These days, Ethereum has been trading sideways within the range of $3270-$3330, with the current price holding at $3298. From a technical perspective, the situation is quite interesting — on the 1-hour chart, the bulls are still present, but the momentum is relatively mild, with no particularly aggressive signals. In contrast, on the 4-hour chart, the MACD is showing signs of a death cross, indicating that there may be short-term downward pressure.

However, looking further out, the weekly chart's bullish arrangement remains very nice, and the overall pattern is well maintained. From a medium-term perspective, Ethereum is expected to break upward, targeting the $3800-$3900 range.

For traders looking to operate, the approach could be as follows — wait until the price breaks above $3350 before entering the market, mainly with a small position, and set $3270 as the stop-loss level. This way, you can catch potential rebound opportunities while maintaining proper risk control.

Act only after breaking below 3350; this is called a probabilistic strategy, not gambler's thinking.

Wait until it breaks through 3350 before getting in. I've heard this saying too many times. Every time, it's so confident, but what’s the result? It still depends on luck.

The weekly bullish alignment is indeed beautiful, but it's a bit annoying in the short term. It's safer to buy again after breaking 3350, but I've already been lightly positioned for a while. Not being able to hold 3270 is the real trouble.

Only after breaking below 3350 will I dare to act. I still have to wait, my mindset isn't stable enough.

Wait until breaking 3350 to get in? I think this wave is a bit conservative... The weekly pattern is indeed beautiful, but who can wait? --- Stopping loss at 3270 still feels a bit tight, afraid of being swept out in one move. --- I agree with entering with a small position, just worried that after breaking 3350, it will directly rally to 3500, and it will be too late to regret. --- Honestly, the weekly bullish trend does look comfortable, but the short-term dead cross signal cannot be ignored. We still need to be cautious. --- The 3800-3900 target is indeed a bit of a dream. If it really reaches there, I would just lie flat. --- Range-bound trading is the most annoying; I dare not chase or short, just stuck like this is the most uncomfortable. --- If breaking 3350, actions need to be quick. In this kind of market, a slight delay can lead to being snatched away.

Hmm... I'll wait until 3350 breaks through before acting. I'm just worried it'll be a repeated cycle of buying and selling again.

Wait until 3350 breaks before taking action. This wave is more stable and safe, but I still have some doubts about whether it can really reach 3800 haha. --- The weekly chart looks good, but the problem is the short-term death cross is really annoying. Let's wait and see. --- Light position with a stop loss at 3270. I like this approach, just worried about wanting to add more if it breaks. --- After such a long consolidation, it feels like a big move is brewing. Whether it will break out or not depends on these next couple of days. --- 3350 is a key level. If it breaks through, then go for it; if not, just keep waiting. Anyway, we’re not short of these days. --- It's easy to say, but when it really hits 3350, my fingers start trembling again. That's just my problem. --- The MACD death cross combined with the weekly bullish trend—these two seem to be fighting each other. --- Forget it, let's stick to this pace. Anyway, there's not much to lose, just afraid that the market might suddenly surge. --- Setting the stop loss at 3270 feels a bit tight, but if the position is light, it should be okay.

Is breaking below 3350 enough to push? Feels like it's only interesting if the 3270 support breaks.

After such a long consolidation, wait for a breakout before moving up, otherwise it's easy to get trapped.
