$ETH Crypto academician: 7.18 Ethereum (ETH) life-or-death swings! Will key range selection trigger a new round of market action? Latest market analysis reference

　　
　　Ethereum’s current price is 1840. Most of the time, the market is range-bound and washing out liquidity; genuine trend opportunities are few. At 1835, the price sits in a typical north-south tug-of-war trap: the main players sweep stops back and forth and clean out retail chips. Whether you blindly chase longs or shorts, you’ll most likely get harvested. Many people are always in a rush to prove right or wrong when trading; they want to make money on every trade, yet they don’t understand how to choose and they can’t read the market. Trading is inherently a probability game; there are no 100% winning trades. What we can do is seize opportunities with a high risk-reward ratio, strictly use stop-losses, and take positions with light size—hold your northbound chips
　　
　　On the daily chart, price is in a low-position rebound phase within a southbound trend. It’s trading above EMA15 and around EMA30, with early signs that the short-term moving averages are turning from south to north. In the MACD, the DIF is above the DEA, and the red histogram continues to expand, showing that northbound momentum is recovering. In the Bollinger Bands, the midline is 1755, the upper band is 1948, and the lower band is 1563. Price is currently above the midline, with clear support below. The Fibonacci 78.6% retracement at 2242 is still a strong resistance. Current 1835 is in the repair mid-stage of the decline wave from 1503 to 4957, so the overall southbound trend hasn’t been fully reversed
　　
　　On the four-hour chart, the market has formed a small-scale rebound channel in the short term. Price has reclaimed the area around EMA15 and EMA30. The moving averages have shifted from sticking together to curling upward, and the northbound alignment begins to show. In MACD, DIF and DEA are about to form a dead cross; the red histogram shortens, indicating reduced northbound momentum in the short run. The Bollinger Bands are currently tightening: the midline is 1877, the upper band is 1938, and the lower band is 1817. Price is clearly suppressed by the midline. Fibonacci 23.6% support remains effective, while 38.2% is strong short-term resistance. 1835 is positioned in the middle of the range—direction choice is imminent
　　
　　Short-term reference:
　　
　　If the downside 1820 to 1790 does not break and holds northbound, set stop-loss at 1760; targets are 1880 to 1920
　　
　　If the upside 1920 to 1960 does not break and holds southbound, set stop-loss at 1990; targets are 1880 to 1830
