Yesterday, I helped a beginner friend sort out Ethereum position management issues, and now I want to share this approach.

The situation is as follows: he opened a short position at 2974 but wasn't sure how to proceed. My suggestion was to arrange it like this—gradually add to the position at 3029 and 3079, while setting the stop loss at 3100. The reason for this setup is because his position is relatively heavy, and risk management takes priority.

To reduce risk, I first advised him to take half profits at 2950. Then, the remaining positions were to be closed at 2920 and 2890 respectively. Last night, the spot market experienced a sharp correction, hitting the third take-profit target precisely, and he successfully closed all positions profitably.

The current issue is that the overall market sentiment is extremely cautious, with many traders chasing gains and then getting caught in whipsaws, making it hard to find a clear trading direction. In such market conditions, the biggest risk is trading based on feelings. My advice is—when facing sector rotations and volatile markets, always have a clear plan for entry and exit, so you can respond steadily whether it's a slow bull or rapid adjustments.

$ETH is currently testing key support levels repeatedly, with short-term opportunities and risks coexisting.

Damn, this move is really solid. Taking profits in batches is just leaving yourself a way out.

Bro, this method of taking profits in batches is really perfect. I'm just worried that beginners might get greedy and chase the high, only to get crushed back. --- Hey, isn't that 2890 position a bit tight? It feels like the fluctuation range is a little small. --- Still the same advice: as long as you have a plan, it's fine. Don't fear slow progress, only fear chaos. --- It's really hard to operate now. A bunch of friends around me are exhausted from this kind of volatility. --- Wait, is this support level reliable? It still feels like the risk is pretty high. --- With the market so complicated, I think it's better to earn less than to make reckless moves. --- The halving profit-taking strategy is pretty good, especially when holding a heavy position. That's how you should play. --- The problem is that most people simply can't change their habit of placing orders based on feelings. --- The stop-loss at 3100 is a bit aggressive, isn't it? --- That adjustment last night definitely gave an opportunity. It all depends on who reacts quickly.
