The biggest variable in the current market is no longer the technicals, but rather the final outcome of the Iran-Iraq (Iran-US) negotiations on the 28th and 29th.
If ETH manages to hold above 1500 until next Wednesday, what would you do?
If the talks release positive signals, market panic is likely to cool down quickly and risk appetite could rebound.
BTC and ETH both have the potential to see a round of corrective recovery.
On the other hand, if the negotiations drag on or show more back-and-forth again, risk-off sentiment could intensify further, and the short-term could still face pullback pressure.
Personally, I’m more focused on the price action before next Wednesday.
As long as ETH consistently holds the key support at 1500 and there is no large-volume breakdown, this area is very likely to be a phase bottom zone.
The real opportunity isn’t chasing breakouts, but scaling in when the market is panicking.
Also, today is Saturday—there’s no U.S. stock market open—so the market lacks an external capital trigger. Mainstream coins’ volatility typically drops noticeably today, making it easier to enter a narrow range consolidation.
So there’s no need to act urgently today. Wait patiently for the news to land and for confirmation of the key support, then decide on the next strategy.
If you don’t understand, do less. If you understand, then act.
Get the timing right and slowly make your trades more solid.
$ETH empty positions—let’s do a stage-by-stage review of this move. First, since the short setup failed, we’ll focus on capital preservation. Overall, the pace and rhythm are fine.
After US stocks opened last night, the market sold off rapidly. The BTC price dropped to around 1520, just one step away from our expected 1515 target. This part is indeed a bit regrettable.
This is a typical case of “the space was just a little short, but the structure was completely on point.”
However, on the BTC side, the other short position at 58,500 has already been realized smoothly. It bottomed at 58,468, fully capturing the 2x move. That segment was a clean and decisive profit release.
The real issue now isn’t the trade itself, but the shift in timing.
Today is Saturday—without US market participation, liquidity is clearly lower. The chart is more prone to back-and-forth sweeps and fake breakout structures, so it’s not suitable to continue aggressively chasing shorts.
Meanwhile, from the intraday structure, there are already signs of some stabilization. Bear momentum is weakening, which suggests this stretch of continuous selloff is entering a consolidation/refresh phase.
So the next strategy is simple:
First, wait and observe—don’t chase shorts, don’t bottom-pick early. Let the market give a new direction.
Trading isn’t about pushing every segment to the limit. When it’s time to take profit (or reduce), take it back.
$ETH Before the US stock market even opened, the aunt/secondary trend of decline had already started to cascade downward
Brothers, did you all follow this short position with at least 100 points of potential?
The main overall trend still remains bearish—keeping to the idea of shorting on rebounds and staying up in the high zone is right. If you still don’t know how to find entry points, you can take more looks at @老许bit 老许公开策略交流群

$ETH The issues in the market right now are very clear: it’s not that there’s no rebound, but that every rebound is giving the shorts a better chance to add to their positions.
Especially on BlackRock’s side, they are still continuously distributing shares. This kind of sustained, institutional-level selling pressure is, in essence, not just short-term price volatility, but rather trend-level capital behavior.
So you’ll notice a very typical structure:
The harder the rebound tries, the more decisive the pullback.
That’s also why we set up our short positions in advance—not as a bet on direction, but to follow the flow of funds.
The target for this move is very clear: at least 150 points of space is only the baseline expectation. If the structure doesn’t change, the move won’t be limited to just this much.
The most important thing in trading isn’t calling it right—it’s holding on.
When the timing is right, profit is only a matter of time.
$ETH I saw it posted by my good brother, and the last sentence was just too much—I can’t take it. The E-guards really went into the water; it’s too damn brutal.
Is there any brother who wants to support?
The intraday ideal short position has already arrived, brothers. Current price: 1585—enter with the first lot.

Intra-day $ETH bounced from 1520 to 1555—essentially it’s still a typical weak “repair” rather than a reversal.
Many people, seeing a bounce, mistakenly think it signals a bottoming out. But in reality, this kind of price action is the easiest to trick with the illusion of “just stopped falling.”
From the volume and energy (momentum), this rebound has already clearly weakened. Momentum has basically been exhausted, which indicates that the bulls do not have sustained follow-through.
Once volume momentum is depleted at this kind of level, the most common market move is— a second pullback.
So the key now isn’t how strong the bounce is, but whether it can still continue to “lure” prices higher.
Once the bounce ends, that’s the window for the bears to take over the rhythm again.
That’s also why I’m paying renewed attention to short opportunities at this point.
As for whether today is Black Friday, it doesn’t matter.
What matters is: the structure itself doesn’t support sustained upside.
For the more aggressive brothers: at the current price 1555, place your target to watch for a break of the 1500 level and then the 1470 breakdown.
For the more conservative brothers: you can come to 老许公开策略交流群 to get the entry levels!!!

