ETH breaks below the lifeline? The battle between bulls and bears at $2155 has begun

The 20% drop in ETH in a single day has caused the entire market's heart to skip a beat. As the price approaches the critical support at $2155, liquidating $300 million in long positions, and the RSI enters the extremely panic zone at 17, what we see is not just a technical breakdown but a deep test of confidence.

The core drivers are no longer purely technical:

1. A massive capital flight: $1.7 billion has flowed out of crypto funds, a clear signal of institutional voting with their feet.

2. The double-edged sword effect of ETFs: it has now become a continuous source of selling pressure, with institutional holders stopping losses.

3. The pain on corporate balance sheets: over $6.6 billion in unrealized losses means that any rebound could become an opportunity for a “cut-loss sale.”

The chessboard of large players: short positions (1,153) have significantly overwhelmed long positions (781), with an average entry price of $2,684. This means that many seasoned traders have positioned for a decline well before the peak. Their target is likely not just $2,155.

My strategy: Near $2,155, the market will inevitably experience repeated struggles and rebounds, especially with short positions having a need to cover above $2,450. However, all rebounds should be seen as opportunities to reduce positions or short before reclaiming $2,450, not as reversal signals. The true bottom structure requires time, requires volume, and much more importantly, requires the complete release of panic sentiment.

In this market winter, I can see more clearly which narratives are mere illusions and which are grounded in reality. Just like the community I closely follow, @Max Charity , its value does not depend on K-line fluctuations but comes from the new users and completed charitable initiatives it adds to the real world every week. When the bubble is pierced, real value connections will emerge.
