If you want to keep up with the market trend, the key is not just watching the K-line, but understanding what the main players are doing. Looking at the current situation of Ethereum, the most likely scenario is sideways movement around 5500. On a weekly chart, three key levels are around 4000—this is also the price range where many retail investors chased in during the previous big rally.

Long contracts have already been cleared out. So where is the main force’s kill zone for shorts? Around 3800, which is a dense area of short positions. Once the main force breaks through this level and stabilizes above 4000, the upward space opens up. But don’t rush to push higher; 5500 is the most comfortable position for the main force—it can absorb the short-term profits of those who chased at 4500, and by fluctuating within this range, gradually build momentum for a larger short squeeze.

This is the rhythm of the main force. Understanding this logic is much better than just looking at the chart patterns.

Are the big players really just playing us like this, sideways trading at 5500, waiting to harvest the retail investors?

Yes, this logic is indeed correct. The main force at 5500 is comfortably digesting unrealized gains, which is the fundamental reason. --- Honestly, the most unfortunate ones are the long positions that were cleared out. Now that I understand, it's too late. --- The 3800 level is really critical. Only after breaking through can we believe it. --- The rhythm of the main force is always one step ahead of retail investors. That is fate. --- People who watch K-line charts every day never think about what the main force is thinking. Wake up. --- The idea of consolidating at 5500 to digest unrealized gains sounds comfortable, but will it really cooperate like that? --- How do the people who chased in at 4000 feel now? Just thinking about it, you know. --- Breaking through 3800 is the watershed; everything else is just a story. --- How many people can understand this set of logic? Most are still blindly watching K-lines.

The main force's move this time is truly perfect. We're just waiting for the 3800 break to clear out the retail investors' chips.
