Ethereum has recently shown strong performance, with the price stabilizing above key support levels. From a market structure perspective, the 3000-3300 range is an important battleground area, where the scale of short positions is quite large and has not yet undergone effective liquidation.

The current bullish logic is relatively clear: deploying Ethereum with low leverage, and once the target is reached for effective profit-taking, this conservative strategy indeed has a higher win rate. For traders looking to short, caution is advised at this stage—if the price breaks above 3300, the liquidation pressure on those low-position shorts will gradually release, triggering a chain reaction.

Looking at the correlation between BTC and BNB, major cryptocurrencies are showing a clear resonance in upward movement. Market participants should realize that the current upward cycle is not just a simple natural rebound; it may involve active liquidity adjustments behind the scenes. Recognizing this rhythm and choosing to follow the trend rather than oppose it is crucial for risk management.

In simple terms: follow the rhythm of major cryptocurrencies, go long with light positions, take profits when available, which is far better than risking heavy bets in a reckless gamble.

Is 3300 really that tough a barrier? The pressure of a short squeeze liquidation is a bit scary. --- I agree with the idea of trading with light positions and following the trend, but the premise is to correctly judge the direction. --- Mainstream coin rally resonance? It feels more like whales manipulating liquidity. --- Using low leverage sounds stable, but making money isn't that fast. --- Breaking through 3300 triggers a chain reaction? I feel like it needs to test a few more times. --- Taking profits when seeing gains is easy to say but hard to do; the psychological barrier is the hardest part. --- Everyone talks about going with the trend, but aren't there many who collapse after a wave of retracement? --- BTC and BNB moving in tandem? That means Ethereum has become a follower. --- Don't overcomplicate it; 3000-3300 is just a casino, and no one knows the outcome. --- Actively managing liquidity just sounds a bit like dark arts.

The short position was wiped out, and you're still stubborn. It'll be really interesting once 3300 breaks.

Breaking the 3300 threshold is indeed difficult; too many short positions are stacked up. It's still the same liquidity adjustment strategy; I think it mainly depends on BTC's performance. Small positions are the way to survive; otherwise, liquidation stories happen every day. Going with the trend is easy to say, but everyone is greedy when it comes to execution. This wave of Ethereum's rhythm is really comfortable, much better than those chaotic movements before. The part about releasing liquidation pressure is written very intensely; short sellers are going to have a tough time. I agree with low-leverage positioning; the aggressive ones have all been wiped out.

Why haven't the short positions exploded yet? Why does it feel like I'm just waiting all the time?

Breaking 3300, these short positions are really going to be wiped out, so satisfying --- Low leverage sounds stable, but I still don't believe it can be that simple --- It's either liquidity adjustment or active pumping, in plain terms, the whales are just harvesting --- I've long mastered the strategy of trading with the trend in light positions, the problem is how to judge the top --- Huge short positions not cleared? Then just wait to be wiped out, no suspense --- I don't quite understand why some people always think following the rhythm can lead to wins --- I've repeatedly bought the dip and sold the top in the 3000-3300 range, it's really annoying --- Saying take profit when seeing gains is easy, but when it comes to the actual position, I can't bear to sell --- Is BTC's rally linkage reliable? Anyway, I don't believe it anymore --- It's true that mainstream coins move together, but expecting them to make money is a bit naive

Only when the 3300 key level is broken will I dare to enter. For now, let's stay on the sidelines.

The most satisfying moment is when the short positions get hammered; just waiting for the moment when 3300 breaks.

Breaking through 3300 is still a bit uncertain; there are too many short positions, which is indeed dangerous. It's that same herd mentality—just follow the mainstream coins? I don't think so. Low leverage sounds comfortable, but those who are truly making money have already heavily invested. Trading lightly and going with the trend? Easier said than done. When it really matters, who doesn't want to take a gamble? Breaking through 3300 triggers a chain reaction of liquidations—how many times has this script been played out?

Another article about cutting leeks, whether it breaks 3300 or not, it's all a slaughterhouse Are the short positions about to be liquidated? So how do my friends who are shorting survive? Trading long with low leverage sounds easy, but in reality, we're just being washed out by the main players Is this wave really about liquidity adjustment or just a scam to trick us into taking the bait? Mainstream coins are about to move in tandem again, as a loser like me, I’d rather stay on the sidelines Light positions, light positions, I say every day, anyway, whatever I do is already arranged Take profits when you see gains? Wait until I see profits, then I’ll talk haha
