$ETH #ETH Let the conclusion be first: if it can’t be reclaimed at 2,466.3, then you need to continue defending 2,405.97. Current price: 2,441.6; 1-hour: -0.04%, 24-hour: -3.07%.

With the 1-hour at -0.04% and 24-hour at -3.07%, the two cycles have not yet formed sufficiently clear coordinated movement in the same direction. In a range-bound market, the tolerance for chasing or selling aggressively is low. It’s more suitable to confirm direction with the upper boundary, and confirm follow-through with the lower boundary holding; the midline is only a line that distinguishes strength and weakness.

For the short term, first watch whether 2,405.97 can form continuous support, and then whether 2,466.3 can be reclaimed again. The former determines whether the selloff can slow down; the latter determines whether the rebound can strengthen. Without confirmation of both, it’s not advisable to judge opportunities based only on the magnitude of the drop.

There are three ways the next path can be handled: if price effectively holds above 2,526.64, wait for a pullback that doesn’t break and then reassess whether the trend can continue; if price breaks down through 2,405.97, prioritize controlling risk and wait for new support; if it keeps oscillating around 2,466.3, treat it as a range turnover and don’t repeatedly chase a direction from the middle of the range.

For those who already hold positions, the key is to manage based on whether support is invalidated—not to be carried away by every fluctuation. For those with no positions, first prioritize waiting for a breakout with a retest or for support confirmation. For spot, you can scale in batches; for futures/derivatives, you should shorten the decision chain—first set the stop-loss level, then decide whether to participate.

Simplifying the conclusion doesn’t mean simplifying risk control. When executing, you still need to wait for price confirmation and leave room to exit if your judgment proves wrong. The market will ultimately validate your viewpoint with price action. Do you think the most critical right now is a breakout at 2,526.64, or defending 2,405.97? Let’s track the results together.
