Ethereum surges from 2157 to 2390? Main players liquidate positions to shake out traders + bear market rebound gifts "fat meat" to shorts

Author: Trading Master

Key point in one sentence: This rebound is driven by the main players accumulating positions after a large buy-in, using minimal funds to push the price up and control the market. Under the bear market structure, the higher the rally, the more room there is for subsequent shorting. Beginners, don’t be fooled into chasing!

1. The truth behind the strong rebound: Main players first buy heavily then push the price up, with low costs and powerful effects

1. Liquidation harvests long positions at the bottom: When ETH sharply drops to $2157, a wave of long liquidations sweeps across the network, retail traders’ bottom-fishing longs are wiped out, and the main players scoop up all the chips at low levels, clearing out selling pressure.
2. Extremely low cost to push the market: Chips are concentrated in the main players’ hands at low levels, circulating supply drops sharply, and a small amount of capital can trigger a big rally. From 2157 to 2390, it’s almost effortless to push up, easily setting the rhythm.
3. Short squeeze boosts: The rebound triggers short stop-loss covering, adding buying pressure, further amplifying the rally, forming a positive cycle of “buying surge → pushing up → short squeeze,” making the rebound stronger than expected.

2. The bear market structure remains unchanged; the higher the rally, the more comfortable shorting becomes

1. Structural proof: Daily moving averages are in a bearish alignment, with highs and lows continuously declining. The 2390 level faces strong resistance. The rebound is just a correction within the downtrend, not a reversal.
2. Pushing up creates space for shorts: Main players push the price near 2390, attracting new retail longs and freeing up enough room for their own short positions. After retail traders take the bait, the main players will dump even harder, targeting previous lows or even lower.
3. Short operation guide: Light short positions at the strong resistance zone of 2390-2400 USD, with a stop-loss at 2420 USD. If the price breaks below 2300 USD, add to short positions, aiming for 2220 USD → 2163 USD, stepwise shorting without hesitation.

3. Trading master’s advice

Don’t mistake this rebound for a bull market! This is just the main players “buy low, sell high” game. Chasing longs now is just giving away your capital. Be patient and wait for the rebound to hit resistance before shorting—that’s the correct approach in a bear market. Unfortunately, the order at 2138 didn’t get filled. But the trend breakout structure was there, and the more daring traders also went long. One last tip: frequent trading is taboo. Don’t open more than three trades per day. Take profits and rest. Wait until the structure completes and a good entry point appears before jumping in again.

Everyone, get some rest early
