$ETH The story of this wave of market movement is actually quite simple, but there are many details.



On January 14th, there was a direct violent surge, jumping from over 3100 to above 3350 in one go, a gain of over 10%. The current question is: is this a real breakout or a false breakout?

**What do the bulls say?** The weekly chart has already stabilized, the daily moving averages are aligned in a straight line upward, and the short-term explosive power is indeed very strong. The long-term oscillation range (3150-3200) has been broken, and such a breakout level usually indicates some market movement.

**But the bears also have a point.** On the 1-hour and 4-hour charts, decreasing volume and stagnation are beginning to appear, MACD shows signs of a death cross at high levels, and the price's positive divergence from MA25 is quite large. In plain terms, a short-term pullback is needed to release pressure.

So, the trend has indeed reversed to bullish, but rushing straight up at this position isn't very profitable. The market hasn't run away; instead of chasing highs and getting caught, it's better to re-enter during a pullback. If BTC volatility increases, it will intensify this pullback pressure, which is something to watch out for.

The win rate for this opportunity is still quite good, roughly 4 stars. The key is how to enter—don't chase high, wait for the right opportunity.

The signal of shrinking volume and stagnation is too obvious. Chasing highs is just giving money to the big players.

The phenomenon of shrinking volume and stagnation is back again. I always feel that those chasing the high will end up losing out.

Well, this pullback is the best entry point. We've waited so many years just for this.

To be honest, this wave of gains is indeed fierce, but I'm scared... With the decreasing volume and stagnation in price, it's right in front of us, there's no need to chase.

Be cautious of the shrinking volume and stagnant price; chasing highs feels good temporarily but could lead to being trapped until the end of the year haha
