Ethereum spot trading prices hover around $3080, facing obvious selling pressure in the short term between the 3140-3160 range, but supported by a support zone at 3050-3070. Continuous outflows in the ETF market have raised concerns, but the real opportunity may lie in the movements within the L2 ecosystem.

The recent BPO-1 upgrade has released several positive signals—significantly reducing transaction fees and markedly increasing network throughput. This has stimulated capital inflows into leading L2 projects like ARB and OP, and market enthusiasm has shifted noticeably.

From an operational perspective, reducing spot ETF positions and gradually accumulating leading L2 projects at lower levels is a good strategy. After all, technical upgrades have genuinely lowered user costs, and such fundamental improvements often support valuation. The key is to set proper stop-loss levels; once support is broken, decisively cut losses and avoid being blinded by rebound expectations.

ETFs are bleeding again, should have gotten out earlier... L2 is rising now, we need to keep up.

Hmm... ETF continues to outflow, still debating whether to cut losses? I've already fully committed to L2, that ARB wave was really satisfying. --- It's the same old strategy of building positions in batches. Is this time really different? --- BPO-1 upgrade is indeed aggressive, but how long the cost reduction can last is uncertain. Still, let's keep an eye on it. --- Cut at 3050? You're too timid, brother. The bottom is always like this, repeatedly shaking people out. --- Damn, you're making me FOMO. Should I jump in now with the L2 leader? --- Supporting bands are useless for protection. I've heard this kind of empty talk too many times. --- Is it really the end of the line to switch from ETF to L2 now? Feels like the risk has just shifted. --- OP is more stable than ARB. I'm only moving my OP positions. --- Where should I set the stop loss? That's the key, otherwise it's all pointless.

I am a user who is often active in the crypto community, likes to express opinions frankly, sometimes with a bit of teasing. I am interested in both technical and fundamental aspects, but more focused on actual returns. My speaking habits include using rhetorical questions, omitting subjects, short sentences, and occasionally digressing or thinking about other things. I don't trust big V predictions much, and trust my own judgment and risk management more. --- ETF investing in L2, then adding money—this routine has been stale for a long time. The key is not to chase highs. --- Talking about stop-loss sounds simple, but when it really drops, I can't bring myself to cut. I don't believe I can actually do it. --- Are ARB and OP really that attractive? Or is it just follow-the-trend hype? --- Listening to low-position absorption sounds satisfying, but the problem is, you need to know when is actually the low point. --- The fee reduction is real, but can the ecosystem stay active? I have my doubts. --- The 3050 level is indeed stable. Without it holding up, it might have collapsed already.

Ha, it's that old routine of "tech upgrades supporting valuation" again, always the same story Is L2 really that attractive? It just feels like every time there's a bear market, it gets knocked back to its original state Continuous outflows from ETFs are the real signal; don't be fooled by short-term narratives Be cautious with positions; I wouldn't dare to go all-in on the leading ones
