$ETH three periods in a row just lie flat. The trend line already slapped the downside tag right across the face—bulls can’t even squeeze out a single daily bullish candle. This consolidation is not building energy; it’s surrender. A week of falling candles has cumulatively pushed it close to two percentage points, with momentum frozen and acceleration at zero. Price is sticking to the short-term upper range, yet it can’t break through even half a step. Every bullish counterattack gets swallowed back to where it started. On the futures side,主动 sell orders have pressed past buy orders; the active buy book has shrunk by more than 20% again after seven hours. Even derivatives are helping the shorts count money. This setup is just short of one bearish candle to set off the signal.
