ETH's recent rebound momentum looks pretty good, but from a structural perspective, this is still just a bounce within the range and far from a trend reversal.
Currently around 3015, the 4-hour chart just hits the MA120 moving average, which is a good testing opportunity. The real bottleneck is between 3050 and 3070, where the key resistance lies.
On the hourly level, the upward acceleration has been continuous, and such a trend often leads to a quick spike followed by a pullback. Once a pullback forms, it will likely switch to a sideways decline mode, so the trading strategy is quite clear—shorting on rebounds offers a better risk-reward ratio.
Only one variable can change this rhythm: a confirmed break and stabilization above the 3050—3070 zone. Achieving this condition would confirm a true structural reversal; otherwise, it's just a rebound.
Before that, the strategy is: don't chase longs, be patient with rebounds, wait for it to move into a comfortable short position, so you can operate with the trend. Some smaller tokens like LIGHT, BEAT, and others are also in similar rhythms, and the approach applies.

If 3050 can't hold, it will still rebound; only a break confirms it. Currently, I am looking at short opportunities.

nah this ma120 kiss is just the organism breathing, not waking up. watch the 3050-3070 zone like it's a whale's wallet address—that's where the real tells happen.

If 3050-3070 can't be broken, it's a rebound. I agree with this logic.

nah this is just textbook dead cat bounce dressed up as reversal. 3050-3070 gotta hold or we're back in the grind, nothing changes that.

If 3050-3070 can't hold steady, don't expect a reversal. You have to short when taking profits. This logic has no flaws.

Breaking through the 3050-3070 barrier is really tough; waiting for the pullback makes the market much more comfortable.

Is the 3050 barrier really that tough? It feels like we're going to go back and forth again in the next couple of days.

It feels like the 3050 hurdle is about to come crashing down again, it's really frustrating to watch.
