**Title:** How I Held ETH from 1,600 All the Way to 1,808 During This Surge

First, the result

From July 2 to July 5, ETH rose from 1,600 to 1,808, an increase of about 200 points (about 12%).
My long position was held the whole time, without exiting partway through.

It wasn’t luck—it was the structure that was in place.

Before the move, the structure already told me the answer

On July 2, on ETH’s daily chart, in the 1,550–1,570 range, long lower wicks kept appearing repeatedly.

It was hit near 1,550 three times in a row, and each time it was pulled back.

There is only one explanation for this: someone was accumulating below.

The real trigger came on July 3

On July 3, the ETH 4-hour chart formed a large, high-volume bullish candle. The body broke through 1,650, and the close held above that level.

Trading volume increased at the same time, and MA5 > MA20.
At that moment, I knew: the bulls had entered the market.

From 1,600 to 1,808, there were almost no meaningful pullbacks in between.
The lows of every 4-hour candlestick kept rising—this is the simplest trend judgment criterion.

The three hard conditions for this surge

1. Daily chart strong support validation: the 1,550–1,570 area was tested repeatedly and never broke
2. 4-hour volume-driven breakout: 1,650 was broken with a volume-backed bullish body
3. Pullbacks lacked strength: an uninterrupted climb, with no engulfing bearish candles

When all three conditions are met at the same time, the market naturally moves in that direction.

Why can’t most people hold on?

· Take profit after a few points
· Fear profits disappearing at even a slight retracement
· Seeing it rise makes them think, “It’s already too high”

This surge wasn’t driven by news—it was driven by structure.
Where the structure goes, the position gets held there.

How to look at it now?

ETH is currently consolidating around 1,771, with a high of 1,808 and a low of 1,747.

This is a consolidation structure after an uptrend, not a reversal.
As long as 1,740 isn’t broken, the bullish structure hasn’t been damaged.

Finally

The core of technical analysis isn’t predicting up or down—it’s identifying structure.
If you identify it correctly, the market will naturally push you along.

I held this one.
For the next wave, are you ready to hold it too?
