This Ethereum pullback came in pretty strong. The resistance at 3250 was already clearly observed before—once the price touched it, it dropped straight down, with a 7% decline heading directly to 3060. But looking at it calmly, there are still 5 days left until the next rate cut decision, so market sentiment could fluctuate.

Technically, if the bulls can regroup, a second attempt at 3250 is possible, and in extreme cases, it could even reach around 3400. But this expectation is based on the premise that short-term capital keeps flowing in.

In terms of strategy, I personally lean toward: holding onto long-term positions as planned without making rash moves. The day before the rate cut, you can consider gradually building short positions to hedge risks, because historical data shows there’s often a mild downtrend after the rate cut is implemented. For short-term trades, if you have floating profits, it’s wise to take them first and look for opportunities to re-enter short positions before the rate cut.

Tonight at 11 PM, PCE inflation data will be released. This indicator has a significant impact on the Fed’s decisions, so be sure to manage your positions carefully around the release, as volatility could be intense.

ZEC recently rebounded by 30%. If the price approaches the 460 range, technically shorting has a higher win rate; there’s also a minor resistance around 420 worth watching, but it’s best to enter positions in batches and not go all-in.

BCH and WLFI have dropped sharply in the past few days, with substantial short-term volatility. If you follow a set strategy, the returns can be considerable, but you must control your stop-losses.

There are always opportunities in the market—the key is to have your own trading system and discipline.

3250 really dropped hard. I knew this would happen; the technicals were signaling it. It's really hard to see the direction in these days before the rate cut. When the PCE comes out, there will probably be another round of volatility. Just hold steady for the long term and don't get scared by the short-term moves. That's what I'm doing. ZEC around 460 is indeed worth considering for a short, but don't go all in, or you'll be in trouble if your stop loss gets hit. BCH dropping this sharply actually makes me wonder if it's a bottom signal, but who knows.

3250 dropped immediately after being touched, that's really ruthless, feels like the whales are squeezing out the froth. Don't go all-in the night before PCE, history tells us that after a rate cut, it's actually a slow decline, the shorting window is right here. ZEC's 30% rebound is a bit too strong, it's definitely time to reduce positions around 460, don't be greedy.

They’ve wanted to break through the 3250 level for a long time, but it’s clearly not that easy. We’ll probably have to wait for the rate cut to really settle things. The PCE data is coming up—better stay alert tonight so you don’t get caught off guard by a dump. ZEC’s rebound this round is pretty fierce. Consider around 460, but definitely don’t go all in. Wait, does the market really tend to drift down slowly after a rate cut? Feels like this time might be different. BCH had a rough week—setting stop-losses is key. Hedging with shorts the day before the rate cut is a decent strategy, at least you can sleep better. Can we really hit 3400? The bulls will have to be pretty strong for that. Managing your position size is the most important thing—don’t do anything stupid during the PCE release.

3250 is indeed a tough barrier, but I think we still need to watch for these 5 days before the rate cut—don’t rush to bottom fish or go short. PCE tonight is very critical; positions usually shrink before this kind of data is released. That 30% rebound on ZEC looks pretty tempting, but I’m also watching around 460—it does feel like there’s a short opportunity. You really have to set stop-losses, otherwise this market can turn against you in no time and you’ll be at a loss—couldn’t agree more.

3250 is indeed a tough level, the drop was too fast, those who tried to bottom-fish in the short term probably got wrecked badly. PCE data comes out tonight, I have to keep an eye on it. I really don't dare to go in unhedged with this kind of volatility. ZEC short at 460, it's always been stable, just depends on whether the funds are willing to come in. I believe in the logic of a slow decline after a rate cut is announced, so I need to set up short positions in advance. I'll just leave my long-term positions there, mentality is the most important thing. Hold on to short-term floating profits for now, greed is the easiest way to lose. The drop in BCH this round is a bit scary, but as long as you stick to the strategy, it's not a big problem—stop-losses must be strictly enforced. The probability of touching 3400 again is actually not high, the retail investors are all scared now. That's how the market is: disciplined people make money, those without discipline lose everything. I'm also optimistic about the 420 level, building positions in batches is the safest way.

3250 dropping down is indeed a bit fierce, but this kind of volatility is normal before a rate cut—it's all just funds competing. For short-term shorts, wait until the PCE comes out before taking action, don't jump in now. I'm also watching that 460 level for ZEC. If there's some profit, just take it. If this wave can return to 3400, that'd be great, but it needs more capital to follow through. With BCH dropping this hard, it feels like setting a stop-loss is more important than anything else.

3250 rebounded immediately upon being touched, it seems the bears still have some strength. But let’s wait for the rate cut to happen before drawing conclusions—it's too early now. The PCE data looks like it might stir things up, so we need to keep an eye on it tonight. Position control is the most important thing. ZEC’s rebound is really fierce; you can consider shorting around 460, but don’t be greedy. Opening short positions for hedging the day before the rate cut is a good idea—history has indeed played out like this before. The real worry is if capital inflows don’t continue, a second bullish attempt at 3250 could end up being a castle in the air. Stick to your own system, don’t get swayed by emotions—that’s the real way to make money.
