Ethereum Afternoon Technical Scan: How to Play in the 3280-3250 Region?

The afternoon market showed a reversal signal. Ethereum hit a tough spot between $3280 and $3250—an obvious resistance zone, which could be a good opportunity for short positions.

From a candlestick perspective, several details are worth noting. On the 4-hour chart, the moving average combination has already turned bearish, and there is clear selling pressure around the $3300 level. The bearish pattern left after yesterday’s high has still been in effect, which usually indicates room downward—initially targeting $3150, and if that breaks, then $3100.

What’s the safer way to operate?

• Gradually enter short positions: place orders around $3280-$3250
• Profit target: $3100
• Risk stop-loss: clear positions if above $3350

The shakeout in the early morning has already validated the market’s volatility. Once a rebound reaches $3280 and holds above $3300, the bearish logic needs to be reassessed. For short-term traders, position management is the top priority—capturing the rhythm of shorting at high levels is key.
