ETH is actively printing new patterns on the charts right now. If you're trading this setup, make sure your stop loss is locked in tight—tight enough that you're protected from surprise wicks but not so tight you get shaken out on normal volatility. The key is managing your position size to match your SL placement. That's how you stay in the game during these kinds of moves.

Setting stop-loss too tight really makes it easy to get kicked out, that's correct.

Stop-loss settings are indeed an art. Too tight and you'll get stopped out, too loose and you'll get liquidated. Is this some kind of mysticism?

ngl, this is just position sizing 101 dressed up as technical wisdom. the real tell is whether you're actually reading the whale accumulation or just pattern matching like the rest of them. seen this movie before—people get liquidated not on the big moves but on the boring ones they weren't even watching

The stop-loss was set too tight, and a single pullback directly led to liquidation. It's a real issue.

Setting stop-loss too rigidly makes it easy to get shaken out, and that's correct. But the key still depends on market temperament; ETH's recent movements have indeed been a bit strange.
