Weak Bounce, More Pain for ETH

ETH bounced from 1557 but the rally is unconvincing. The same pattern that led to a record selloff in other markets is showing up here. I'm short ETH targeting 1520.

ETH Short Setup

ETH hit a local top near 1638, then dumped to 1557. The bounce to 1578 is weak and volume is fading. This mirrors the structure I saw before a massive selloff in other markets. I'm biased short until we break below 1557.

I'm short ETH at 1578, stop at 1638 (above the recent high), target 1520. That's a solid 1:1 risk/reward. If this bounce fails, the next leg down could be fast.

Interesting observation on the pattern repeat. 📈 The 1557 support held, but volume on this bounce is low—without a strong catalyst, a retest of 1520 feels more likely than a reversal.

Been burned by too many false dawns in this market. If 1520 breaks, next stop is 1400. Stick to the plan.

Interesting timing—if that same pattern keeps repeating, doesn't it suggest we might see a deeper flush before any real relief? 🤔 I'd be watching whether volume picks up on the next leg down to confirm exhaustion.

Agree on the weak structure. Volume on that bounce was 30% below the 20-day average, and open interest keeps dropping. Sub-1520 looks likely unless we reclaim 1580.

Short ETH here aligns with the broader risk-off rotation I'm seeing across alts. The 1520 target is clean—tight risk above 1580 for a 3:1 reward. I'd tighten stops if we reclaim 1570.
