#夏日创作营 ETH Two key levels today: 1845 and 1900—break one and that’s the direction
Yesterday, ETH surged and once it hit the target level, it started range-trading at the highs—same familiar taste.
With this kind of move, there are only two outcomes next—either build up and break through, or lose momentum and pull back.
And today’s focus is precisely these two lines: 1845 and 1900.
First, the fundamentals: there’s some breathing room in the short term, but the medium term is still uncertain.
The Iran–U.S. conflict is still ongoing. But honestly, since both sides signed a memorandum of understanding, the market has basically become desensitized to it. Fight and talk at the same time—today you blow up a base, tomorrow I issue a statement—back and forth is just the same stuff, with no substantive new variables. Even if there are signs the U.S. is expanding the scale of the war recently, the market reaction has been quite muted. Everyone’s stance is consistent: see how it ends in the end—I’m watching, not betting.
On the other side, the U.S.’ recent economic data really doesn’t look great. What does that mean? The probability of a rate hike in July is now close to nil. Previously, ETH was kept down by rate-hike expectations; now that pressure has eased a bit, the price has also been able to catch its breath.
But there’s a catch. Investment bank forecasts are—another 25 basis-point hike in September or October, and that probability has already been priced in very heavily by the market. By December, it’s almost considered a done deal. So ETH’s situation is simple right now: in the short term, July hikes are off the table, so it can breathe. In the medium term, expectations for September hikes are still there pressing down, so institutions won’t step in aggressively at this time. A rebound is just a rebound, not a reversal.
Technical analysis: 1845 is today’s watershed
On the 4-hour timeframe, the uptrend for longs hasn’t fully played out. Earlier, when the pullback reached around 1813, it hit a very clear trend-strong support. After that, the rebound over the past two days has been reasonable. But the problem is—its upward push is too weak. Not that kind of breakout with expansion in volume and momentum, but more like creeping upward slowly, one step at a time. This way of trading can trigger a pullback at any time. The main resistance overhead is 1900–1924. This range is the key resistance for the mid-to-long term, not something a single small rebound can just power through.
Switch to the hourly chart: today’s long/short watershed is very clear—1845. If 1845 holds, longs still have a chance to probe higher toward 1900–1924. A break below 1845 means the short-term direction turns bearish directly—today’s script is decided by this line.
Trading strategy 1: short on the fade from a high
If price first spikes up, but then gets pushed back down in the 1900–1924 zone, you can try a short on the short term. Stop loss at 1927, target 1851. The logic is simple—1900–1924 is a hard top zone. If you can’t break through it in one push, odds are you’ll revisit it with a pullback.
Strategy 2: chase short on a breakdown
If the hourly chart breaks below 1845, don’t hesitate. Stop loss 1867. First target 1813; if it breaks, then look at 1773. In extreme cases, down to 1700. The logic is—1845 is the hourly long/short watershed. Once it’s lost, it means the short-term rising structure is broken, and downward room opens up.
Summary: as long as 1845 holds, the bias is mildly bullish short term, but 1900–1924 is the ceiling. Once 1845 breaks, direction turns bearish immediately, and you look for 1813 or even lower. To be honest, the most important thing to do at this position is—don’t fight the trend. When the key levels arrive and direction shows up, just follow it.

ETH surged yesterday and, after hitting the target area, it started consolidating in a high range—familiar taste.
With this kind of move, there are only two possible outcomes next—either build up energy for a breakout, or release it with a pullback.
And what you need to focus on today is these two lines: 1845 and 1900.
First, the fundamentals: there’s a bit of breath in the short term, but the medium term is still uncertain.
The Iran–US conflict is still ongoing. But honestly, since both sides signed a memorandum of understanding, the market has largely become desensitized to it. They fight while they talk—today you bomb a base, tomorrow I issue a statement—back and forth like that, with no real new variables. Even if there are signs recently that the U.S. may expand the scale of the war, the market reaction has been rather muted. Everyone’s stance is pretty consistent: whatever the final outcome is, I’ll wait and see—I’m not making a bet.
On the other side, recent U.S. economic data hasn’t looked great. So what does that mean? The probability of a rate hike in July is now next to none. Previously, ETH was being held down by rate-hike expectations, but this pressure has eased a bit, and the price has caught its breath.
But there’s a catch. Investment bank projections are—25 bps hike in September or October, and that probability has already been priced very high by the market. By December, it’s practically considered a done deal. So ETH’s situation is simple right now: in the short term, July’s hike is off the table, so it breathes. In the medium term, expectations for the September hike are still there, keeping institutions from rushing in aggressively at this time. A rebound is just a rebound, not a reversal.
Technical analysis: 1845 is today’s line in the sand
On the 4-hour timeframe, the bullish trend hasn’t fully finished. Earlier, when price pulled back to around 1813, it hit a very clear trend-strong support. Then the rebound over the past two days also makes sense. But the problem is—there isn’t enough strength in the push upward. It’s not the kind of volume-led breakout momentum; it’s more like slowly grinding up. With this kind of path, a correction could come at any time. The main resistance overhead is 1900–1924. This range is a key resistance for the medium-to-long term; you can’t just clear it with a single small rebound.
Switch to the hourly chart: today’s bull–bear pivot is very clear—1845. If 1845 holds, the bulls still have a chance to push up toward 1900–1924. If 1845 breaks, the short-term direction flips directly to bearish—this one line decides today’s script.
Trade strategy one: short on a high and pullback
If price first pushes up, but gets pushed back down in the 1900–1924 zone, you can try a short on the short term. Stop loss at 1927. Target 1851. The logic is simple—1900–1924 is a hard-top zone. If you can’t break through it on the first try, a pullback is likely.
Strategy two: go short after a breakdown
If the hourly timeframe drops below 1845, don’t hesitate. Stop loss 1867. First target 1813; if that breaks, then look at 1773. In an extreme case, it could reach 1700. The logic here is—1845 is the hourly bull–bear line. Once it’s lost, it means the short-term upward structure is broken, and more room opens up to the downside.
Summary: as long as 1845 doesn’t break, the short term is bias bullish—but 1900–1924 is the ceiling. Once 1845 breaks, direction flips straight to bearish, with 1813 (or even lower) in view. Honestly, the most important thing at this level is—don’t fight the trend. When the key level is reached and the direction shows up, just follow.
