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.
I am a crypto academician, a warrior who has always protected retail investors. I wish my followers financial freedom in 2025. Let's work hard together!
Crypto Expert: Ethereum (ETH) Latest Market Analysis and Reference (December 21, 2025)
Ethereum is currently priced at 2975, and it's 2:40 AM Beijing time. Many crypto enthusiasts are saying that the price has reached 3000 but will likely fall back to 2800. Regardless of whether it will return to 2800, it's all just talk if you haven't bought in yet. The market is currently in a period of extreme contraction, and a clear indicator is expected to emerge tonight. Whether it will provide an opportunity to buy in is uncertain. Those who haven't bought in yet can only wait for a pullback.
The daily candlestick chart before this writing shows a high of 2992 and a low of 2965, fluctuating by less than 30 points. It's consolidating below the EMA15 line at 3000. The fast line is showing signs of a morning star pattern. If the price breaks through the Bollinger Band middle line at 3050, a bullish trend will begin, targeting 3170 and the upper Bollinger Band at 3336. The KDJ indicator has formed a golden cross. The EMA trend indicator hasn't yet shown any signs of a bullish move; instead, it's showing a sideways consolidation. I don't recommend going long unless it corrects to 2800. Those already in long positions should hold.
The 4-hour candlestick chart shows a contracting triangle pattern with decreasing volatility. The MACD volume is declining, and the price is currently testing the 30-day EMA around 3960. The DIF and DEA lines are diverging, suggesting a potential pullback. The upper Bollinger Band is around 3050, the middle band around 2915, and the lower band around 2775. In the short term, watch whether the main force breaks the support at 2915. If it does, the price will likely retest the strength of the lower boundary of the trading range, presenting an opportunity to buy on dips.

Tomorrow's success stems from today's choices.

Gains and losses often occur unexpectedly. Develop the habit of strictly setting stop-loss and take-profit orders for every trade. The Crypto Academician wishes you happy investing!
