ETH drops below the 3000 mark again, and this decline was no surprise. Two days ago, some people still confidently bullish at 3230, claiming that 3200 was an unbreakable support. Now, this once "ironclad" level has become a ceiling, and the waterfall decline from 3400 to 2900 has caused many investors attempting to catch the bottom to pay tuition fees.



The most profound lesson the market has taught us is: it's better to respect the trend than to stubbornly hold onto faith. From the rebound at 2910, although it touched briefly, it was nothing more than a "dead cat bounce." The area around 2980-3000 now is densely packed with trapped orders—that's the brutal reality of top-to-bottom reversal.

The upcoming situation is quite clear: if the market rebounds back to around 2980 but trading volume significantly diminishes, then this level will become an excellent second shorting point. When the market is falling, only fools would reach out to catch it halfway; truly smart traders are waiting for it to land completely and confirm stabilization before making a move. Don't rush to catch the bottom—every buy-in now could become a head for the main players.

honestly this "dead cat bounce" framing is so tired... like yeah, 2980-3000 is obvious resistance now, but the real question is whether we're seeing actual protocol adoption headwinds or just another liquidity cascade. most retail won't even grok the difference between price discovery and margin liquidation cascades tbh

Dead cat bounce, are we doing it again? I already said not to support the rally.

3,200 iron bottom? Ha, this is the consequence of faith recharge. I told you early on that bottom-fishing is just picking up blades.

It's incredible, the solid floor at 3200 has now become the ceiling. The contrast is unmatched, haha.

Oh no, got caught again. This time I really have nothing to say. --- Exactly right, faith is just a joke in front of the market. --- The solid support at 3200 haha, now it’s the ceiling every day, hilarious. --- Let’s wait and see, don’t rush to buy in, I’ve paid enough school fees. --- The phrase "dead cat bounce" is spot on, hits the nail on the head. --- Really, bottom-fishing has turned into bottom-scraping, a bloody lesson. --- The main players are just waiting for us to send ourselves in, smart people are all watching from the sidelines. --- The phrase "trend is king" should be engraved in your mind, to avoid making the same mistakes repeatedly. --- Decreasing trading volume and shorting, this logic makes sense. --- I just want to ask, is anyone still confidently bullish at 2980? Haha

Oh no, it's the familiar routine again. The 3200 support is gone, those who are bullish probably took a big loss this time haha. Buying the dip turned into a family buy-in, serves them right for sending their heads. The dead cat bounce this time really is a trap, still hoping to rebound at 2980? Don't worry, the trapped sellers are more than you can imagine. I'm just watching, not moving, waiting for it to completely collapse at the bottom before making a move. Another season of leek harvesting, faith is worthless, cutting losses is the real strategy. This position of 3000 should have broken long ago, it should have broken long ago... If it drops like this and people still buy in, I really don't understand. Just waiting for the rebound story after a month. In the face of the trend, everyone is just cannon fodder. Mindset determines the life and death of the account. The short entry point is here, when the volume shrinks to the point of shooting, it's time to fire.

Damn, I got burned again. The "bottom" at 3200 has really become the ceiling.
