Market Situation: A Dilemma of "Being Trapped"



ETH is currently oscillating around 3170, with the mid-range position feeling a bit awkward.

On the surface, it looks good: the 15-minute K-line shows a MACD golden cross, and trading volume has increased, signaling a potential market rally. But what is the reality? This is merely a technical rebound from the previous low of 3123.

The real dilemma lies in the fact that the key levels at 3200 and 3220 are filled with trapped chips. Retail investors think that the main force will soften and help them get out, but that’s not the case at all. Every time prices approach these levels, selling pressure emerges.

What is the true intention behind this rebound? It’s to transfer those chips that didn’t escape near 3300 to new entrants hoping for a rebound. BNB and XRP are experiencing similar rhythms. Don’t be fooled by the 15-minute golden cross — the market’s harsh reality is far deeper than you think.
ETH-0.91%
BNB0.55%
XRP-2.25%

It's the same trick again—whales love to play like this—once a golden cross appears, new retail investors rush in to buy the dip.

Here comes the old trick of harvesting new investors again. Just see through it and not expose it.

It's the same old trick again. I'm already tired of the selling pressure at 3200. Do they really think retail investors are all fools?

It's the same trick again, the big players are just relying on this rebound to harvest the retail investors.

It's the same old trick again; the big players never hold back when it comes to cutting leeks.

From a technical perspective, there are several points in this article that are worth discussing. First, the MACD golden cross combined with increased volume indeed constitutes a positive technical signal, but the author's outright negation of its significance seems overly absolute—according to relevant research data, the effectiveness of such signals depends on the overall trend framework rather than isolated judgment. Second, regarding the phrase "main force softening," it is essentially a naive understanding of the market microstructure, ignoring the complexity of order book depth changes. Investors are advised to refer to the discussion on price formation mechanisms in "Market Microstructure Theory," which may provide a deeper understanding. In summary, relying solely on short-term technical analysis for decision-making carries significant risks.
