On July 26, 2026, Ethereum (ETH) is in a bearish range-bound consolidation, with the price hovering around $1,880. The market is waiting for next week’s FOMC meeting to get guidance.

The current key battle range is $1,835 - $1,905. Overall, the strategy is mainly to short on bounces, cautiously go long on dips, and strictly control position risk.

📊 Key levels to watch

· Upper resistance (shorting zone): $1,890 - $1,905 (4-hour moving average pressure; short first choice); $1,913** (bull-bear pivot; if the breakout fails, price continues to fall);** $1,950 (critical threshold for a trend reversal).
· Lower support (stabilization zone): $1,835 - $1,850 (key defense line short-term); $1,810 - $1,820 (strong mid-term support; if broken, downside space opens up); $1,749 - $1,760 (ultimate line of defense).

💡 Today’s strategy and risk control

· Main strategy (short on bounces): If the price rebounds into the $1,890 - $1,905 range, you can lightly try a short. Set a stop-loss above $1,925. Targets are $1,850 and $1,835.
· Secondary strategy (low leverage long): If it retraces to $1,835 - $1,840 and stabilizes, you can lightly bet on a rebound. Set a stop-loss at $1,820. Target $1,878. Note that taking longs against the trend requires strictly light positioning.
· Weekend special reminder: Current buy/sell order flow is severely imbalanced (sell pressure dominates). Contract funding rates have remained negative, with shorts taking control. Combined with weak weekend liquidity, needle-like spikes are prone to occur. Use limit orders, close positions before 22:00, and avoid holding overnight.

In short, before price breaks out with volume above $1,913, any rebound is a short opportunity. If $1,835 support breaks, it may trigger accelerated selling. #以太坊