Last night, the broader market fell back again to around 58,000. The overall trend is basically the same as what I judged yesterday. The current market is still extremely weak— it couldn’t even regain and hold above 60,000 again. This shows that the rebound strength is clearly insufficient, and the bears are still in control.
From the current走势, the broader market is still in a downtrend channel, and there are no obvious bottoming signals yet. Therefore, today is likely still dominated by weak consolidation. Regarding contract positioning, personally I still lean toward shorting the rebound—wait until after the rebound to set up, rather than blindly chasing shorts at low levels.
As for when it will truly signal a bottom, I’ve mentioned before that I will first focus on the area around 55,000, to see whether an effective bottom can form there. If later it can stabilize with increased volume, then we can consider whether there is an opportunity for a rebound in the current phase. Otherwise, we still need to guard against further downside.
Let’s look at the current market data:
1. The panic sentiment index has already reached 12, which is in the extreme fear zone, indicating that market sentiment is still very poor. The liquidation map over the past 7 days also shows that the bears are clearly in the lead, and overall short sentiment remains relatively strong.
2. Regarding institutional fund flows, yesterday’s crypto ETF net outflows were about $450 million. This suggests institutions are continuing to de-risk and reduce exposure, and the outlook for the near term is not optimistic.
3. Options: BTC’s biggest pain point is $71,000, with a notional amount of about $9.245 billion; ETH’s biggest pain point is $2,000, with a notional amount of about $1.584 billion.
4. For the funding rate: BTC’s 8-hour average funding rate across the whole network is +0.002%. Although it’s slightly bullish, it’s almost zero, which means there isn’t much bullish conviction. ETH’s network-wide average funding rate is -0.0033%. Most major exchanges are negative as well, indicating that bearish power is relatively stronger, and the market overall is more tilted toward shorting ETH.
Key support levels to watch today: BTC around 57,000, ETH around 1,470, and SOL around 62.5.
Overall, the market has not yet shown a clear bottoming signal. Institutional funds continue to flow out, and sentiment is in extreme fear. For short-term operations, it’s still recommended to stay cautious. Until the trend has truly reversed, try to trade with the trend—don’t rush into bottom-picking longs just because prices have fallen a lot.

Last night, $ETH took a plunge that smashed through market sentiment. A lot of folks panicked and started cutting losses as the price dropped, and some even went short at the lows. 老许公开策略交流群
But my morning take was crystal clear: after a series of heavy drops, the shorts were already raking in serious profits. At this point, the real threat isn’t further declines, but rather the rapid bounce from shorts taking profits.
So while the market was still soaked in bearish sentiment, I had already guided my crew to stealthily enter long positions.
The logic is straightforward: a genuinely weak market won’t plummet rapidly, and a strong short won’t mindlessly crash when everyone is bearish.
Then ETH started its corrective rally as expected, and we cashed in on the entire rebound, netting a sweet $3000 profit.
The most interesting part of the market is that when most people think it can only go down, that’s often when the bounce begins.
Opportunities always come from anticipation, not chasing highs and cutting losses.
Get the rhythm right, and profits will naturally follow.

Morning!!! Bros. Last night, $BTC saw another quick drop, plunging below a key support zone at one point, further squeezing the longs. Old Xu also took his followers along for a couple of short positions!!! For those who are not up to speed on the current market 👉 老许公开策略交流群
From what we see now, the core reason for this drop isn't internal to the market, but rather a continuous decline in global risk appetite.
Lately, whether it's stocks, commodities, or crypto, you can definitely feel that funds are gravitating towards defensive plays.
What the market fears most is not bad news, but uncertainty. When funds start to pull back their risk exposure, high-volatility assets are usually the first to take a hit.
Looking at the charts, BTC has tried to bounce back multiple times, but each rebound lacks sustainability, indicating that outside funds are still in a wait-and-see mood, and short-term buying pressure isn't strong.
The market has entered a phase of emotional release, with panic selling ongoing, but often it's during these times that we get closer to a possible bottoming opportunity.
For spot trading, my view remains unchanged: don't think you can catch the bottom in one shot, and definitely don't go heavy betting on a reversal.
The truly sound strategy is still to scale in gradually, keeping your position size and cost within an acceptable range.
Key levels to watch: BTC: support around 58000
ETH: support around 1500
SOL: support around 63
Trading isn't about guessing the bottom, but waiting for the market to show it.
If you don't understand, don't make rash moves. Understand it before you act.

$BTC $ETH It's quite something! No time to explain! This price action is the best answer!
Initially, many folks kept saying that once the US-Iran ceasefire happens and oil prices drop, BTC would soar, and we'd all be in the green. But what happened?
BTC didn't just climb; it tanked, plummeting straight from the 67200 high, breaking through 62000, heading straight for the 60k mark.
Stop daydreaming about a rebound; it's a solid bear market now,
$BTC $ETH Market ups and downs are the norm; stay humble, don't panic during pullbacks, control greed, and stick to the rules. Forget about short-term gains and losses, focus on honing your own rhythm. Long-term stability is far more valuable than quick profits.
Is this tightening the traditional routes for going global?
But looking at it from another angle, it might not be all bad.
When some funds and traffic exits are restricted, the market will naturally seek new channels, and the crypto industry itself is one of the highest efficiency tracks for global circulation.
For major trading platforms, this could actually be a window of opportunity to compete for users and funds.
At this point in time, I estimate that many platforms are already researching countermeasures. After all, whoever can launch more attractive promotions, more complete products, and more efficient funding solutions first will have a chance to capture this influx of new traffic.
The market never stops flowing just because one channel is closed; it only seeks new exits.
What’s worth watching next is not the restrictions themselves, but which platform can seize this opportunity the fastest.
A new round of competition for users, funds, and market share may have already begun.

$BEAT dropped from 11.57 all the way to 1.5, and basically every weak hand has been shaken out. Recently, there's been a sudden pump, and a lot of folks are starting to shout that the meme coins are back, and a moon mission is imminent.
But as I took a look around, I noticed an interesting phenomenon: as soon as the price pumped, all kinds of bullish interpretations and optimistic sentiment came flooding in.
Just at that moment, we're also hitting a lock-up period.
For the project team, the ideal scenario isn’t unlocking at a low position, but rather releasing tokens when the market is most hyped.
Creating a wealth effect through a pump to attract outside liquidity is a common play for many small caps.
I’m not scared of it going up; what worries me is when everyone thinks it can only go up.
Last year, those meme coins that were hyped to the moon, which one didn’t go from 'ten times in the future' to 'no one cares'?
When the market starts spinning wild tales, I prefer to focus on who’s cashing out.
