The afternoon trend was somewhat stronger than at midday. I’ve been hesitant to open short positions after noon, mainly because before 4 PM, ETH’s support levels are roughly around 2292 to 2288. Although the 2-hour chart shows a death cross signal, there is support near 2262 below, and the 4-hour and longer timeframes do not show any obvious bearish divergence. The downward momentum seems insufficient, making it a bit painful to hold short positions at this point. As mentioned this morning, when the price was around 2378, a short scalp to 2336-2316 could be considered, but that move has already played out, so it’s not suitable to repeat the same operation. For more aggressive traders, considering long positions around 2292 could be an option. Conservative traders avoid this area mainly because they feel the risk-reward ratio isn’t attractive enough—if the price breaks below this level, the stop loss might need to be moved back by several dozen points, which isn’t very cost-effective. As previously mentioned, if the price breaks through 2336, the safety of chasing longs is actually higher than entering longs on a retest of 2292. 2292 is a key level to watch right now. As long as the price can break through the small bearish candle on the left around 2328, the trend could quickly reverse upward, turning 2292 into the low point of a “V” shaped bottom. Therefore, long positions entered after such a breakout tend to be more reliable in actual trading. Bitcoin follows a similar logic—if it breaks through 74,600, chasing longs can also be considered.
