Recently, all the questions from our backend have been centered around one topic: "Should we buy the dip on Ethereum?" "Is it too early to enter now?" I understand everyone's urgency, but seeing these questions pop up frequently, I need to pour some cold water on it.
It's a fact that Ethereum has rebounded at key demand zones and its price structure is improving. The problem is—rebound exists ≠ bottom established. These two are worlds apart.
Let me use an analogy: when a person falls, if they manage to prop up their upper body and stop sinking further, that's called "stabilizing." But going from stabilized to truly standing up and running again requires a long recovery period. Ethereum is now stuck at this "stabilizing the body" stage. And precisely because we're at this critical point, it's easiest to fall into two traps.
**Trap One: Bottom Illusion**
The support at the demand zone looks solid, but essentially it's just "temporary buyers stepping in," not "a permanent bottom." Once overall market sentiment weakens or some negative news suddenly hits, this demand zone could be broken through. Plus, Ethereum hasn't broken through the key resistance at 3300 yet. Before a true breakout, any rebound is essentially just a technical recovery within a downtrend. Rushing in recklessly could end up getting trapped halfway up the mountain.
**Trap Two: Lowering Your Guard**
Structural improvement naturally makes people relax and think "the risk shouldn't be that big now." But that's precisely the most dangerous moment. Whether buying dips or chasing rallies, risk management always comes first—this iron law never changes across any market cycle.
