ETH's current pullback looks fierce, but in fact, it's building momentum for the next wave of market movement. There are two main factors supporting this: one is institutional funds gradually flowing back in, and the other is the anticipation of technological upgrades. From a longer-term perspective, the bullish momentum has not yet reversed.

In the short term, the key point is the resistance level—whether it can be broken or not will determine the direction. Breaking through could open the door to a new rally, while failing to do so means staying within this range. Instead of trying to predict, it's better to track capital flows and upgrade progress—these are the real drivers of market trends. What are your thoughts on this wave? How do you plan to operate?

Institutional capital inflow needs to be verified with actual data; just talking about it isn't enough. I'm actually more interested in the upgrade line—whether the protocol architecture optimization can truly be implemented.

Is institutional money flow reliable? It feels like it's still retail investors getting trapped. --- If we can't break this resistance level, it's really over. Don't even talk about gathering strength then. --- Tracking capital flow sounds good, but how can retail investors follow? That's really the hard part. --- Expectations for an upgrade are all played out; we really need to see if the technology has been implemented. --- Bro, your analysis is a bit too optimistic. I'm still on the sidelines for now. --- How likely is a breakout? Why not just give a target price instead? --- Gathering strength? I think it's just bottoming out; no need to rush. --- Funds are entering so slowly, which means big players aren't that confident either.

Institutions are quietly accumulating, and there's nothing to fear about this wave of correction. Breaking through resistance levels is the real highlight; it's still early. Predicting based on capital flow is much more reliable.

I don't really believe in institutions' capital inflow; it's all after-the-fact armchair analysis. That hurts. Who can truly see through the flow of funds? Isn't it just gambling? Honestly, whether the resistance level is broken or not is a matter of probability. I'm still holding tight, waiting for technical upgrades to be implemented.

Institutions are accumulating, this is credible. The key is to watch the capital flow; don't just listen to stories.

Institutional inflow + upgrade expectations, sounds good. But looking at this pullback, to be honest, it's a bit exhausting. Can it really hold up? --- Breaking through resistance levels, right? I just want to know when it will break out. I'm not confident about chasing high now. --- Tracking capital flow is a good suggestion, but where do retail investors have so many data sources? I guess I might get caught again. --- No, everyone says the bull market hasn't reversed, so why is it falling so sharply? It's a bit contradictory. --- Technical upgrade expectations, this kind of rhetoric appears every time. The key is to see it come true; wishful thinking is useless. --- Instead of looking at these analyses, it's better to check the real-time order book on the exchange. Feels like everything you're saying is in the rearview mirror. --- Waiting for institutions to enter? I'll just watch quietly to see how much they can get in. Small and medium retail investors should accept their fate. --- At this stage, it's just two words: wait and see. I won't touch anything until I see it clearly. --- You're right, resistance levels are key. How far is the current price from them? Just tell me the number.

Institutional inflow + upgrade expectations, sounds pretty solid, but right now it really looks quite intimidating haha If we can't break through the resistance level, we still have to keep holding on. It feels like this round is similar to the previous rebound pattern But to be honest, rather than guessing blindly, it's better to focus on capital flows to avoid overthinking oneself

I believe in institutions accumulating positions, but honestly, I'm a bit nervous about jumping in now. You're right, the key is still to watch the capital flow; relying solely on technical expectations won't last too long. Despite such a strong pullback, people are still talking about a bullish trend; we need to see if the breakout point is truly genuine. Rather than guessing up or down, it's better to focus on the movements of big players—that's the real deal. The hype around upgrade expectations has long been overhyped; how much more heat it has now is questionable. I give a 50% chance of breaking through resistance levels; the risk is still there. When institutions really start increasing their positions, the signals will be clearer than these analyses. Entering now is a gamble on the next wave, but who can say when the next wave will come?

I believe in the institutional inflow, but the upgrade expectations are a bit vague. Anyway, I just look at the volume; if there's no volume, don't talk nonsense.
