Everyone is asking: Can we still trust ETH?

Right now, Gate.io is showing ETH’s real-time price: $2291.

Don’t rush to look at the K线—I know what you’re thinking: you have a position, but you don’t know whether to stay or leave.

Let’s first talk about the most loudly promoted “good news” right now:
Bitmine has staked an additional 113,800 ETH, bringing total staked value to $8.76 billion.
The ETF has seen net inflows for 9 straight days—institutions are buying!
In the RWA sector, ETH accounts for 65%. On-chain stablecoins worth 16.8 billion are waiting to be used.

Sounds great, right?

But the real chart won’t lie to you:
In the past 24 hours, $345 million was liquidated—both longs and shorts were wiped out.
$2264 is the last line of defense in the daily chart channel. Once it’s broken, the next stop is directly $2070.
The ETH/BTC pair keeps weakening, and big funds simply don’t care about us.

So what are you hesitating about?
The good news is real—less staking means less selling pressure, and RWA locks up liquidity. These are all real, tangible gains.
But the risks are even more real—macro sentiment is decoupling. The Federal Reserve won’t cut rates, and all the money has run to gold and US Treasuries.
The volatility index EVIX has surged to 62. A big shakeout could come at any time.

What makes people even more uneasy is this—
The market is rising, but ETH isn’t. Bitcoin’s market share is still increasing, and funds are seeking safety. At this point, who dares to hold a big position with confidence?

My bottom-line way of thinking:
$2264—this level must absolutely not be broken on a closing (real) basis.
If it holds, this is a golden pit—the institutions’ chip accumulation zone.
If it can’t hold, everything below is water; $2070 and even $1920 are in sight.

Real trading strategy (clear-headed version):

Long positions:
Only take a light long entry in the $2264–$2280 zone.
Targets: $2350, $2400.
Stop-loss: $2245. If it breaks, you must leave—don’t hold on to it.
Position size: 30% of your usual position size.

Short positions:
If a rebound meets resistance at $2370–$2400, flip and short.
Targets: $2300, $2260.
Stop-loss: $2430.
Note: $2400 is the triple-top neckline—without a volume-backed breakout, every rally is a trap.

Finally, one last question for everyone:
If tonight’s US stock market opens and keeps getting smashed, would you dare to place an order at $2260 to catch the needle—or will you wait until $2070?
