Japan's interest rate hike cycle has settled, and the recent rebound in BTC can illustrate the issue— the sense of oppression in the market has finally been released. However, ETH is not so straightforward. At the $3000 level, many are watching it, fearing to miss out, yet also afraid of a high surge followed by a drop to catch a falling knife.

In fact, the market itself is not that absolute. It's not a simple choice between rising or falling, but rather a constant tug-of-war between resistance and support.

Looking at the current trend of ETH, 3000 is indeed a place of accumulation, but the real battleground may be in the range of 3150-3200. Conversely, around 2800 has held the lower side. If you clarify this structure, it is not surprising that prices repeatedly test these positions. For swing traders, this is precisely the opportunity—there's no need to guess the big direction, just enter and exit within a clear range, and the imagination space opens up instantly.

It sounds stable, but this method has a major flaw: in a high-volatility environment, a single black swan-style reverse impact can penetrate even the most cautious stop-loss. The accumulated profits can disappear in an instant. Not to mention the funding rate under increased leverage, which is a continuous real monetary cost that even the smallest position cannot withstand in the long run.

So the way experienced traders play is like this - while chasing opportunities in the market, they allocate a portion of their asset pool to a "stable buffer." This is not only to hedge against risks, but more importantly, to leave some reserves during times of market uncertainty, allowing them to continue waiting for more certain opportunities.

Trading mainstream cryptocurrencies like ETH and ZEC in a swing trading manner is one approach, but when the positions you hold are repeatedly washed by market sentiment, merely having a swing strategy is not enough. At this time, a liquidity option that can maintain value stability becomes particularly important—it allows you to avoid being tied down by short-term price fluctuations and enables you to act at critical moments. This is also why more and more traders are beginning to focus on allocating stable assets within their trading systems, especially decentralized, over-collateralized stablecoin solutions, which can provide that "buffer" effect for your portfolio during high volatility periods.
