Ethereum is once again at a critical entry point around 3097. If the error margin does not exceed 5 points, my plan is to go directly in, using 20x leverage to allocate 10% of the position and give it a try. The stop loss is set at 3077, which means that in the worst-case scenario, this order will lose at most 1.2% of my total capital.

Why choose this position? There are many shorts stacked around 3090, making it a typical area of conflicting interests. The short positions are concentrated, and the bulls are repeatedly testing here. If they can hold, there is still room to go higher. The key is to operate with a narrow stop loss, so even a pullback of about 20 points is within a controllable range.

Important reminder: friends with heavy positions should not follow this; this approach is only suitable for small tests at key points. Additionally, this is just a short-term positional trading idea and does not reflect my long-term view on Ethereum. Risk management always comes first.

Bro, this 20x leverage and tight stop-loss sound reasonable, but in practice, it still depends on your market feel. Can you be decisive when 3077 breaks... After all this time, in the crypto world, it's mostly about multiples and stop-losses. I’d rather preserve capital and have the chance to earn from idle investments than get liquidated. Your approach is solid, but I’m just worried the market might not follow the usual pattern. A 10% position size is okay, but the key is that such positions often come unexpectedly. I tried once at 3100, and before I could see a rebound, it broke through directly. I lost a meal’s worth of money before I realized. Setting a 1.2% loss limit is acceptable. The biggest fear is insufficient account balance leading to forced liquidation. Be very careful with contract interactions.

Narrow stop-loss sounds good, but when actually calculated on an hourly basis, how likely is it to be repeatedly hit? In an era where miners are taking too many hits, this kind of position-holding strategy will eventually collapse.

The stop-loss at 3077 is nailed down tightly, I have to admit. Playing with 20x leverage and managing such meticulous positions is really rare.

Playing with 20x leverage on a 10% position, this move is quite prudent. The 3090 area is indeed a battleground, and the bearish accumulation is also quite evident.
