#数字资产动态追踪 On the first trading day of the new year, Ethereum surged straight to the $3000 mark. Seeing this wave of gains is truly exciting. But don’t rush—just as it touched $3000, it was knocked back down. The bears are fighting fiercely here, and the bulls and bears are already locked in a showdown.

Currently, the market is oscillating around 2970, like a string stretched to its limit. Pushing upward, the range from 3000 to 3030 is a tough nut to crack, with heavy sell orders piling up; pushing downward, the bulls defending around 2890 to 2900 are holding firm.

The future trend essentially has two paths:

**Path 1: Breakthrough and Takeoff**
If at some point the price can break through with high volume and stabilize above 3000, then confidently push through the previous high at 3060, the new upward space will likely open. If you want to follow, wait until it truly stabilizes before looking for an entry. But there's a key rule—stop-loss must be precisely placed below the critical support level; this is the insurance for survival.

**Path 2: Fake Breakthrough and Accumulation**
If the price repeatedly tests the 3000 level without breaking through, it may retrace to around 2890-2900 to gather strength. Once there are signs of stabilization—such as long lower shadows or minor divergence on lower timeframes—that’s often the window for a second entry. Similarly, don’t be careless: if it falls below 2870, stop-loss immediately.

Market sentiment is quite volatile right now. Before a clear direction emerges, remember this: watch key levels closely, observe more and act less, and let the market speak for itself.

Once a genuine breakout or breakdown signal appears, that’s the time to follow. The most important and often repeated advice is—protect your principal more than pursue profits. Staying alive is the best way to wait for the next bull market.
