Ethereum's trajectory in early 2026 is worth paying attention to. As of the morning of January 3rd, ETH is quoted at approximately $3,112, with a 24-hour increase of over 4%, fluctuating between $2,987 and $3,150, showing a generally strong short-term posture.
From a technical perspective, support levels are distributed at 3060-3080 (a strong intraday support here, with EMA60 close by), 3000-3020 (the dividing line between bulls and bears, easy to weaken once broken), and a medium-term strong support at 2980-2990. Looking upward, resistance is concentrated around the previous high near 3150, a strong resistance at 3180, and the medium-term dividing point at 3200 — once this level is stabilized, the probability of continuing strength increases.
If you want to participate, a low-risk approach is as follows: during a pullback to 3060-3080, consider adding small positions in a phased manner to go long, with a stop-loss set at 3020. First target at 3110, then at 3150. For short positions, only lightly attempt on a rebound at 3150, with a stop-loss at 3180, and targets at 3100 and 3080. Regardless of the direction, keep individual risk within 1% of total funds, and follow volume confirmation for breakouts. Remember to move stop-loss to lock in profits after gains.

Once 3020 is lost, it tends to weaken again, just like the two times I got cut before, it really hurts.
Laughing and then crying, here’s another story of 1% risk control. I wonder if I can actually do it.
EMA60 is close to 3060, this data is really eye-catching, it keeps tormenting people around this level every time.
3200 is the dividing line, but I started to run before betting 5 bucks.
You can only follow the volume to make decisions, but the problem is I simply can't tell which volume is "real."
Low-risk strategies sound nice, but when it comes to critical moments, who isn’t all in?
The previous high around 3150, I remember getting buried there last time, the psychological shadow is pretty big.
Target is 3110, then see if it hits 3150. I’ve heard this rhetoric countless times, but what’s the result?
Bittersweet, everyone. It’s time to start the daily routine of stop-loss again.

3200 is a critical level. Once broken, it's really going to take off.

Breaking or not breaking 3200 is really crucial. It feels like the mindset depends on this level.

Breaking below 3200 is a bear trap, but I don't believe it will go that smoothly…

It's the same old story, buy at 3060, cut at 3020, hearing it so often that my ears are getting calloused. However, this wave of ETH is indeed a bit interesting; it all depends on whether the volume matches up.

Feeling like 3200 can't be broken, still can't find a way out.

Breaking through this key level of 3200 is the only way to breathe a sigh of relief; otherwise, it's all just bluffing.

If you can't break 3200, there's no point in messing around. We all have to wait.

Once the 3200 level is broken, it will really take off. However, this move depends on whether the trading volume cooperates.

What should I do now that the 3060 broke below? Wait for a pullback or go ahead and set up a position?
