ETH just ripped 14%.

One aggressive expansion candle.
Shorts squeezed.
Timelines flipped from despair to excitement in a few hours.

That is how fast sentiment changes.

A few days ago, people were calling for sub 1.7k.
Now they’re talking about trend reversal.

Not us.

We entered at 1828.

and now?

We are up 17%.

And our options are nailing it.

Trade closed 2 days after opened on Monday. Hit our take profit.

So.. now what?

Slow down.

Let’s look at this structurally.

ETH flushed into the 1,800s.

We wicked into the lower demand zone around 1,827.
That level had been marked for weeks.

Price stabilized.
Momentum compressed.
Then we got expansion.

The move from the lows to roughly 2,060 is clean.

That is a 14% rally.

But here’s the key question:

Is this the start of a new leg up?
Or is this a relief bounce inside a larger corrective structure?

Right now, it is still a bounce.

Above current price, we have:

• 2,152
• 2,625

Those are real resistance zones.

2,152 is the first structural reclaim level.
That is where prior breakdown accelerated.

If ETH cannot clear and hold above 2,152, this is still corrective.

Below price:

• 1,990
• 1,899
• 1,827

Those are reaction and demand zones.

The 1,827 wick is important.
That is where forced selling exhausted.

But one strong candle does not erase weeks of lower highs.

They will:

• FOMO into green
• Increase size
• Remove stop losses
• Assume bottom is in

Emotionally, that makes sense.

Structurally, that is dangerous.

When markets dump hard and then rip aggressively, the first bounce is usually violent.

Why?

Short covering.
Liquidity grabs.
Positioning imbalance.

Not necessarily fresh trend continuation.

Two things.

If ETH pushes above 2,152 and holds on higher timeframes, then we can start discussing a structural shift.

If it stalls below and prints a bearish engulfing near that zone, this becomes a textbook relief rally.

Remember:

Reclaim with acceptance changes bias.
Wick and reject confirms supply.

Zoom out.

Weekly structure is still corrective.

Lower highs.
Lower lows.
Former support acting as resistance.

This pump happened after a liquidation flush.

That matters.

Reversals driven by accumulation look different than reversals driven by liquidation exhaustion.

Right now, this looks like the latter.

That doesn’t mean short blindly.

It means manage expectations.

This market is not about being right once.

It is about compounding.

Inside the Discord this week, we:

• Took a breakout at 1990
• DCA’d 1900
• Managed base entries

We didn’t predict the 14% candle.

We prepared for the zone.

That’s the difference.

Preparation removes emotion.

Emotion destroys consistency.

If ETH clears 2,152 with strength:

Next magnet is 2,625.

That is not small.

That would shift structure meaningfully.

But it must move with conviction.

Slow grind into resistance is not strength.

Fast reclaim with sustained higher lows is strength.

Watch the character of price.

If ETH fails to hold above 1,990 and rolls back under 1,899:

Then this entire move becomes a bull trap.

Liquidity grabs both sides.

And we revisit lower demand.

That is why risk management matters more than prediction.

This is where amateurs get exposed.

They see green and feel relief.

They feel like they survived.

So they size up.

Professionals ask:

Where am I wrong?
What level invalidates the idea?
What does weekly structure say?

Right now, ETH is at decision territory.

It has momentum.

It does not yet have confirmation.

Inflation came in soft.
Macro tailwind short term.
Liquidity expectations improved.

That helps.

But macro tailwinds do not instantly override structural damage.

This is why we trade levels, not headlines.

ETH just pumped 14%.

Good.

Now prove it.

Reclaim supply.
Flip resistance.
Print higher highs.

Until then, this is reaction.

Most people will chase this candle.

Most people will panic sell the next red one.

That emotional cycle repeats endlessly.

If you want to trade this properly:

You need:

• Clear levels
• Clear invalidation
• Position sizing rules
• A plan before the candle prints

That’s what we focus on inside the paid Discord.

Not hype.

Not guessing.

Structure.

Big green candles feel like opportunity.

Sometimes they are.

Sometimes they are exit liquidity.

The difference is context.

If you want the exact execution plan we’re using, the live levels, and how we’re positioning into the weekend, that’s inside the 9–5 Traders Discord.

Paid Discord gives you the full execution framework, options overlay, and real time decision making.

Do not wait until ETH is back at 2,600 to ask what happened.
