【After one week watching ETH, I found the most common mistake retail traders make】
They just stare at the percentage moves, as if green and red numbers can explain everything.
Come on, let’s look at the data: ETH is currently 2504, up 8.1% over the past 7 days, and up 1.4% in the last 24 hours. Looks great, right? A lot of retail traders see this and get excited, thinking a bull market is back.
But look more closely: what’s the 24-hour trading volume? Has it exceeded 5% of market cap? Any sign that resistance at 2609 is seeing increased volume?
The answer is: no to all of it.
That’s what I mean by "direction selection is approaching"—the price has pushed up by 8%, but volume hasn’t kept up, which is a classic case of "rising on shrinking volume." Retail traders rush in when they see a bullish candle; when the big players see this signal, they know it’s time to shake out.
This week also had something many people overlooked: ETH developers proposed a draft for quantum-resistant staking. This won’t affect the price in the short term, but I have to say this: ETH is laying the groundwork for its long-term security. What does it mean? It means big-money holders will have even more confidence in holding ETH. You think this is just a technical upgrade? No—this is building business confidence.
What about the ETF side? On this wave of inflows, Bitcoin spot funds have brought in 2.8 billion dollars, and the Ethereum ETF is following in sync every day. The liquidity picture is fine, but the issue is: there are still 3 trading days left—whether this month can become the best month since October 2025 depends on what happens these three days.
My view hasn’t changed: the consolidation isn’t over yet. Next week, watch two things: first, whether the resistance zone at 2600–2610 can break out with volume; second, whether the pace of net ETF inflows will slow down. The first determines direction, and the second determines momentum.
Honestly, I didn’t make any prediction mistakes this week, because I didn’t actually make predictions—I only said, "direction selection is approaching; pay attention to trading volume." That’s the truth, not hindsight.
The market’s lesson for us is always the same: don’t be fooled by candlesticks—what deceives people is trading volume and fund flow.
After this consolidation, do you think ETH will break upward or continue to churn? #ETH #加密分析 #SOL #Market Insights
