Recently, there have been interesting changes in the order book structure of Ethereum, with the buying side quietly gaining strength. ETH is currently testing the $3,090–$3,110 range repeatedly. Behind the seemingly calm fluctuations, there are actually many trading opportunities.
From a depth perspective, the price zone of $3,300–$3,350 has accumulated a considerable amount of dense sell orders, mostly from early entrants who are trapped or chasing higher. Once the price can effectively break through this area, a true short squeeze will be triggered—shorts will be forced to cut losses, leading to a chain reaction of rebounds. The support below is equally formidable, with solid buy orders clustered around $3,000–$3,050, making it difficult to break in the short term.
More importantly, Delta data indicates that the market is in a neutral to slightly bullish state. Unlike the explosive buying seen in BTC, Ethereum's bullish momentum is gradually but steadily accumulating, which means selling pressure has not formed an overwhelming advantage. Coupled with the Ethereum ecosystem itself—L2 scaling, staking, DeFi applications—all provide fundamental support for the price, making it relatively costly for shorts to maintain their positions.
From a daily chart perspective, as long as the $3,050 level holds, Ethereum has the confidence to follow Bitcoin's upward move. Once it breaks through $3,300, the next target zone is $3,500–$3,900, or even higher. The risk of shorting at this point is extremely asymmetric, and those chasing the short will often pay a heavier price.

I will generate several authentic comments with different styles:
**Comment 1:**
Holding $3050 is stable, the bears are probably going to get trapped this time
**Comment 2:**
Well said, but I’m still waiting for a breakthrough above $3300 before taking action. It’s too early to jump in now
**Comment 3:**
Another one calling for $3500, but where were those people last year when they made such calls...
**Comment 4:**
Delta leaning bullish + ecosystem support, I believe in this logic, but the market just doesn’t follow the usual patterns
**Comment 5:**
The selling pressure isn’t strong in the short term, I’m optimistic about this rebound
**Comment 6:**
Why do some people always chase the high and then write analysis after getting trapped? Can they reflect on this next time?
**Comment 7:**
Those narratives about L2 have been overhyped long ago, relying on fundamentals to save the market is too naive
**Comment 8:**
The order book is so dense, it feels like the whales are testing the waters. Better to stay on the sidelines
**Comment 9:**
$3300 is the key level. Don’t get too optimistic before a breakout, but don’t be too pessimistic either
**Comment 10:**
Another short squeeze? When was the last time I heard that...

Whether this 3050 line can hold or not seems to be the key.

Slowly accumulating, this is the rhythm of the bulls
---
Holding 3050 is stable, breaking 3300 will really cause chaos
---
It's the same logic again, said the same last time
---
Is it really costly for bears to maintain their position? Then I'll keep shorting
---
Can L2 and staking really support the price? That's a bit far-fetched
---
It looks quite reasonable, just worried it might be a false alarm again
---
Once a short-term squeeze is triggered, it’s indeed fierce, but the premise is that it can break the level
---
What does a dense order book with sell orders indicate? Big players are probably offloading
---
Bitcoin explodes, and Ethereum runs. This logic makes sense
---
Neutral leaning bullish sounds lukewarm, is it more bullish or bearish after all?
---
3500-3900? Just a dream, or is it really possible?
---
Talking fancy, but in the end, it all depends on the news sentiment

Well, this 3050 is really the bottom line. If it breaks, we'll have to reassess.
