The recent market for Ethereum can be summed up in one word - grind. It can't be pumped up or pushed down, repeatedly testing and wearing out investors' patience.

This seemingly calm trend is the most confusing for people. Some begin to doubt the direction is uncertain, but the truth is actually harsher — whoever moves first from the current position loses, and everyone is waiting for a signal that is safe enough.

The most dangerous market conditions are often not the dramatic rises and falls, but rather these grinding phases. It acts like a master, waiting for you to lose patience and make impulsive decisions in the most unfavorable positions.

Recently, I haven't published many opinions in the square, not because there aren't opportunities, but because good positions are inherently scarce. Without clear structural signals, I choose to stay in cash and observe. Being able to remain patient itself constitutes a competitive advantage.

Take the operation from a few days ago as an example. At the moment the market structure was in place, I set a buy order at the 2950 line, with a stop loss at 2905. After calculating the risk-reward ratio, I patiently waited. The market retraced as expected, then directly broke through upwards, easily capturing a profit of 100 points. When it was time to exit, I did so without greed, and without any hesitation.

Stable and profitable traders are not those who are busy staring at the screen all day. Their secret is simple: wait long enough, enter accurately enough, and exit quickly enough. That's the rhythm.
