Based on the recent market fluctuations, each key resistance level has shown a clear pullback phenomenon, which also validates the previous judgment that resistance is mainly a pullback. The current market trend indeed creates opportunities for short positions.

Regarding Ethereum, starting from a short at 3189, there have already been quite a few gains. Additional positions can be added at 3258 and 3305, with a stop at 3340. If a pullback occurs, aggressive long opportunities are at 3135, while conservative traders can wait for lower support levels, such as around 3096 and 3063, with a final stop below 3050.

The logic for Bitcoin is similar. All resistance levels have also confirmed pullbacks. The current strategy is mainly to take small short positions; chasing longs is not recommended. Additional entries can be considered at 94500, with a stop-loss at 95000. For aggressive long entries after a pullback, look at 91800, while conservative traders can wait for confirmation at support levels 91288 and 90300. The final stop is below 89500.

An important reminder: during pullbacks, the main approach should still be to focus on long positions. From the daily chart perspective, the bullish trend remains intact, which is the overall context for our operations.

The pressure levels have all fallen through, and the bears do have a chance, but I still think this pullback will give the bulls an opportunity. Wait, you say the daily bullish trend is still intact? Then why do I feel like it's going to crash further? This logic is a bit hard to hold up. The short position at 3189 indeed made a profit, but greedy traders always die on the last K-line. Could it be the same this time? Entering the market is easy; surviving is hard. Light positions for shorting are much more reliable than chasing longs. I'll wait and see at 3096; rushing in too quickly can easily get you into trouble.

Hmm... This wave has indeed broken through all the resistance levels, looks comfortable --- The short positions are already in the money, just waiting to see if the pullback can reach the target --- Again, light short positions, waiting for a pullback to go long. It's stable, but a bit torturous --- If the 3050 and 89500 levels hold, the bulls still have a chance --- Always talking about mainly going long, but holding only short positions. You guys really know how to play --- The obvious pullback from the resistance levels is indeed the time for shorts to strike --- So many support levels, it feels like a trap set for the aggressive guys --- May I ask, how long has this logic gone without failing? --- The daily chart is still bullish, I've been hearing this for a month --- Buy on pullback, stay short if no pullback, anyway, it seems like there's profit either way

tbh the reversal logic here checks out... been teaching my students this exact playbook for months, and seeing it actually play out in real-time is *chef's kiss*. the layering approach across support levels is textbook risk management

Yeah, this round actually has some substance. The resistance levels are being broken one by one. Brothers who shorted at 3189 should be smiling, but in the end, we still need the bulls to confirm.

ngl, another "i called the dip" post... classic pattern recognition theater. you nailed the pullback but let's see if those support levels actually hold or if we're in for another one of those "oopsie moments" 🤔

The resistance levels have indeed fallen one by one, and my short positions are laughing happily.

Panic buying this set of logic is indeed effective, but it's easy to chase highs and get cut. This move from 3189 shorting feels really good, but I still think it doesn't need to be so complicated; being simple and straightforward might last longer. On the BTC side, I always feel the stop-loss is set too tight, only a 500-point buffer from 94500 to 95000, is that psychological preparation enough? Wait, wasn't the bullish trend supposed to be confirmed? Why are you entering short positions with small positions again? That's a bit contradictory. Steady trading sounds great, but in reality, it's just waiting to get trapped.

Bro, the recent pullback at the resistance level is really intense. I've been confident in this approach for a while. It's the same familiar setup—bears eat the meat, bulls drink the soup. It all depends on who can hold on. Those who entered at 3189 should be laughing their heads off. I also took a small position on my side. The bullish trend is still there, I love hearing that. But in the end, it still depends on confirming the bottom. Wait a minute, can 3050 really hold? It feels like this time it might be a bit risky.

The resistance levels are indeed all falling, it looks like the bears are a bit fierce, but as long as the daily chart remains bullish, I won't panic. Oh, it's that same logic of resistance and pullback again, feels like I say this every time? I've already taken profit on the short at 3189, but I still prefer to wait for 3135 or lower before entering again, for more stability. I agree with a light position short on Bitcoin; chasing longs is indeed easy to get caught out, so I’ll wait for support confirmation first. Honestly, this kind of market just keeps messing with people, feels like no matter how I operate, it's wrong. The daily bullish pattern is still holding, but I'm worried that a black swan could break the pattern directly, and then no one can save it.

A quick dip under pressure for a pullback, such an old trick, and some still believe it. --- Reasonable, let's see if we can catch the 3096 level before jumping in. --- Entering short with a light position sounds good, but I'm just worried that a turn might bring another big bullish candle. --- So many layers of support, it feels like just leaving an escape route for yourself. --- The daily chart is still bullish... then why be so cautious about shorting? It seems a bit contradictory. --- I like the 3050 support level, remember that for me. --- It's the same old story of resistance and support levels; no matter how the market moves, there's always an excuse.
