### **Operation Strategy**
#### **1. Short Position Holders (as shown in the screenshot)**:
- **Current Position**: Short 6 ETH, Opening Price 2,975.91, Liquidation Price 3,227.57 (High Margin of Safety).
- **Suggestion**:
- Take profit reference **2,961** (previous low), stop loss moved up to **3,028** (breakthrough mid-track turns into long signal).
- If the price rebounds to the 3,020-3,028 range, you can **increase the short position**, target 2,985.
#### **2. New Position Direction**:
- **Priority Short**:
- Entry point: **3,020-3,028** (mid-range pressure area)
- Stop Loss: 3,050 (exit if it breaks the previous high of 3,084)
- Target: 2,985 → 2,961
- **Be cautious when going long**:
- Only when the price **stabilizes above 3,028** and the MACD turns golden cross, lightly try to go long, target 3,070.
#### **3. Key Risk Control Points**:
- **Bullish Defense Level**: 2,985 (Bollinger Lower Band), breaking this level will accelerate the drop towards 2,961.
- **Short defense level**: 3,028 (Bollinger middle band), a breakout may test 3,070.
---
### **Summary**
- **Today's Main Strategy**: **Short on Rallies**
Use the price rebound to set up a short position in the range of 3,020-3,028, with a target below 2,985.
- **Warning Signal**:
- If the MACD histogram narrows or the KDJ forms a golden cross, be alert for a short-term rebound.
- Pay attention to the basis rate: If it turns positive (futures premium), it may indicate a trend reversal.
> **Reminder**: The current market shows significant bearish sentiment, but the 24-hour trading volume has reached 4.39 million ETH (13.2 billion USDT), and the volatility risk remains high. It is recommended to keep the position ≤5% and strictly set stop-loss. #ETH突破3000#
