🔥ETH long-vs-short standoff: Is the new low a trap or an opportunity?

Seeing the comment section full of bearish sentiment, I’m actually even more certain—here, I choose to be a lone long-side leader.

From 1848 to 1772, yes, a new low has been made. But is the price action really as weak as it looks? Everyone should study the chart carefully: that dense box-like structure on the left isn’t just for show.

Two points must be made clear here:

1. Boxes are the battlefield—this range is an order-dense zone built by real buy-and-sell orders from both longs and shorts, and it’s a strong support area. Since there hasn’t been an effective breakdown through the front part by a real-bodied K-line, it’s difficult for the shorts to push deeper and continue the drop in one go.

2. Range-bound action = building energy—right now the market is in a disorderly fluctuation phase, not a continuation of a trend. In this situation, chasing shorts can easily get you whipsawed back and forth, and the cost-effectiveness isn’t high.

As for my trading strategy, it’s very simple:

For those with no position: mainly observe; wait until the direction becomes clear before stepping in. This isn’t a good time to bet with a heavy position.
For those who already hold long positions: hold your position. As long as the bottom of the box hasn’t been broken by a real breakdown, be patient and wait for the rebound and corrective repair.

The market always finds its bottom amid despair, and moves forward while hesitating. When others are panicking, be one step more rational. For now, I’ll stick with what I said—most likely it will move upward.
