The recent ETH market movements still require careful timing. My view is to maintain a light position strategy, controlling individual trades at 3%, not exceeding 100x leverage, and keeping the total position within 5% — this is the bottom line.

The opportunity to go long is around 2958. If the price spikes to this level, consider opening a position. Set the stop loss at 2928, and take profits gradually at 2991, 3041, and 3076.

Conversely, if the price pushes up to around 3076, short opportunities will also arise. Set the stop loss at 3106, with target levels at 3051 and 3034, and finally chase down to 2963.

At the end of the day, strong support at below 2883 is a tough nut to crack. If the price really drops, try a small long position, with a stop loss at 2853. No profit limit is necessary; let the bullets fly for a while.

Final advice: never bet heavily with a full position. Test the market with a small amount, always set a stop loss, so you won’t get trapped. Find the right opportunity before trading; otherwise, you’ll have no face to go home for the New Year. The market is right there, no need to rush.

The idea of a light position sounds good, but when it comes to the market, it's still easy to get itchy.

You really need to stay alert with stop-losses, or you'll get wiped out in one sudden spike.

I agree with keeping the position within 5% of your capital; don't risk your entire assets and suffer heavy losses.

Small positions, small positions, it's easy to say but hard to do. Damn it, I always can't resist the itch every time.

Light positions, light positions, really need to control your hands, don't go all in when you're excited.

I've heard this lightweight trading theory many times, but the key is whether it can be truly implemented. Most people just talk about it, but their hands are already fully invested.
