-hour chart still shows an upward trend, but the 1-hour chart is stuck in a range-bound pattern. Historically, such suppressed markets often lead to a violent unilateral move. The question is simple: will it break upward to gather strength, or is this the final trap for the bulls? Every candlestick seems to be influencing this answer.

**What to do at this stage? Boundary limit operations**

In this uncertainty, the only thing to focus on are these two boundary lines—3113 and 3170. Our trading will revolve around this range.

| Operation Direction | Entry Price | Stop Loss | First Target | Ideal Target |
|----------------------|--------------|------------|--------------|--------------|
| Long (Buy) | Around 3118 | 3108 | 3145 | 3160 |
| Short (Sell) | Around 3165 | 3175 | 3140 | 3120 |

**A key recommendation**: Prioritize going long, aligning with the upward momentum on the 4-hour level. But it must be emphasized—each trade's risk exposure should not exceed 1% of the account.

**Three bottom lines that must not be violated**

1. **Small positions are life-saving** — This kind of D-grade market often buries heavy traders. Max loss per trade must be controlled within 1%.
2. **Stop loss is the only shield** — 3108 (long stop loss) and 3175 (short stop loss) are critical levels. Once reached, exit without hesitation.
3. **Breakout means surrender** — If the price breaks above 3170 with volume, or falls below 3113, all previous strategies are invalid, and you must exit and observe.

**Next possible directions**

The price may continue to grind within this range, draining traders’ patience—at this point, the smartest move is to do nothing. Alternatively, it could break strongly above 3170, in which case waiting for a pullback to add a small position is advisable. Another possibility is a breakdown below 3113, with the next support around 3070.

**Final reminder**: When the market is unclear, holding no position is itself a smart trading decision. If you cannot strictly follow these principles, it’s better to give up on this wave. $ETH

57 points still dare to go long, this is the gambler's mentality, right? Better to stay flat and wait for a breakdown before acting. What are you gambling on? A 1% stop loss has already been eaten up. This wave of market movement is a bit sticky, feeling like waiting for bad news. Can 3108 really hold? I don't believe it. Bitcoin hasn't even moved up, what about Ethereum? Light position? I only have two options: heavy position and liquidation, haha. Break the level and leave immediately, let's see what happens next. Being flat won't lose money, this is the most reliable. Range-bound trading is the most annoying; I’ve already fallen asleep.

Here comes this set of boundary operations again. I think it's more comfortable to stay flat and out of the market.

It's the same situation again—market conditions where neither going long nor short makes money. It's better to just stay out of the market and relax.

Still stuck in the dead zone between 3113-3170. I hate this kind of market the most. Staying on the sidelines and watching the show is the way to go.

It's the same old trick again, holding no positions is the best, wait until it chooses a direction before talking.

57 points, I fell asleep. It's better to stay out of the market and wait for a breakout.

Still bouncing between 3113-3170. This market trend is really getting on my nerves. It's better to stay out of the market and sleep.

Damn, it's the same routine again. Every time they say a breakout and admit defeat, but last time I just did the same thing and got stopped out.
