$ETH rallying on a short-term breakout—it's now up to 2733.49, with a daily intraday move of +5.91%. What I care about most isn’t the size of the pump itself; it’s whether there’s enough pullback/holding power at the high level. ETH current price is 2733.49, and the 24-hour increase is about 5.9%. The current trend shows a clear squeeze-driven upswing. Open interest over the past 24 hours has risen 8.39%, as it approaches a key resistance level where the market is last testing before a decision.
My core view: I’m going to short—this is a counter-trend micro-position battle built on an extreme defensive level. When retail starts chasing price, the 72-hour long/short ratio drops sharply by 11.2%, suggesting that large capital may be quietly distributing near resistance and constructing a short-side defense. This provides an excellent left-side top-testing opportunity with an attractive risk/reward.
Macro picture: Market sentiment is extremely greedy, and the index is at 70. Bitcoin has broken to a new high above $85,000, creating a strong tailwind effect—US stock index futures are higher, and macro risk assets are in full-on celebration. Institutions are also showing large inflows: recently there’s been about $75 million in fresh “real money,” and overall macro liquidity is overwhelmingly bullish. Counter-trend shorting therefore carries a very high risk.
Location and larger timeframe: Price has held above the 20-period moving average on the 1-hour chart (2676). The higher-timeframe long structure is unchanged. After a strong rebound, price is about to test the core resistance at 2748.60, so there may be a short-term technical need for mean reversion.
Trading plan: I choose to short. Let me warn again: this is a small-position counter-trend risk/reward test, and the larger timeframe has not turned bearish. Entry zone: 2719.82 to 2748.60. You must place the entry near the upper edge close to 2748.60 resistance—absolutely no early positioning at the lower edge of the range. Strict stop-loss at 2762.34. If the 1-hour candlestick body breaks upward and closes above this level to confirm resistance turning into support, you must exit immediately. First target: 2568.11. Second target: 2488.13. Right now aggressive buy pressure is strong—counter-trend shorting can easily be punished by a brutal short squeeze. Strict risk control is a must.
The above is purely my personal opinion. I share trading thoughts every day—feel free to follow and exchange ideas.
