【Ethereum Market Analysis and Trading Ideas for January 13】

The four-hour chart of Ethereum shows a classic standoff — the price is stuck around 3130 with no movement, the Bollinger Bands are narrowing sharply, with the upper and lower bands at 3146 and 3073 respectively. What does this convergence mean? Simply put, either a breakout to the upside or a breakdown to the downside, with a trend reversal imminent. The US CPI data could be the trigger that sparks the move.

From a technical perspective, there are some signs: the short-term moving averages are stubbornly supporting around 3080, forming a support level, but although the upward trend line is still in place, its strength is clearly waning. The bulls lack the momentum to push higher. What about MACD? The DIF and DEA lines near the zero axis are already close together, with very thin momentum bars. The bulls and bears are evenly matched, and the market hasn't given a clear signal. RSI is oscillating around 50, neither overbought nor oversold, indicating a generally cautious market sentiment. Most importantly, trading volume is continuously shrinking, as funds are waiting for the final moments before the data release, lacking the momentum for a breakout.

【Support and Resistance Plans】

Downside protection: 3100 (psychological bottom) → 3070-3060 (Bollinger lower band + historical low) → 3000 (integer level)

Upside resistance: 3130-3150 (current resistance zone) → 3170-3200 (previous range top) → 3250-3300 (strong resistance zone)

【Ethereum Trading Ideas for January 13】

Consider short positions in the 3140-3150 range, with a stop-loss above 3160, targeting the support zones at 3100-3070. The premise is to wait for CPI data to confirm the trend direction, and closely monitor these key price levels during trading.
