Looking at Ethereum's real-time market, the current price is around $3298. Technically, the Bollinger Bands have narrowed, and according to the usual rhythm, there is a high likelihood of a breakout within the next 12 to 24 hours. This is a noteworthy time window to watch.

From the support levels, the $3266 and $3200 lines are still relatively solid defenses. If you are looking upward, the resistance levels at $3360 and $3400 are quite obvious.

Let's discuss two strategies. If you are a conservative trader, consider entering gradually within the $2750 to $2800 range, and wait for the volatility to fully play out before gradually adding positions. If your style is more aggressive, then wait until the price breaks above $3360 before cautiously following in, and never be greedy.

No matter which approach you choose, remember two key points: strictly control your position size and set a proper stop-loss. This way, even if your judgment is wrong, your losses will be limited to a tolerable range.

The Bollinger Bands are narrowing, which indeed makes it prone to false moves, but the direction of this breakout still feels a bit uncertain. The 12-24 hour window is too narrow.

The Bollinger Bands are narrowing? That means a big move is coming. I need to keep an eye on this 12-hour window for the bet.

Is the Bollinger Bands narrowing? I'm very familiar with this trick; the probability of a breakout within 12 hours is indeed high.

Is the Bollinger Band narrowing? This market feels like we should wait and see, don't rush to jump in. --- At the 3298 level, don't rush in, wait for a breakout, there are plenty of opportunities anyway. --- It's about being both cautious and aggressive, that's correct, but it all feels prone to reversal. --- Damn, waiting from 2750 to 2800? That could take forever. --- Stop-loss levels are easy to talk about, but when it comes to actually cutting losses, no one can do it. I am the same. --- Resistance at 3360? Said the same last time, and a big bearish candle just broke right through. Sometimes technicals are just nonsense. --- I respect the position control—at least this guy didn't go all-in, which is more conscientious than those signal providers. --- Is the Bollinger Band narrowing? People say that every day, and then?

Bollinger Bands narrowing signal, 12-hour launch window? I bet it will come, but the prerequisite is to hold the 3266 defense line, otherwise it's all for nothing. Is the fuel loaded? Don't wait until breaking 3360 to react, by then it will have already taken off. Proper position control is the real key; setting stop-loss too loosely is the same as not setting it at all. This is my blood and tears lesson. Risk management > prediction accuracy; this is the truth I’ve realized over the past two years. Starting to see Bollinger Bands compression again, but this time it feels strong enough. Watch the 24-hour mark.
