ETH: Falling below 2100 multiple times, go short or go long?



Yesterday at noon, I attended a friend's wedding, and it was raining pretty hard. The red envelope was generous, after all, the relationship is there.

At the banquet, "Red Pants" couldn't sit still and kept scrolling on his phone. I took a glance, the screen was all red, ETH had dropped below 2100 again. "Red Pants" looked grim and said, "Bro, this market is as unlucky as this weather. I think it’s heading to 1500. Should I cut my small holdings and stop the loss?"

Next to him, President Song was peeling shrimp without even lifting his eyelids: "Whoever’s life is affected by rain and then gets a divorce?"

President Song pointed to the bride on stage and said, "Even if it’s a house in a tourist area, no matter how beautiful the decor, that’s for tourists to see, that’s a beauty filter. Recently, ETH was over 3000—that was a 'wedding scene,' emotions, spotlight. Back then, everyone was just the big spenders at the wedding. Now? The lights are off, makeup removed, back around 2000. That’s the real price of 'daily life'—the land price of core urban assets."

"Red Pants" asked, "What if even the 'land price' can't hold?"

President Song wiped his hands and said one word: mathematical logic.

He pointed to the red envelope on the table and said, "Did you contribute 2000 yuan just to have this meal? No, you did it to maintain this circle, to exchange bigger resources in the future. Those 2000 yuan are the 'stop-loss amount'; future resources are the 'take-profit level.' Trading is the same—when no one believes in it, that’s when you should act."

【Trading Strategy】$ETH
Direction: Long
Entry: 2050-2075
Logic: Wait for it to retest, just like waiting for the bride to change her toast dress—this is the best time to toast (enter the position).
Stop-loss (strict rule): 2018
Logic: President Song said, if even the old houses in the city can't be sold, then the city is finished. Similarly, if it drops below 2018, ETH’s fundamentals are broken. Don’t hesitate then—exit immediately.
Target: First watch for a reduction at 2140, then look at 2175-2210.

Seeing the groom so happy, I was thinking, the so-called "relaxation" actually comes from having confidence. The old men at the market have a sense of relaxation because they have a safety net; President Song has a sense of relaxation because he knows what the core assets are.

When trading, don’t tighten yourself too much. Keep your stop-loss in place, place your orders, then relax and enjoy tea or take a walk.
