$ETH ‌ ETH Midday Analysis

ETH plummeted from today's high of 2384 to 2294, a drop of 90 points, with 1H timeframe confirming CHoCH turning bearish.

The morning session experienced typical liquidity sweeps——after sweeping upper liquidity at 2384, it reversed sharply. The 1H large bearish candle (from 2350 to 2306) at 10:00 confirmed bears in control.

Subsequently, price oscillated repeatedly in the 2294-2325 range, forming a triple bottom structure testing 2297 three times. Although the triple bottom held temporarily, each rebound high showed declining peaks (2329→2324→2317), indicating continuous exhaustion of bull strength.

On the 4H timeframe, the gains from the previous two 4H bullish candles (2272→2351) have been retraced by nearly half. The current 4H candle is forming a long lower shadow (with low at 2294), showing extreme divergence between bulls and bears in the short term. The funding rate has turned negative at -0.000022 (shorts paying fees), suggesting strong short sentiment but potential short squeeze rallies in the short term.

The current 2317 level sits at the midline of the 15M descending channel, with 2325 and 2335 as strong resistances above, and the 2294 triple bottom as the final support below.

Overall Assessment: 1H bearish trend established, 4H bullish trend damaged but not fully reversed, short-term bias toward bearish consolidation. Operationally, adopt shorting on rallies as main strategy and buying on dips as secondary strategy, with strict position control.
