#数字资产市场动态 $ETH The current situation is interesting. As the year-end sprint approaches, Ethereum has been bouncing between 2880 and 3080 over the past week. After such a long consolidation, 2026 is just around the corner. What’s the next direction?

In previous years, January’s market usually surges all the way up, but can this pattern be repeated this year? Honestly, no one can be certain.

From a technical perspective, ETH has tested the 3060-3080 resistance twice but failed to break through. Why? Because the pressure here is very strong. A lot of funds are taking profits and locking in gains, while retail investors are also offloading their holdings, so no one is stepping in to push higher. Market sentiment is somewhat pessimistic — most people don’t believe ETH can smoothly break through 3100 and 3200 levels.

Looking at the support below, the 2900-2880 zone is quite solid. Multiple attempts to push down have failed to break it. Clearly, big funds are defending this level aggressively. As long as this line holds, ETH still has a short-term chance to rebound and challenge the 3000 mark. If it really breaks below, then it will likely test the bottom around 2800-2780.

Recently, large holders in the community have been continuously accumulating more ETH. Is this a signal? The US stock market opens tonight, and this window is very critical. Funds tend to position themselves before the New Year’s Eve. Whether the US stocks can drive the crypto market to turn around depends on the next few hours. Whether this range-bound market can end all depends on this move.

Breaking 3080 really feels frustrating, it seems big players are holding their ground here, retail investors have already left. Waiting for the US stock market to open and see if it can set the tone, otherwise we'll be stuck here until nightfall. If this 2880 level is really broken, we need to prepare to drop to 2800, I'm a bit worried. Big players are aggressively adding positions, is this smart money or just taking over? Not really willing to follow. According to the usual pattern, January should surge, but this year's market feels a bit off. Above 3100 is too difficult, let's see if we can stabilize at 3000 first. Pre-positioning funds before the New Year, but why does the market sentiment feel so pessimistic? Breaking the defense line? Then we need to test the bottom, but no one has managed to break through 2880, indicating there are still bullish investors. This wave of US stock market movement is really crucial, it will determine whether we can break free from the predicament.

Hmm... Why can't it break through 3080 here, feels like someone is guarding it fiercely. The strong support at 2880 below looks like big players still have plans. Can the US stock market open help turn the tide? Let's see how it unfolds next. Breaking 2880 is the real joke... see you at 2800 then. Big players have added positions, should I move too? On New Year's Eve, this rhythm feels like someone is lurking. Can't break 3080 nor hold the lower support, this is awkward. Honestly, it would be good if it could surge in January, let's not repeat last year. Wait... what if it really crashes below 2880 to 2780? That might be the real bottoming opportunity.

It's the same story again. Last time, they claimed to be supporting the market at 2880 very aggressively, but what happened... Now it's just going in circles there. Big investors keep adding more, but retail investors' small holdings also need to be sold off. Who knows if it's genuine market support or a trap to lure more buyers. If 2026 starts off this aggressively, I might really have to consider reducing my position.

Once the 2880 defense line is broken, the supply line will be completely cut off. I don't bet that the US stock market can save the situation; history has shown me that hidden capital is often a trap.

It's been a week since the 2880-3080 drop, what are we waiting for here? If it can't break through, there's no need to keep fussing. Will the US stock market open and save the market? I actually want to see. The big players are defending 2880, it looks like we still have to continue sideways. Breaking through 3100 isn't that easy; I might as well eat my keyboard. I'm just worried about breaking below 2880—that would really panic me.

The 2880 to 3080 drop has lasted a week, and still no one dares to buy in. What does that mean? Retail investors are still timid. Will the gamble on the US stock market opening save the day this time? Feels uncertain. Large investors are increasing their positions, but they are also defending the market... This situation is a bit strange. Can the script of the crazy surge at the beginning of the year be replayed this year? Anyway, I can't believe it. It's time to rely on luck again. How long will it take to break 3100?
