For short-term trading of Ethereum $ETH , the current market presents two possibilities: testing resistance upwards or testing support downwards. The core of today's (December 5) trading is to observe the key level of $3,050, as whether this level holds will determine the short-term direction.



Bullish Outlook and Targets

- Core idea: Believes that price is stabilizing above key support and has the potential for an upward breakout.
- Key support: $3,050; $2,964-$2,957 (near the 20-day/50-day EMA).
- Upside targets: First focus on the $3,400-$3,500 range; if $3,100 is strongly breached, the longer-term target could reach $5,000.
- Main basis: Price has reclaimed the short-term EMA cluster on the 4-hour chart; MACD indicator shows bullish divergence; the December 3 Fusaka network upgrade provides fundamental support.

Bearish Outlook and Risks

- Core idea: Believes the rebound may face resistance, with risk of a deep pullback.
- Key resistance: $3,100-$3,200 area; 100-day and 200-day EMA (around $3,013-$3,206).
- Downside risks: If the $3,050 support is lost, price may fall towards $2,900 or even the $2,800-$2,720 zone; in an extreme scenario, if the bearish pattern on the daily chart is broken, price could test $2,200-$2,500.
- Main basis: Price moving up to $3,500-$3,700 enters a historical "supply zone" (selling pressure area); recent selling by long-term holders (LTH) may impact market stability.

Today's Trading Strategy Reference

1. Aggressive Strategy (Trend Breakout)

- Idea: Attempt to follow short-term strength after price clearly breaks above and holds $3,100.
- Operation: Consider light long positions, with an initial target near $3,350-$3,400.
- Risk control: Must set a stop loss, which can be placed just below the breakout point (e.g., near $3,050). This is a trade betting on the continuation of the short-term trend, requiring quick entry and exit.

2. Conservative Strategy (Range Trading)

- Idea: Treat $3,050-$3,200 as a short-term volatility range, buying low and selling high.
- Operation:
- Buy near support: If price retests the $3,050-$3,070 area and shows signs of stabilizing, consider going long, with a target near the upper range at $3,200.
- Sell near resistance: If price rebounds to the $3,180-$3,200 area and faces resistance, consider shorting, with a target near $3,080.
- Risk control: Strictly follow range boundaries. When going long at support, set stop loss below $3,030; when shorting at resistance, set stop loss above $3,220.

Regardless of strategy, pay attention to the following today:

- Key level defense: Monitor the battle at $3,050 (support) and $3,100-$3,200 (resistance) in real time.
- Changes in trading volume: Whether there is increased volume accompanying price rises or falls, which is key to judging the validity of breakouts or breakdowns.
- Market correlations: Watch Bitcoin (BTC) price action, as ETH's short-term direction is heavily influenced by it.
