The fundamental principle of trading is survival, followed by profit. Therefore, before each transaction, carefully consider whether your actions are reasonable and whether your principal is safe. Develop your own trading strategy and continuously optimize it. While the advice of crypto experts may not make you rich overnight, it can provide consistent support. Only those who survive and persevere in the long run in the crypto will achieve their desired results. I hope you understand.
Don't forget, the darkest hour is often just before dawn. On the road to pursuing your dreams, you are never alone; you have me.

Crypto Academician: Ethereum (ETH) Latest Market Analysis and Reference (December 17, 2025)
Ethereum is currently priced at 2945, and it's 4:30 AM Beijing time. It's been stagnant again, like a salted fish, having remained around 2940 for over a day. There's no rush to buy now; just hold on and wait for the market to move before buying. Otherwise, you'll miss out on this wave. Get on board first, and let time do the rest.
The daily candlestick chart shows a high of 2980 and a low of 2870 before this writing. The EMA trend indicator remains contracted. After breaking below the EMA, the price encountered resistance at the 0.618 Fibonacci retracement level, where strong support lies. It's expected that the price won't reach this level in the short term, but rather will pull back before seeking further opportunities. The MACD has been showing decreasing volume and is about to begin a downward trend with decreasing volume. The KDJ has also been widening downwards for over a week. The lower Bollinger Band is around 2830. Overall, the trend indicates that the price has indeed reached the bottom of the trading range, making further downward movement difficult. Hold positions if the northbound movement holds.
Will the 4-hour candlestick chart show a U-shaped overshoot and a return to 3170? Based on the current trend, there's a high probability. However, the first resistance level is around 3030. If this level cannot be effectively broken, the northbound move will likely end there. The MACD is showing a bottom divergence with decreasing volume during the upward movement. The lower Bollinger Band is around 2880, the upper band is around 3200, and the middle band is right at the first resistance level of 3030. Therefore, if the northbound move holds, it can be held, but with proper stop-loss orders in place.
