#Strategy加仓BTC The tea is still hot. Turning around to look at the 1-hour chart of ETH, the Bollinger Bands' movement combined with MACD momentum shows real potential. Experienced traders understand the logic behind the market.

This is a healthy correction after a sharp rise. The price is oscillating close to the middle Bollinger Band, and the key support has not been broken, which is called a strong consolidation. The lower band is far away, indicating that the downward space has been effectively locked in. Remember one thing: in a bull market environment, every correction is not risk but a signal to get on board.

Although MACD shows a death cross at high levels, the two lines are still above the zero axis, and the histogram is gradually shrinking. This is a standard upward momentum taking a breather and does not constitute a trend reversal. The bears' hope for a crash is incompatible with the current energy level.

Trading volume has significantly decreased during this correction. The price is falling but trading activity is sluggish, indicating that selling pressure has been exhausted. Participants holding positions are not actively selling, waiting for confirmation of the trend before acting. This kind of situation often lacks a trigger.

The technical advice is to buy on dips; hesitation is pointless. The ideal range for positioning is between 3300-3310, which is a small support platform formed earlier and also a psychological threshold. The stop-loss should be set below 3250. If this level is broken, the short-term structure will change, and it’s necessary to admit mistakes promptly.

The first target is near the upper Bollinger Band at around 3430. Once stabilized, the previous high of 3450 or even above 3500 is within a reasonable expectation. The market is currently engaging in psychological warfare, using volatility to create panic. But the technical chart is honest: the overall trend remains intact, with obvious characteristics of volume contraction and clear, controllable support levels. During panic spreading, actively building positions is the rational approach. Action should be decisive, but discipline must never be abandoned. Stop-loss is always the best risk management tool.

It's the same set of theories again—Bollinger Bands, MACD, support levels... I've heard them so many times my ears are getting calloused, but I still get cut easily. Is 3300-3310 really solid? It feels like every time we say it's a strong support, it tends to break. But decreasing volume does have some interesting implications. Let's see if we can wait for that trigger.

Decreasing volume consolidation is just shaking out retail investors' psychology, don't panic. I've already placed an order at the 3300 level; the trigger is about to happen. Stop-loss rule? Ha, sounds nice, but when it comes to critical moments, everyone just wants to hold their position. If it breaks 3250 this time, I'll admit defeat immediately; there's no need to overthink. See you at the upper Bollinger Band, just wait patiently.

Consolidation with decreasing volume is just meal time; only the timid cut their positions at this time. It's both a death cross and a psychological barrier. No matter how nicely you explain it, it can't change the fact that I'm losing money. I’ll believe you if 3300 doesn’t break. But what if it does? If this wave really reaches 3500, I’ll just turn around and go short. Don’t ask why. The Bollinger Bands are hugging the middle band? My position is hugging the stop-loss line.

In a consolidation with decreasing volume, it's time to decisively buy the dip. This wave between 3300-3310 is a golden zone; don't hesitate.

Another set of 3300 bottom theory. Last time I said this, ETH had already dropped to 2800. I'm tired of the consolidation with decreasing volume; I'd rather wait for a breakdown before saying anything.

Bollinger Bands touching the middle band just want to enter? I see the trading volume is so sluggish, at such times it's easiest to break through psychological defenses. Shrinking volume consolidation sounds comfortable, but who can guarantee that the next candlestick isn't a fuse? 3300-3310, I remember it. If it breaks 3250, I'll admit I was wrong. If it needs to run, just run. ETH's recent correction scared many people, but actually it's just a lack of patience. In a bull market, corrections are indeed buying opportunities. From a technical perspective, it looks fine, but I always feel something's off... Maybe I'm just inexperienced.
