Ethereum's recent performance has indeed been a bit frustrating. If ETH cannot hold above the 3300 support level, then shorting at high levels becomes particularly crucial.

The current trading strategy is actually quite clear: with obvious resistance above, go short at high levels. Wait until the price drops to the support level below, then enter a small long position to hedge risk. This approach is simple and straightforward, but effective.

The key is whether ETH can hold this range. It will either break upward or retest the support below. Market conditions change rapidly, and market sentiment is constantly shifting, so it’s important to keep a close eye on the market movements.

Many traders are now watching how this wave of market will develop, especially those who have built positions around 3300, and they are definitely feeling anxious. But from a technical perspective, this high short and low long rhythm can still be maintained.

If I can't hold 3300, I'll cry. I'm really a bit annoyed by this back and forth. Speaking of high-altitude trading, it sounds simple, but in practice, it still depends on your mindset. Both technical and emotional aspects are involved. Forget it, I think I'll just wait and see. Friends who built positions at 3300 are probably feeling pretty uncomfortable now. This wave is really a bit exhausting. With such obvious pressure, why still play the high-altitude game? I think it's better to wait and see for now. Actually, whether it's a breakout or a breakdown, it mainly depends on how the next few K-lines develop. Don't overthink it. If we can't get past this 3300 hurdle, I feel there might be a wave down below. Be mentally prepared, everyone.

If 3300 breaks, I'll admit defeat. Anyway, I've been playing this high-short, low-long strategy for a year.

If 3300 can't hold, I'll just go all-in on short positions, anyway it's going to break --- It's the same old story of going high and low, easy to talk about but hard to do, most people cut losses --- Brothers who built positions at 3300 are probably already starting to curse now haha --- Breaking the level is only a matter of time, better to cut losses early --- Hold on the technicals? Laughs, market sentiment can flip instantly, do you believe it? --- I've seen too many times where shorting and bottom-fishing ended in failure --- Just want to know where the next support is after 3300 breaks, don’t tell me it will drop another 200 points --- Shorted at high levels in vain, now reversing to go long is almost too late --- This rhythm sounds good, but who actually doesn’t get slapped in the face when they try to operate?

3300 is really a hurdle; if you can't break through, you'll have to admit defeat. The high-altitude low-buying strategy has long bored me; the key still depends on whether the funds are moving. After being stuck at 3300 for so long, I guess it's time to shake things up again. Anyone who dares to chase high in this wave is probably a bit irrational. It's truly awkward when support is lost; at that point, people will be lining up to cut losses.

The 3300 level is really a bit annoying; if you can't break through, you have to stay empty-handed, but if you break it, you're afraid of chasing the high. This is the crypto world. Speaking of the strategy of shorting high and going long low, it sounds simple, but when the market moves, the mentality just collapses. The guys who built positions at 3300 are probably losing sleep now; I refuse to believe no one wakes up in the middle of the night sweating. What does ETH really want to do? Can it stop being so frustrating?

Oh no, the 3300 level is really tough, it feels like ETH is dancing Let's wait three years, anyway history has shown us we can get through each time I've been playing the high-altitude low-buy strategy for three years, losing money is just accumulating chips, haha Not afraid if I can't hold on, a decline is the real opportunity, then I can buy the dip at a lower price Actually, what's there to worry about? The market changes so quickly, might as well just relax and watch, after all, it's a three-year cycle

If 3300 can't hold, it's really time to clear the position. This wave of market can't be sustained --- Listening to "buy high, sell low" sounds simple, but actual operation is exhausting. What's the trading mentality? --- Those around 3300 are probably already starting to count sheep hahaha --- With such obvious pressure, still want to break through? Dreaming, I think it's going to drop further --- Holding on technically? Laughing out loud. Let's see the chart, too many variables --- Already sold at high levels long ago, just waiting to buy the dip. Who still plays the game of buy high, sell low? --- I just want to know whether 3300 is support or resistance. Feels like neither --- Hedging risks? Bro, this is gambling, and you're just calling it a term --- ETH's volatility, if it can't hold above, it really has to drop --- Those who built positions at 3300 are indeed gambling. Good luck if you're lucky and make easy money, bad luck if you get liquidated --- Waiting for a breakout now probably means waiting forever --- Market changes in an instant, what nonsense. It's just bouncing around 3300 repeatedly
