On July 13, 2026, Ethereum (ETH) traded in a range near $1,820, down about 0.1% over the past 24 hours. The market is in a period of near-term decisive directional selection, and the following are the key points to watch:

📊 Key Levels and Patterns

· Short-term lifeline: $1,770** is the most important support right now. If it breaks, the next area to watch is **$1,700.** On the upside, $1,820 - $1,850 is a strong resistance zone; only a breakout with increased volume there can make the short term turn bullish.
· Potential double bottom: If a double bottom can form near $1,850 and break above the neckline, the theoretical target could be **$1,950 - $2,000**.

⚠️ Contradiction Between Bulls and Bears

· Near-term risk: The TD Sequential indicator has already issued a sell signal near $1,820, suggesting that pullback pressure is increasing.
· Smart money moves: A whale reportedly swapped about $25 million worth of ETH into BTC, betting that the ETH/BTC rate will likely fall in the short term.
· Key backdrop: Although ETH/BTC recently showed a “golden cross” and bottoming rebound, ETH is still below the 100-day and 200-day moving averages. At the daily level, the broader trend remains bearish, so this rebound can only be viewed as a temporary correction for now.

🧭 Strategy Reference for Today

· Aggressive short-term: Watch the $1,770** support level. If it holds, you can look for a rebound; but if a pullback rallies back to **$1,820-1,850** and gets rejected, you may consider shorting opportunities in the short term—set a stop loss.
· Conservative wait-and-see: Given current trading volume and an unclear direction, a safer approach is to wait for the price to break out above $1,850** or drop below** $1,770 with a clear direction before following.
· ETH/BTC rate: If it can hold the recent rebound momentum, it would be a positive signal for the overall altcoin market trend. #以太坊
