January 4, 2026 Cryptocurrency Contract/Spot Strategy Overview: The ETH long contract has realized profits, while meme coins like PEPE have exploded intraday; currently focusing on low retracement longs + strict position control, quick in and out of meme coins, with tight stop-losses.
1. Contract Strategy (Mainly ETH)
• Profitable positions: 2920/3090 long positions, target 3130-3160, highest intraday 3167, can take profits in batches.
• New position strategy (January 4):
◦ Longs: Support at 3070-3090 for stabilization, enter on pullback, stop-loss at 3040, target 3150-3170, break to 3220.
◦ Short-term shorts: Enter on volume increase and stagnation at 3150-3170, stop-loss at 3190, target 3080-3100, quick in and out.
• Risk control: Single asset position ≤20%, contract leverage ≤5x, each position must have a stop-loss.
2. Spot Strategy
• Meme coins (PEPE, etc.): Intraday increase of about 5.8%, 24H volatility 15.51%; bottom-fishing traders take profits in batches, new entries wait for a pullback to 0.0000058-0.0000060 before light positions, stop-loss at 0.0000055.
• Mainstream coins (ETH): Spot positions built in batches on pullbacks to 3020-3080, long-term holding, stop-loss below 2950.
• Spot principles: Quick in and out of meme coins, dollar-cost averaging for mainstream coins, total position ≤50%.
3. Key Data for the Day (January 4)
• ETH: Open at 3076, high 3167, close 3144, approximately 2.9% increase, bullish trend clear.
• PEPE: Daily increase of 5.8%, 24H high 0.0000066, low 0.0000057, active trading.
4. Risk Control and Execution Points
1. Contracts: Do not chase highs, buy at support levels, do not hold overnight stops, gradually move stop-losses up on profitable positions.
2. Spot: Avoid overtrading meme coins, buy the dip of mainstream coins, do not concentrate on a single asset.
3. Sentiment: Market is bullish but with high-level oscillation, be cautious about chasing highs, pullbacks are better entry points.
