Current price 2500, surged to 2515 then faced resistance and pulled back, indicating a high-level resistance and retracement. The overall trend remains bullish, but short-term is overbought, selling pressure is starting to release, making 2500 the short-term bull-bear dividing line.
Key levels:
Resistance: 2515-2530, strong resistance at previous high 2550
Support: 2470-2480 (first support); strong support at 2440

Contract Trading Strategy
Long (with trend, do not chase at current price)
1. Conservative: Buy lightly after a pullback to 2470-2480 zone and a 15-minute candle closes showing a halt in decline; stop loss below 2435; first target 2515-2530, with volume breakout aiming for 2550.
2. Aggressive: After volume confirms holding above 2530, add small position; stop loss at 2495; target above 2550.

Important condition: If price closes below 2440, short-term bullish logic fails, stop going long.

Short (only short on rebound resistance, no trend reversal considered)
If rebound stalls in 2515-2530 zone with a long upper shadow candle, try small short; stop loss at 2545; targets first 2480, then 2460.
If volume breaks above 2530, exit short immediately, do not hold the position.

Personal bias
Mid-term trend is bullish. Currently, after a high surge and pullback, opening a position at 2500 is not cost-effective. Prefer to wait for a pullback to support or confirmation of an upward breakout before acting.

You're right. If BTC is weak, it will be difficult for ETH to rise on its own; the correlation risk should be taken seriously.

Although bullish, opening a position at 2,500 is indeed not worthwhile; waiting for confirmation on the right side is safer.

This analysis is even more thorough than my homework, but I still choose to lie flat and hold my coins.

Every high-level oscillation like this is just a fake breakout; not trading is a win.

The 2,500 level is indeed an awkward position: chasing higher risks getting trapped, while waiting for a pullback risks missing out. Better to keep your hands off.

Keep holding spot and don’t touch it; whatever you do, don’t take a large position in futures—when BTC drops, ETH follows more fiercely than anything else.

Bro, your analysis is spot-on, but the market has a way of humbling everyone. I’ll just watch from the sidelines.

Personally, I think you can try going long if it pulls back to 2475, with a stop-loss at 2435; take half off first at 2500.

Conservatively, waiting to go long near 2470 seems reasonable—but will you dare when it hits?

I’d only dare to take a small short above 2530, with a stop-loss at 2545. The risk-reward ratio is decent.
