#ETHTrendWatch $ETH 2025-12-26, after nearly three days of narrow box fluctuations, today is the expiration of options. It is recommended that those without positions should not enter the market. Wait for the trend to stabilize after the option expiration in the afternoon before entering. Today's volatility is expected to be exceptionally intense, with constant stop-loss sweeps on both sides, especially for high leverage searches, where the win rate is almost 0. Be patient and wait for the trend to emerge before entering. Bullish profits are at 3100-3500, bearish profits are at 2900-2100, with the Point of Control (POC) at 3000. However, the issue is that 3000 cannot be reclaimed now, so volatility may be large. If the bearish pressure is insufficient and bulls start to rebound, there could be fluctuations of several hundred points. The likelihood is that it will be within the 1-300 point range. In short, do not take any chances.

Summary: For those with positions, set strict stop-losses. For those without positions, patiently observe or take a day off, and wait for the trend to determine the outcome before entering.
Box range: During the day, it may still maintain a narrow fluctuation within the 2900-2980 range, with continuous pin actions on both sides. Bulls should start attempting to break through 3000. If there are pin actions exceeding 3000, the box range will expand directly to 2850-3150, or expand a bit more to operate within 2800-3200. There are more pressure levels above, so flexible short-selling is possible. Observe where the pin closes or if there are repeated pin closes, and ensure that the stop-loss for light positions is short. Do not be rigid; if it opens, set multiple batches for profit-taking and keep pushing stop-losses to secure profits.
Long position strategy: First, wait until noon to see how the fluctuations go. I feel there will be a downward pin, so observe the support strength at 2880-2850. If 2850 cannot hold, 2800 serves as the final defense. Unless there is a sudden emergence of large volume support, it may directly waterfall. Currently, a large number of buy orders have started to accumulate around 2500-2600, so a direct waterfall to this range cannot be ruled out. In short, today’s volatility is high, be flexible, enter where there are pin closes, and ensure light positions with short stop-losses, as the risk is very high.
Short position strategy: First, observe whether there will be a rebound attempt to attack 3000-3100 before noon. The range can temporarily be viewed as 2950-3100. Observe where the rebound pin closes to decide where to lightly short. Ensure to push stop-losses and set take-profit orders in advance. Follow the dynamic stop-loss. Currently, a large number of buy orders have accumulated in the 2500-2600 range, aiming for a large profit-loss ratio. Let's see if it can directly waterfall down.
