I looked at the market data, and BTC's pullback after this round of breakthrough has provided quite a few opportunities. On the ETH side, around 3009.76, I tend to look for a reasonably priced position to try a long order.
Specifically, the small stop-loss can be placed around 2980 to 2985, in which case the risk-reward ratio is acceptable. However, we need to be cautious that BTC has already broken through, and the risk of continuing upwards — if that is the case, we might get tricked into a false breakout.
Conversely, if this round of BTC is a false breakout, the probability of ETH following with a drop is quite high, so they would fall together. However, logically speaking, the cost-effectiveness of going long at this position is better, so I will still place a stop-loss and try a long order.
If it really breaks below 2960, consider going short on the second rebound later, which can also help compensate for the previous stop-loss orders. Lastly, a reminder to pay attention to risk management — when encountering a sudden increase in volume with a bearish candle, remember to withdraw orders or adjust strategies in a timely manner.

This logic is a bit convoluted, but the stop-loss points are set quite tight, feeling a bit aggressive.
Fake breakouts are indeed annoying; I was fooled once before.
If 2960 breaks, then go short to compensate? I like this idea, but it depends on the rhythm.
That volume spike with a bearish candle, immediately run—good reminder.
ETH at this price level is quite interesting; I also want to get in.
Just worried that BTC might pull some tricks and trap us inside.
Risk management is not compromised; I can trust this.

The stop loss is set well, just afraid that this BTC wave is just a fleeting illusion.

The stop loss is set tightly, just afraid of getting smashed through.

Hmm, the stop loss settings are quite detailed, just afraid of changing my mind at the last minute.
Wait, will 2960 really break? It feels a bit precarious this time.
Take the opposite position and shorting to cover losses sounds easy, but it's hard to do, bro.

Well, this market trend really makes it easy to step into a pit.
---
The stop loss is set very meticulously, but I'm just afraid of a sudden plummet.
---
I'm taking a gamble and trying long, as long as the risk control is solid, there's no need to panic.
---
False breakouts are something no one can predict; I'm just going with the flow.
---
The key is still to watch the market; leaving it alone to sleep can really lead to problems.
---
I agree with this logic; the cost-performance ratio is indeed here, so let's go for it.

That defense line at 2960 must be held; if it breaks, it's really game over.
