📉 ETH Short-Term Technicals (April 30)

The market is currently in a small-scale sideways range with a slight bearish bias. Although the price has not broken down, the rebound lacks strength; focus on whether the support zone below can hold.

Key Level Adjustments

• Resistance above: 2280–2300 (the former lower edge of the ranging platform; now turned into strong resistance)

• Near-term support: 2220–2230 (intraday previous low; if it breaks, the price will accelerate downward)

• Trend “life-or-death” line: 2180–2200 (the daily timeframe’s bull/bear line; an effective break below this level means the trend turns bearish)

2180 Break-Through Determination Standard

The “break below 2180” you mentioned is a key action. It’s recommended to strictly distinguish between a quick pierce and an effective breakdown to avoid being shaken out by a false breakout:

1. Price requirement: the hourly or 4-hour closing price < 2180 (not a fleeting wick).

2. Retest confirmation: after the breakdown, the rebound fails to get back above 2200.

3. Volume confirmation: the breakdown is accompanied by increased volume, confirming the bears’ momentum.

Scenario Simulation and Strategies

• Accumulation in consolidation (current): ranging between 2230–2280. Strategy: stay on the sidelines, or short in the upper part of the range, without over-chasing shorts.

• Breakdown triggers (if 2180 is lost): look for targets in the 2150–2100 area. Strategy: after a rebound reaches around 2200 and meets resistance, follow the move and short.

• Reversal risk (if support holds): in the 2180–2200 area, long lower wicks or a bullish divergence may appear. Strategy: close shorts and observe; don’t rush to buy the dip.
