Ethereum's downside retest just played out exactly as expected, though not without drama. That $3288 resistance turned out to be the real wall—price action has been anything but smooth around these levels. Now we're sitting on the support zone between $2888 and $3057, which is holding so far. The initial bounce looks decent on paper, but here's the thing: London close could bring fresh selling pressure. Market structure suggests there's still potential downside to explore, so traders should stay nimble. Watch how price responds to that lower support band—if it cracks, we might see another leg down before any meaningful recovery.

It's the same story again, I didn't expect $3288 to get stuck [Dog Head] If the $2888 level breaks, we'll have to reset the chart, don't expect any rebound Why does every London close feel like a trap? History keeps repeating itself There are actually more opportunities to profit from shorting, how high can the APY from bottom liquidity mining go? The market is so fragmented, better to farm stablecoins and switch, it's much safer than guessing the bottom This is why I dislike technical analysis; data can be deceptive, but contract code won't lie Let's wait and see, if it really breaks down, I'll go all-in on a short Whether I can hold on or not depends on which way London's shot will go

Here comes again, the 3288 hurdle really can't be crossed no matter what --- How much longer can the support zone hold? I bet it collapses by the London close --- Still haven't explored the downside space? Damn, we're about to be cut again --- A rebound? Forget it, just wait, there will be further dips --- Is it really going to break below 2888 this time? Can't watch the market anymore --- The more you use the term "market structure," the closer you are to a major crash --- Agile? I only know how to cut losses quickly haha --- Feels like every time there's a "meaningful rebound," it drops by half first --- If 2888 can't hold, straight to 2500, I've already thought it through --- London close selling pressure? The insiders probably sold off long ago

3288 this wall is really tough, I saw it coming a long time ago It's going to dip again, feels like it's not over yet Once the support breaks, it's game over. Let's wait and see London's closing drama The rebounds are all fake, don't be fooled It will go down further, be patient and wait for the bottom This time it's really fierce, I can't hold on anymore

3288 really can't hold up anymore, if it breaks, we'll have to see if we can hold at 2888.

3288, I just can't get past this hurdle. The rhythm of harvesting the chives is tightly controlled. As soon as London opens, I fall behind again. How long can this support hold up? Just come down if you want to, anyway, the opportunity to scoop up bargains at the bottom is waiting right here.

3288 broke and still want to rebound? Dream on --- London opens again with a crash, this rebound is purely feeding the bears --- Support is gone, just test new lows directly, nothing more to say --- Rebound is just a rebound, 2888 below is the real bottom line --- Support is about to break again, I bet five bucks --- The question is, who dares to buy the dip at this level?

3288 really built a wall, the show is too intense --- The rebound looks good, but how come London opens and it drops again --- If the support band really breaks, we’ll have to dig a hole downward --- This wave of structure still has a story to tell, let’s keep observing --- Whether 2888 can hold is a question --- Being agile... sounds easy, but my fingers are about to cramp --- Another "might happen" story, just waiting to watch the show --- Is there still room below? Forget it, I’ll take it slow first --- London closing again and causing trouble, right

3288 really got stuck, this wave is frustrating... --- The rebound looks good but I just don't believe it, we need to see how London closes --- If it breaks 2888, it's game over. Get ready to buy the dip, everyone --- Again, making gestures and drawing support levels, but in the end, it still breaks through. How many times has this trick been played? --- Agile? Bro, this market makes me feel not at all agile, I just want to lie flat --- Downward space to explore... To put it nicely, it just has to fall further
