$ETH Short Analysis - Live Trade Breakdown 25 April 2026

I entered a SHORT position on ETH at 2,316.34$ this morning during Asia session. Here's my complete reasoning so beginners can learn risk management.

Setup Logic:
The price was rejected twice from 2,320$ which acted as major resistance from last Friday. On the 15m timeframe, UT Bot indicator gave a fresh SELL signal at 2,318$ while RSI was falling from 68 to 49.94. This confirmed bearish momentum was starting. Most importantly, price broke below EMA5 at 2,315.98$ which signals short-term trend change to downside.

Entry, Stop Loss & Target:
Entry: 2,316.34$ after confirmation
Stop Loss: 2,322$ placed above resistance and UT Bot signal. This equals 5.66$ risk on chart.
Take Profit: 2,299$ targeting internal liquidity below the 2,300$ psychological round number where retail stop losses usually sit.

Risk Management:
I used only 0.15$ margin on 500X leverage for a 0.04 ETH position size worth 69.54$. This gives me a 1:4.75 risk to reward ratio. If SL hits I lose 0.15$, if TP hits I gain 0.71$.

Key Lesson Learned Today:
My 3m chart gave early signal but 15m chart showed RSI was overbought at 68. I waited for 15m confirmation. Result: Price wicked to 2,320$ exactly and dumped, saving my stop loss. Always use 15m as filter for 3m triggers. Higher timeframe protects capital.
