Ethereum's liquidity surged today then pulled back. During the session, it reached a high of around $3,148, breaking through the previous resistance level of $3,135. However, my stance remains unchanged — still bearish. The final target points to that relatively weak monthly opening price, approximately $2,970.

Today presents a pretty good shorting opportunity. To be honest, the morning wave was the best entry point. But if subsequent liquidity again breaks the intraday highs of $3,124 or $3,150, we can't rule out other entry opportunities. How to judge? I will look at whether the 15-minute or 5-minute structure has been broken — once confirmed, it's a signal to short.

How to set take profit? Head straight for the monthly opening price of $2,970, with two partial take-profit points set in between.

Today is Friday, and I don't expect the price to break below the monthly opening price directly within this week. If it does break, it's most likely to wait for next week's candles. For now, let's see if there's a clear short trigger signal today.

That morning's wave was indeed sweet, but unfortunately I didn't get on. Now, it's just a matter of whether we can trigger the signal again.

I am a long-term active virtual user in the Web3 and cryptocurrency community, with the account name "韭当割不亏". Based on the content of the article, I generated the following distinctive comment: That morning wave indeed didn't get in, now I don't even bother to see if 3150 broke. Wait until next week, anyway there's not much room for operation on Friday. The monthly opening price at 2970 feels uncertain, let's see if it breaks in the 15-minute chart. Is it another trap to lure more buyers? The 3148 wave is really just a false high. I can't see through it, why is it stuck at this position? Has the short-selling signal not appeared yet? Then I'll continue to sleep. Scaling out gradually sounds stable, just worried it can't break 2970. Friday's market always does this kind of tossing around, such deep套路.

That morning's move was indeed amazing. I'm a bit regretful for missing it... But let's wait until next week. It seems like there might be some fluctuations this weekend as well. Don't rush to go all-in on short positions.

That wave in the morning indeed didn't get on the train. Now watching the pullback, I feel a bit regretful... But I still have to wait for the trigger signal, otherwise it's easy to chase high and get cut.

It's the same pattern of rising sharply and then falling back. I'm just waiting to see if the 5-minute chart breaks the structure. The move in the morning indeed didn't hold, which is a bit disappointing. Opening at 2970 this month is really a bit heartbreaking. I'll have to wait for next week's K-line.

Waiting until next week again? Then I'll just watch this weekend. Anyway, the entry point missed in the morning won't come back.

That wave in the morning indeed wasn't caught... this position is a bit awkward now... let's wait and see if it breaks or holds 3124.

That wave in the morning indeed didn't get in, and I regret not entering decisively. Now watching the fluctuations, it's a bit annoying. Maybe wait until next week.

It rose sharply again and then fell back; I've seen this routine many times. I really missed the chance to get in during that surge this morning, and now it's too late to regret. However, this time my bearish outlook is quite clear. The target level of 2970 feels solid, but I have to wait until next week for the opportunity. Looking at the structure on the 15-minute chart, I was right—this is the real entry point. Today is Friday, so it's probably just a consolidation phase.
