Structural weakening, short-term game of moving averages correction

Currently, the ETH/USDT market shows typical features of **“trend-based correction + extreme oversold conditions”**. After the daily structure was broken, the market entered a low-volatility bottoming phase.
1. Market structure and price action analysis (Price Action)
1. Key level shift: The previous strong support at 3,000 has officially turned into a strong resistance (Support-Resistance Flip). Until the price recovers this level with increased volume, the medium-term outlook remains Bearish.
2. Liquidity scan: After testing around 2,863, the price shows decreasing volume and oscillates, indicating a key bottom liquidity pool. If the US stock market opens with liquidity exhaustion, a downward “false breakout (Sweep)” may occur to trap stop-loss orders below.
3. Candlestick patterns: 15-minute and 1-hour charts show oscillation with decreasing volume, forming a descending flag pattern, which warrants caution for a second downward test.
2. Resonance and divergence of technical indicators
• Moving average system (MA): 4-hour MA5/10/21 shows divergence and downward movement, indicating a complete bearish alignment. Currently, the price has a significant deviation from MA21 (2,999), suggesting a technical rebound towards the moving averages.
• Momentum indicators (MACD & RSI): * MACD is in a death cross below zero, but the histogram is shrinking, indicating weakening selling pressure.
• RSI and KDJ are both in oversold areas, with J-value bottoming out and beginning to rise. The initial signs of bullish divergence suggest a potential short-term rebound.
3. Macro linkage: Volatility pricing at US stock market open
Currently, ETH’s correlation with Nasdaq (NDX) remains above 0.8.
• Risk sentiment forecast: If US stocks fail to fill the initial futures gap at open, risk assets will face pressure.
• Key time window: 22:30 - 23:30 (UTC+8) is critical for market direction. Focus on Nasdaq’s performance around 17,000 points.
Trading deployment based on expected value
Long positions: High-probability left-side game (rebound short)
• Logic: Follow the bearish trend, capturing the re-break after moving average correction.
• Entry (POI): $2,985 - $3,005 (this zone overlaps 4H resistance and psychological level).
• Stop-loss (Invalidation): 3,030 (if the price stabilizes above this, it indicates a trend reversal).
• Targets (TP): 2,900, 2,860.
Short positions: Oversold rebound game (volume reduction)
• Logic: Use indicator divergence to trade mean reversion.
• Entry conditions: Price dips again to the $2,870 - $2,900 zone with decreasing volume and signs of stabilization.
• Risk control: Strictly limit stop-loss within 2%, avoid adding positions under this trend.
Currently, in the market, “not bottoming out” guarantees a higher win rate, and “waiting for rebounds” is the source of profit. After extreme overselling, markets often rebound, but before the major trend reverses, each rebound is aimed at better exit or rotation.
