Sunday US market is closed, and these two days ETH futures may present better trading opportunities. From a technical perspective, there are signs of whale activity around 3350. If a move targets this level and there is enough momentum, it could push to the 3370-3380 range, with a potential extension up to around 3420.



How to operate specifically? If there is a spike and an upward attack on 3350, the key is to observe the 1-hour candlestick. Once it reaches near 3370-3380, watch for a pin bar signal. Confirming a pin bar could be a signal to consider shorting, but if you want to be more cautious, wait for a clear double top formation on the second 1-hour candle before entering, which can improve the win rate. The stop-loss can be set based on your risk tolerance, either at the first pin top or the second pin top.

Another scenario is—if after moving up, the price breaks through 3380 with high volume and pushes past 3400 without resistance, then pay attention to whether there will be resistance around 3420. If it encounters resistance, a pullback might follow.

But the most important point: if there is no upward momentum tonight and tomorrow morning, don’t force trades. The best approach is to wait until the upward move completes and the trend is confirmed, then follow the trend on the right side with a momentum trade. This way, the risk is more manageable.

Are you hyping 3420 again? When you said that last time, it dropped to 3200...

This analysis sounds good, but I still think waiting for the right-side follow order is the way to go. Don't be fooled by the needle insertion.

I just want to ask, is the 3350 whale movement again absorbing funds, or is it really about to surge? It sounds very much like last year's false breakout, which ended up dropping below 3200. Wait, I need to think more about the descending top pattern. Just looking at the 1-hour chart feels a bit fake.

3420 can really break through? I'm still waiting for a dip, feeling that this market trend is a bit shaky.

Whales are gearing up at 3350, but I’d rather see if it can break 3400 directly... Maybe it’s better to stay steady and wait for the right side.

I've been watching this wave at 3350 already, just worried that whales might throw out another smoke screen, making it look like a trap for people to get caught. Directly at 3420? That's probably overthinking it a bit, given the current atmosphere... Waiting for a follow-up on the right side, staying steady is safe, but it's also easy to be swept in the opposite direction.

Wait, do whales really cooperate to hit 3350? I'm a bit skeptical about these levels; it feels like we're about to be washed out again.

Whales are itching to move at 3350. I know this routine... I'm just afraid they'll run as soon as it hits 3380, just waiting there to harvest the gains.

The 3350 whale activity this time feels like a classic pump-and-dump scheme. I need to wait for a signal to start following. Wait, what if it directly breaks 3400? That would be interesting. 3420 might really need to be defended. However, I still trust the second 1-hour topping pattern. Being cautious is never wrong.
