Recently, there have been a lot of inquiries in the backend about ETH price trends, with questions like "Is MACD above the 0-axis bullish?" and "Should I cut losses if the second surge fails?" appearing almost daily. It's clear that this round of volatility has confused many investors.
Actually, hidden within this oscillating market are three easy-to-fall traps. Without careful discernment, you can be harvested by whales in a matter of seconds. I call them "devil signals" because they often disguise themselves as good news to lure you in.
**First trap: MACD momentum bar volume shrinkage divergence**
Looking at the 4-hour K-line chart, the MACD white and yellow lines are indeed above the 0-axis, which is normally a decent signal. But the problem lies in the momentum bars—they're shrinking with each candle. This is called "divergence between volume and price," or in simple terms: the price is still rising, but the force pushing it up is getting weaker. It's like throwing a ball upward—even though it's still going up, its speed is slowing down, and eventually it must come down. After this signal appears, a pullback is highly likely. If you insist on chasing higher prices, you're essentially walking into a trap willingly.
**Second trap: Abnormal bid-ask ratio combined with price range lockdown**
ETH has been hovering between 3180 and 3310 recently, which looks normal with support and resistance. But the order book details are worth examining: there's a massive sell wall above 3300, only scattered buy orders below 3180, and the bid-ask ratio has been consistently negative. This isn't naturally formed by the market—it's whales "drawing boxes." They control the price oscillating repeatedly within this range, making retail investors cut losses and chase highs back and forth, gradually depleting your capital wave after wave.
**Third trap: Technical indicators rising while capital is actually fleeing**
Although the charts look decent, the real capital flows tell a different story. The direction of block trades, the movements of whale addresses, and exchange inflows/outflows—these details rarely get attention, but they often reveal more than the K-line chart.
The key now is to stay clear-headed. Don't get fixated on a single indicator, and don't bet all your chips on one direction. The market will continue to oscillate, opportunities will continue to appear, but the prerequisite is that you're still around to see the next wave.
Oh my god, it's this same trick again, the whales really have endless schemes
I'm saying, no wonder I keep getting liquidated, turns out it's all these devilish signals causing trouble
Capital is fleeing but the chart still looks good, this move is brilliant
Should have been watching whale addresses instead of staring at candles the whole time
This time I've really opened my eyes, but it's still easy to get trapped

The part about how the institution was drawing the frames really got to me. I've been looking at charts every day, but ended up getting liquidated the hardest.

It's the same old thing again, people ask about MACD every day, it's really annoying
---
The main players are still using the same old trick of drawing boxes, and people are still falling for it
---
Nobody's paying attention to the capital outflow situation, K-lines are just deceiving
---
Living to see the next wave is the real deal, this wave is really risky
---
When 3300 got smashed down, I knew something was wrong, massive sell orders piled up there
---
I didn't pay attention to MACD histogram shrinkage, no wonder I always feel weak when chasing highs
---
Rather than looking at these signals, we should ask what the whales are doing, that's the real truth
---
Retail traders are flailing around in the box, the main players are eating very comfortably
---
Not betting on one direction is well said, but I just can't control myself
