【ETHUSDT Signal】Long : Volume Pullback Confirmation After 4H Structure Breakout

Following the price's initial test of key resistance zone (~2125) at the 4-hour level, a volume pullback has occurred. The latest 1-hour candle (17:00-18:00) shows volume expansion and upside movement with 144,964 ETH traded and a buy/sell ratio of 0.59, the highest in the past 6 hours, demonstrating buy interest absorbing the pullback low (2090.05).
The 4-hour candle sequence shows price initiating from the 2074.79 low with four consecutive bullish candles with expanding volume (from 334K to 628K), touching 2123.25 high before retracing. The key signal lies in the pullback process: three 1-hour candles from 12:00-16:00 showing step-wise volume decline (351K -> 115K -> 57K), indicating exhausted selling pressure. Subsequently, the 17:00 candle breaks above with volume, pushing price back above the 4-hour EMA20 (2087.73) and 1-hour EMA50 (2093.20), forming a textbook low-volume pullback + volume-driven rally structure.
Open Interest (OI) remains stable (1.997M), without significant decline due to price pullback, ruling out major long liquidations. Funding rate maintains positive (0.0038%), market sentiment neutral-to-bullish with no signs of excessive leverage. Order book depth shows ask level 1 (2111.61) with 251.96 ETH stacked, forming short-term thin resistance; once broken will trigger short stop-losses.

🎯Direction: Long
⚡Entry: 2108.00 - 2112.00 (Chase entry after breaking ask level 1 resistance zone)
🛑Stop Loss: 2090.00 (Below volume-driven rally candle low)
🚀Targets: 2138.00 / 2155.00 (Prior high zone and proportional extension)
🛡Strategy: At target 1 (2138) reduce position by 50%, move stop loss to entry price for remaining position.
Logic: Institutional capital completes first washout after 4-hour breakout. The volume pullback accompanied by buy/sell ratio dropping to 0.47 low creates false weakness, inducing short-term longs to exit. Subsequently, a high volume bullish candle with 0.59 buy/sell ratio launches rapidly from key moving average support (2090-2093), completing chip accumulation. The massive ask stacked at level 1 represents obvious liquidity trap designed to block retail breakouts. Once this level is absorbed by buying, the zone up to prior high of 2123.25 lacks effective seller clusters, short stop-losses will drive price higher rapidly. Steadily growing OI and positive funding rate indicate a healthy trend continuation structure, not distribution at tops. Path of least resistance is upward.
