2026.07.12 Afternoon ETH/USDT short-term buy/sell levels

⚠️Risk warning: Crypto currency futures can swing extremely violently. The following levels are only technical references and do not constitute investment advice; strictly control leverage, and single-trade loss must not exceed 1% of the account.
Current price: $1,796. In the afternoon, the overall range-bound market is weak; there is strong sell pressure at 1,800 above.

I. Short positions (afternoon first approach, sell on rebounds under pressure)

1. First intraday resistance short (core short zone)
Entry range: 1,798–1,815
Stop loss: above 1,838
Target 1: 1,773; Target 2: 1,758
Logic: Intraday pivot midline + the upper end of the 24-hour range; multiple attempts to rally face pressure. If the afternoon rebounds into this zone and stalls, test the short.

2. Secondary strong resistance short (fallback for a big spike)
Entry range: 1,830–1,845
Stop loss: above 1,860
Target: 1,800 → 1,770
Logic: Dense long-term trapped-sell zone on the daily chart. If volume surges and price holds above 1,845, the short thesis is completely invalid—stop shorting.

II. Long positions (pullback to support for low-buys; light position, quick in and out)

1. Short-term first support long (steady low-buy zone)
Entry range: 1,770–1,778
Stop loss: below 1,755
Target: 1,798–1,810
Logic: 4-hour moving average support. In the afternoon, a pullback that prints long lower wicks with contracting volume and stabilization can set up longs.

2. Core defensive support long (deep pullback)
Entry range: 1,755–1,762
Stop loss: below 1,730
Target: 1,778 → 1,800
Logic: Intraday bulls’ lifeline. A valid break below 1,750 weakens the short-term upward structure—abandon all long positions.

3. Extreme bottom-catching long (for extreme selloff conditions)
Entry range: 1,728–1,735
Stop loss: below 1,710
Target: 1,760–1,780
⚠️If 1,728 is broken to the downside on high volume, downside room opens toward the 1,700 whole-number level—no bottom-catching.

III. Afternoon trading boundary and discipline

1. Neutral range: 1,778–1,798. No chasing trades; it’s easy to sweep losses in both directions—only trade near the top and bottom edges of the range.

2. Bull/bear pivot: If volume holds above 1,815, short-term longs are repaired; if it effectively breaks below 1,750, the trend turns bearish—sell on rebounds in line with the move.

3. Intermarket impact: The afternoon market follows Bitcoin’s volatility. Volatility increases around the pre-U.S. market—watch for sudden wick/pin events.

4. Hard rules: Do not hold against the position; do not add to a position at floating loss; when reaching take-profit, scale out in batches. After 20 points of profit, move the stop loss to break even.
