Ladies and traders, let's review the ETH/USDT market now. In the past hour, the fluctuation range was 0.47%, dropping from around 3298 to 3283, triggering a pattern alert. Let's analyze what this consolidation really means.
**Neutral to Slightly Bullish Outlook** Since early morning, the price has been bouncing within the 3287-3326 range. It may seem a bit annoying with the oscillation, but a closer look at the daily chart structure shows no damage to the overall upward integrity, so the main trend remains bullish.
**What do multi-timeframe data say?** The daily chart is the most reliable. The ADX reading of 44.1 indicates a strong trend has been established. The key is +DI at 27.9 far exceeds -DI at 10.8, clearly showing bulls are in control. Market funds also support this—OBV continues to flow in, with a divergence of +299.1%, and the CMF at 0.087 indicates moderate capital inflow, suggesting large investors are quietly accumulating.
The 4-hour chart shows a mild bullish pattern. Although ADX is only 12.3, there's no need to worry; the CMF at 0.172 signals strong inflow, which is a positive sign. Conversely, the 1-hour and 30-minute charts show short-term bears have the upper hand—ADX at 29.5 and 41.1 respectively, with OBV indicating ongoing outflows. So, there is some short-term correction pressure. However, the multi-timeframe consistency score is 72.1%, indicating the overall rhythm remains bullish.
**Cross-Exchange Buying and Selling Power Comparison** This data is quite telling. Overall, buy orders dominate with an 65.2% to 34.8% ratio. The highest concentration of buy orders is on Binance, OKX, Gate, and KuCoin, with each exceeding 70%. Notably, KuCoin’s buy-sell ratio is 74% to 26%. While the price is moving downward, large funds are placing buy orders at key levels with strong willingness to absorb sell-offs, which is not typical panic selling. Liquidity across the network is ample, with a total exceeding 4.5 million, and large inflows and outflows can be absorbed.
**Position and Sentiment** The current price at 3283 is in a relatively middle zone, so risk is manageable. The daily VWAP deviation of -11.1% indicates the price is below the average cost, a typical washout feature. The 4-hour VWAP deviation of +7.33% shows bulls still have the upper hand intraday. The market sentiment index is 49, neutral overall. The 1-hour StochRSI( at 12.1 and Williams%R) at -86.4 both indicate oversold conditions, suggesting short-term rebound potential. Although sell orders seem dominant at 58.9%, comparing order book depth suggests this is more likely a manipulation by major players to shake out weak hands.
**Specific Trading Strategy** I maintain a bullish stance but prefer to wait for a more comfortable entry point. Suggested phased entries: - First position around 3245 (support S1) - Second position around 3204 (support S2) - Stop-loss below 3175 (below the daily MA200)
Profit targets are staged—initially at 3314 (Pivot), then at 3375 (Fibonacci 78.6%). A 15% position size is reasonable since the current price is in the middle zone, not at extreme levels.
**Support and Resistance Framework** The current price at 3283 is in the lower part of the key zone between 3244 and 3314. The first strong support is at 3244.56, followed by a solid support at 3203.91. On the upside, the first resistance is at 3314.38, and breaking through could lead to 3375.25. If the price falls below 3244, it may test the daily supports at 3200 or even 3175. From liquidity distribution, buy orders support the upward structure on the daily and 4-hour charts, so an upward breakout is still possible. It’s not the most dangerous position now, but not the most comfortable either—patience is needed for a rebound and stabilization. Currently, during the Asian session, liquidity is lower, so avoid chasing rallies or panic selling. Waiting for the price to return to support levels before acting is more prudent.
**Final Words** Market patterns tend to rise amid oscillation, and tops are often seen in a consensus bullish environment. The current pattern of pressure above and support below is typical of main players accumulating and shaking out weak hands. Stay patient, follow your plan, and don’t get swayed by short-term volatility.

It's the same old manipulation theory again, but the support level at 3245 definitely needs attention. Let's wait for the signal before making any moves.

You're doing the same old trick of shaking out the market, really treating us all as bagholders?

This wave is definitely a shakeout, with big players quietly accumulating. If it drops a little more, I'll start buying in batches.

Another round of shakeout drama, these data look comfortable
The main force is accumulating at 3245, I bet they won't give up so quickly
Waiting for a pullback to continue bottom fishing, anyway it only dropped 0.47%, not a big deal
This middle position is the most annoying, the feeling of not going up or down
With such abundant liquidity, going up is just a matter of time
This volume in the Asian session, let's wait until Europe and the US wake up
As long as the big players are backing me, I can rest assured and continue sleeping
