Today I executed three trades, with a pretty good hit rate, and two of them were profitably closed as planned. This experience once again confirms a principle — left-side trading combined with strict position management is the key to long-term survival. Chasing highs and selling lows is a trap you must avoid at all costs.

Here's my view on ETH. In the short term, I remain bearish, with a stop-loss set at the 3300 level, and a take-profit target initially at 3000. Based on subsequent market movements, I may adjust the target down to around 2800. These levels are based on a comprehensive analysis of current technical and fundamental factors, not arbitrary settings. Stick to discipline, control risks, only then can you survive longer in the market.

I got the wave of bearish ETH. Once 3300 breaks, I will cut losses immediately. This move is very clear-headed. However, I still think the expectation of 2800 is a bit aggressive; it depends on whether it can really drop further. Left-side trading combined with position management is indeed the secret to lasting longer. I have previously been killed countless times by chasing rallies.

Bro, this set of discipline is indeed absolute. Compared to those who chase highs and sell lows every day, you'll live much longer.

Left-side trading sounds simple, but it's really hard to do. You need to have a strong psychological resilience.

I'm also watching the ETH range between 3000-2800, just worried about losing composure and breaking down during a rebound.

Haha, in these two moves, the rhythm is pretty good... But I still think the 3000 target is a bit optimistic, ETH is really tricky.

Bro, this disciplined approach is really reliable. Buying the dip on the left side + position management is the secret to lasting... I also agree with the bearish outlook on ETH this time. If 3300 breaks, you must cut decisively. Don't talk to me about faith; everything is虚 in the face of the market.

I agree with the trading logic on the left side, but your ETH short profit-taking setup is a bit aggressive... Can the 3000 level really be reached?

Trading on the left side indeed requires patience, but most people can't do it; the desire to chase highs is too strong.

If ETH drops to 2800, I might jump in, depending on whether it can break the crucial 3000 level later.

Your stop-loss setting is quite strict; this is worth learning from. Most people get wiped out by their stop-losses.

I've heard this trading theory on the left side countless times, but few can actually execute it. These two profitable trades you made are quite impressive.

I'm waiting to see if ETH will hit the 3000 level; I feel it might still drop further.

Your point about position management is correct; those chasing the rally often end up with poor outcomes.
