▎Key Indicators and Risk Management

• MACD:

• Histogram: +1.44 | DIF (1.97) > DEA (0.53) — confirmation of the "golden cross".

• Attention: Divergence risk during growth.

• KDJ:

• J-value: 100.31 ( overbought ) — correction possible.

• Correlation with BTC:

• Holding BTC above $85,000 is support for ETH.

• The drop of BTC below $84,000 poses a risk of ETH falling to $1,830.

• Option levels:

• Maximum pain: $1,840. A drop below $1,830 could trigger liquidations of $250M+.

---

▎Positioning Rules

• Position size: ≤40% of capital | Leverage ≤2x ( reduce during high volatility ).

• Stop-loss:

• Required when closing below $1,830 or strengthening negative MACD.

• Additional inputs:

• When sharply falling below $1,820 (EMA60) — use 15% of capital for averaging.

▎Final forecast

ETH is trading in the range of $1,836–$1,855. Recommended:

• Buying on dips with low volumes.

• Selling at resistance $1,855 considering overbought conditions.
