Sharing a short-term trading idea for Ethereum.

Consider shorting at the 2983 level, using this point as the main entry reference. Set the stop loss at 3036, mainly to control the risk of an upward breakout.

For take-profit strategy, it is recommended to handle in batches: first close 50% of the position at 2913 to lock in profits, and keep the remaining 50% as a breakeven stop-loss order to continue holding, leaving room for further downside. This way, you can secure profits while avoiding missing out on subsequent market movements due to early exit.

Overall, it is a typical risk management approach—controlling unilateral risk while preserving the possibility of expanding gains.

I like the tactic of taking partial profits in batches, just worried about trembling hands and closing everything early haha

I like this profit-taking in batches logic, just worried that when it really hits 2913, I'll start hesitating again.

2983 short position? That level is indeed risky and easily smashed through. The idea of taking profits in batches is good, but I'm worried the market might reverse and break through your stop-loss.

2983 short position? This level seems a bit shaky, feels like it can't break 3036

I'm also watching the 2983 short position, but I still feel that this rebound isn't over yet... Taking 50% profit lock-in is a good idea, just worried that the remaining half might be washed out when it turns around.

2983 short position entered. If it breaks 2913, it will be comfortable. The remaining half position will then benefit from the subsequent downward dividend.

According to the risk exposure model in the white paper, this strategy is full of flaws—there are unresolved issues with incentive incompatibility. First, regarding the 50/50 partial liquidation approach, from a Tokenomics perspective, the assumption is that market liquidity remains constant. However, in reality, depth decay leads to accumulated slippage, and data has already confirmed this. It is worth noting how strong the support at the 2913 level actually is—how much on-chain confirmation does it have? Quoting Vitalik's view on market structure, this kind of unilateral short-selling governance logic is essentially betting on a single factor, and the risk sensitivity is not as low as you might think.

Shorting 2983 sounds good, but I'm worried it might turn out to be one of those situations where things sound nice but actually go the opposite way.
