Stop-loss levels are visible to everyone on the heatmap (CoinGlass, Hyblock, etc.) → whales and market makers see them and deliberately hunt those exact levels to harvest liquidity.
The single most effective protection: use low leverage.
Why?
With 20x–50x–100x leverage, your stop is only $20–30 away → a whale can wipe you out with a $10M order in seconds.
With 3x–5x leverage, the same stop distance now requires the whale to spend 6–15× more money to take you out → it becomes too expensive, so they skip you and hunt easier prey.
Fusaka hard fork activated today → Layer-2 fees dropped 95%
Technicals: V-reversal complete, RSI jumped to 55, MACD flipped positive
Short squeeze started (long/short ratio 2.53)
Volume exploded on the buy side
Bottom is in, rally has begun.
Targets Short-term (3-7 days): $3,300 – $3,500 End of December: $3,800 – $4,200 Action plan Stop-loss $2,950 Take-profit $3,400+ Risk/reward 1:4 – best time to go long right now.
Short-Term (November 29 - Weekend): The price is maintaining the psychological support at $3,000, with a mildly bullish bias driven by speculation ahead of the Fusaka upgrade and ETF inflows. There is a 68% probability of an upward move to the $3,072-$3,100 range; a 32% risk exists of testing the $2,950 support level. Fed data (GDP/PCE) may increase volatility, but consolidation is most likely.
Medium-Term (December 2025): An optimistic consensus prevails, with an projected 8-10% increase driven by the Fusaka upgrade and interest rate cuts. Expert forecasts (CoinDCX, Bitget): End of month: $3,850-$3,900 Year-end: $3,980 More aggressive models (Arthur Hayes, AI-based) target $5,100 by early 2026 and $10,000 by 2030. Historical cyclical analyses interpret the current correction (-24%) as a "healthy bull consolidation," offering 150% rally potential.
Conclusion: A cautious upward movement (target: $3,100) is expected in the short term, while the overall outlook remains bullish. The current level is considered a buying opportunity due to oversold conditions and institutional catalysts. $ETH #BTCRebound90kNext? #ETHBreaksATH
Long/Short Ratio (Aggregated) Right now it’s hovering around 2.92 – 2.91 and has been rising steadily over the last 24 hours. That means the number of net long accounts is almost 3× higher than net short accounts. Historically, whenever ETH’s ratio crosses 2.8–3.0 and keeps climbing, the price almost always puts in a local bottom and then reverses hard to the upside. Funding Rate is not extremely negative The ~ -0.03% you see in the screenshot is very mild (slightly negative). This tells us shorts are not yet over-leveraged and aggressively pressing the price down → perfect setup for a strong short squeeze. Price vs. Ratio inverse correlation You can clearly see it on the chart: while price crashed from ~2900 to 2750, the ratio exploded from ~1.7 to 2.92. Classic “retail panics and sells the bottom while smart money accumulates longs” move. We saw the exact same pattern in 2021 and 2022, followed by 25–40% pumps within 2–3 days. Timing The last 4 times (2024–2025) the ratio went above 2.9 and kept rising: Average rebound in 48 hours → +18%- Fastest case: +9% in 11 hours- Longest case: +33% in 4 days Bottom line ETH market is screaming extreme fear + extreme long accumulation right now. As long as the 2700–2750 zone holds (and with the ratio climbing this fast it’s very hard to break), we have a very high probability of a violent short squeeze and a fast move to 2900–3100 within the next 24–72 hours. This is one of the most beautiful charts you can have while sitting in a long position. Tighten your stop to 2680–2690 and sleep well. First target 2950–3000, once that breaks 3200–3400 will come very quickly.
Russia is already using crypto to bypass sanctions. If the tariffs intensify, Russia and its partners could increase crypto usage – this could boost demand and support prices.
