Recently, Ethereum's recent surge looks very fierce, but upon closer inspection, something seems off—the short positions' liquidation volume is 22 times higher than the longs. This explains why the rebound was so strong. The question is, how long can this unbalanced situation last?
From market sentiment, 57% of accounts have turned bullish, which is already at a historical high. Usually, this signals that the market needs to cool down.
On the technical side, it's more straightforward: the 3036 level is under immense pressure, and every rebound to this point has been firmly suppressed. Looking downward, two key levels are critical—2915 is short-term support; if it breaks, then watch 2785. If 2785 also breaks, it’s no longer just consolidation but the start of a trend decline.
The golden rule of the market is: most people are most optimistic at turning points. The current hype is high enough; the next step is to consider strategic positioning.
Speak with data, find nodes with logic—that's the correct way to trade.

Shorts liquidated 22 times? That data seems a bit outrageous, feels like the rebound could turn back at any moment.

Whether 3036 breaks or not is the key; it feels like we're about to see the same "big V calling the shots" show again.

The 22x liquidation margin difference, this data really needs to be analyzed carefully. The rebound is strong, but after getting stuck at 3036 so many times, it's really hard to break through.

Can 3036 really break through? I think it's uncertain. Given the intense historical resistance, we should be cautious.

Isn't this the position where I bottomed out last time... When 3036 was held down, I went all-in. Now it seems like a reverse indicator, the main indicator.
Shorts liquidated 22 times so aggressively, but I feel like the next second it will be the longs' turn. History always loves to play us like this.
57% bullish? Alright, time to run. My experience is that when most people are optimistic, I need to line up at the ATM. No exception this time.
Once 2785 is broken, we will start a new round of "learning opportunities." Are all comrades ready for the battle damage statistics?

Here we go again with the rebound trap, every time warning but then it reverses and surges. I'm done.
57% bullishness is really unbelievable. It's probably time to sell.
If 3036 can't be broken, I'll keep grinding. I bet 3036 will explode.

If 3036 can't be broken, it's a pump-and-dump. Don't cry then.

3036 is back again, dying here every time... really getting on my nerves.

3036 has been pressed down so many times, can it really break through this time? It's a bit uncertain.
Shorts forced to close positions 22 times... this data is a bit outrageous, the rebound is indeed abnormal.
57% bullish, holy crap, should I run now?
2785 is the true bottom, betting 5 dollars on a retracement.
This is a typical high emotional point, I bet it will decline in the next month.
Fierce as it is, this gap will eventually be filled.
The bulls have gone crazy, I’ll hide for now.
Why are there always rebound traps, causing people to lose everything?
Wait, if 3036 can’t be broken, how should I operate?
The historical high is the ceiling, listen to me, I’m right.
