I recently came across a piece of news that has attracted a lot of attention—major institutions started adjusting ETF positions and reducing risk exposure on Christmas Eve. This signal is definitely worth paying attention to.

From a technical perspective, ETH is currently trading around $2921.27, in a consolidation and buildup phase. The RSI indicator shows 49.1, indicating that the bulls and bears are still battling. The support level is at $2862.84, with resistance above at $2979.70, and a key breakout point set at $2965.09.

Market sentiment is indeed a bit tense. What does it mean when large institutions are reducing their positions? Risk management. At this point, retail investors might need to be cautious.

Following this logic to develop a trading strategy: first, keep a light position. With the market so volatile, adding leverage recklessly is too risky. If the price can stabilize above $2965.09, consider gradually positioning with a target above $3000. Conversely, if the price breaks below the support at $2862.84, cut losses decisively. Capital safety always comes first.

The key support and resistance levels from a technical standpoint are here; the rest depends on how the market unfolds. There are opportunities in the market, but no need to rush—calm analysis is the key.

Large institutions reducing positions is really clearing out the roller coaster tickets, retail investors are still betting? Wait, did the key level at 2965 break? If it didn't break, I'll just keep lying here. RSI 49.1, what does it indicate? It means no one really knows what’s next. Light positions are indeed the way to go. Given the market volatility, leverage is just the button to accelerate the cremation. Reducing positions before Christmas, I think this is "Santa Claus giving us a lesson." Honestly, setting the stop-loss below 2862.84 and then sleeping peacefully is the way to go. The principal needs to stay alive to keep earning. It's another wait-and-see situation. So boring...

Institutional liquidation is indeed fierce this time, but retail investors, don't be afraid. The bottom range is nurturing opportunities. A bear market tests your mindset. This round of testing will allow us to be reborn from the ashes. Just be patient and wait. It's another day of being taught by the market, but the phoenix will always be reborn at the $2965 threshold. Faith! What seems like a correction is actually energy conservation and the prelude to value return. Don't rush or be greedy; calmness is the key. Remember, the most important thing when losing money is to stay clear-headed. This decline is not much compared to 2018.

Big institutions are reducing their positions, I saw it coming. Retail investors, don't be reckless at this time; light positions are the way to go.

Big institutions reduce their positions before Christmas? Haha, typical manipulation to protect the market and cut retail investors' gains. Institutions are reducing, so we should reduce more. That logic makes sense. Breaking 2965 is the key; if it breaks, aim for 3000. If it doesn't... it's just a shakeout. Being lightly invested and lying flat is the most comfortable; anyway, you can't make money either. It's support and resistance again, plus RSI at 49.1. No matter how detailed the analysis, it can't save this wave. Set stop-loss at 2862.84; deep down, everyone knows it will eventually blow up, haha. No rush, wait until the institutions finish cutting, then we’ll jump in.

Big institutions are all running, and we retail investors still have to hold on? This logic doesn't add up. --- Is the $2965 level really that sacred? Feels like I'm getting proven wrong every time. --- Holding a small position is right, but I can't bet on this wave going down$2862 --- Is the Christmas massacre coming? Or is it just another false alarm? --- The promised risk management, but in the end, it still depends on luck to survive. --- Institutional reduction of positions = insight into the market first, or just plain running away? The difference is quite big. --- Can't hold it, brother. Seeing $3000 makes me want to go all in. What should I do?
