# Strip Away Emotion, Go Long at Low Prices: Today's ETH Script Is Already Written

This afternoon, I went fishing with Lao Zhao.

Lao Zhao started his career in bulk commodity trading. Over the past few years, countless competitors around him have gone under, yet he's thriving more than ever. He's living the most transparent life right now—holding tons of cash in hand, fishing every day.

I asked him: "Business has been so tough these past two years. How do you avoid all those pitfalls?"

He said: "It's simple. I don't believe in fate; I only believe in profits. How do most bosses go bankrupt? They develop emotional attachment to their own business model, they develop 'faith' in their own projects. They always think if they just persist, they'll win. They think heaven must treat them well. In the end, they lose everything, even their underwear."

He paused for a moment, staring at the water: "That's why in business, you must learn 'self-detachment.'"

I asked: "How do you detach?"

He said: "Faith is faith, making money is making money. These are two completely separate systems that must never be confused."

I followed up: "So what do you look at when making decisions?"

He laughed: "What do I look at? I look at who's giving away free eggs, and I go line up there. Places where there's no freebies to grab, I don't even bother looking."

Self-detachment.

Follow whoever gives out free eggs.

These two phrases are the coldest and most advanced survival techniques in the trading market. This applies to physical business, but even more so to trading.

Look at the crypto space right now—how many retail traders still see themselves as martyrs? One after another saying "Ethereum ecosystem is invincible," "Dencun upgrade will pump the price." You talk to them about risk-reward ratios, they talk to you about faith.

Looking at $ETH 's chart, the price has been stuck around 2120 for a whole day. The 2120 position is sitting right at the center axis of the entire wide-range oscillation box.

This is absolute junk time. Whales are using time to wear down your patience. Anyone constantly opening long or short positions at this level is just playing "faith games." Always thinking they can predict the whale's next move, always thinking the next second will bring a massive spike or crash. What's the result? Getting slapped from both sides, principal worn down to nothing.

Real pros won't even open their trading app at this level. We have zero faith in price movements; we only wait for that certain moment when "free eggs are being given away."

What are free eggs? The moment when others are desperately liquidating and handing over blood-soaked chips.

Today's ETH script—only go long at low prices, set the trap:

**Tactical direction:** Low-price long ambush
**Ambush zones:** 2065-2078
**Hard stop loss:** 2035
**Staggered profit taking:** Position 1 at 2140 close half; Position 2 at 2190 full exit.

Lock in profits and leave—never fall in love with any coin.

Use faith to cultivate your mind, not to trade.

In this bloodthirsty meat grinder, you have to split yourself in two, completely separating emotion from execution.
