ETH · 1H · UPTREND
The CONTINUATION from September 18 has now hit Target 1 at 2,830 — that trade is complete and I'm starting clean from the print. Price ran from the 2,567 confirmation all the way through 2,800 and the dense cluster at 2,809 before reversing hard, and it's now sitting at 2,683, pulling back into the zone between the 2,570 dense cluster below and the 2,694 dense cluster directly overhead. The daily trend is still up, the SEC headline on tokenized equities is a genuine structural catalyst for ETH specifically, and the 76% rally since late June has real momentum behind it — but price just got rejected off a significant overhead cluster and is digesting that. I'm not chasing here. The pullback from above 2,800 has been sharp and the 2,694 cluster overhead is now acting as immediate resistance, with 2,570 below as the first real floor in the derivatives map. I want to see price hold above 2,570 and give me a clean close back through 2,694 before I re-engage long — that cluster flip from resistance to support is the tell.
LONG (CONDITIONAL) SCENARIO
Confirmation
2,694
1H close above 2,694 — flips the dense liquidation cluster from overhead resistance to confirmed support; at that moment price has cleared the immediate supply and the next magnet at 2,809 comes back into play.
Invalidation
2,570
1H close below 2,570 — breaks through the dense cluster at 2,570 and opens the 2,444 zone; daily uptrend structure would still be intact but the short-term base from the recent push fails.
Target 1
2,809
The dense liquidation cluster directly above; this is where the prior push stalled and where the next stop-hunt fuel concentrates.
Target 2
2,918
The next dense cluster above 2,809; measured extension from the base of this pullback also points into this zone.
Risk/Reward
(2,809 − 2,694) / (2,694 − 2,570) = 115 / 124 → below 1.2x minimum on Target 1 alone, but the Target 2 at 2,918 gives (2,918 − 2,694) / 124 = 224 / 124 → 1.8:1 — acceptable with the cluster structure supporting the full extension
Confidence
MEDIUM — daily trend and catalyst are aligned, but the rejection from above 2,800 was aggressive and I need the 2,694 cluster to actually flip before trusting the re-entry
Resistance: 2,694 (dense liquidation cluster, immediate overhead) / 2,809 (dense cluster, prior high zone)
Support: 2,570 (dense cluster) / 2,444 (dense cluster)
