Since the direction has been determined, actions must follow. Starting from the dip to around 3000 after the drop from 1011, we have been accumulating ETH. The position we have built up is now among the top long positions in the industry. Using a dollar-cost averaging strategy to gradually build up the position, we are not too concerned about fluctuations of a few hundred dollars.

We are optimistic about the 2026 market, especially the surge in the first quarter. With such a large position, it’s difficult to precisely enter at the lowest point—honestly, we don’t have that ability. The key issue now is that the market structure is somewhat distorted, with overly inflated bearish narratives. The open interest in futures has hit new highs, and some exchanges’ futures volume even exceeds their spot volume. What does this mean? Leverage funds have become the main force influencing prices.

There are always lower points, why rush to go all-in? --- Contract hitting the limit, leverage reigning, this is the signal to sell on the rebound. --- DCA sounds decent, but honestly it's just betting that the market won't crash again. --- Waiting until 2026? I only look at history, and it often crashes to places you wouldn't expect. --- Human nature, always wanting to buy the dip, ending up catching the biggest drop. --- Stacking positions is less important than stacking patience. At this position… hmm. --- Leverage trading, retail investors getting sacrificed, an old story that never gets old. --- Just hearing about precisely bottoming out is enough, no one has actually achieved it. --- Is the bearish narrative exaggerated? I think the bullish fantasies are the ones overdone. --- Sell on the rebound, replenish in the bear market, this is the way to survive.

Hmm... The drama of contract liquidation is coming again. It’s always like this—leverage traders playing with fire and burning themselves. Dollar-cost averaging is indeed stable, but it tests your mentality. Only those who can withstand the pullback are the winners. The bears shout until they are hoarse, while the bulls absorb the chips. Ultimately, who wins depends on the subsequent trend. This position... If it can’t be pulled up in Q1 2026, brothers will probably feel pretty anxious. Contract volume surpasses spot, what does that mean? Leverage funds in the market can’t run away; a liquidation is just a domino effect. Precise bottom fishing? Don’t be funny. I don’t have that ability either—just stacking in bit by bit. From 3000 to now, ETH really didn’t have a good entry point this round. Dollar-cost averaging actually makes me feel more at ease. With such a large position, you really need to be more Zen; otherwise, watching K-line every day will drive you crazy.

Dollar-cost averaging is the way to go. The fluctuations of a few hundred yuan are not worth paying attention to. The key is to hold until the first quarter of 2026.

Bro, this dollar-cost averaging strategy is really solid. Eating from 3000 until now definitely requires some resolve. If that wave really hits in Q1 2026, it would be awesome.

Bro, your move is pretty aggressive. Starting from 3000 and eating up to now, dollar-cost averaging really is the safest way to go. Wait, is the contract volume exceeding the spot volume? This leverage funding is playing with fire, one black swan and it could be a liquidation wave. I'm also optimistic about Q1 2026, but we need to watch out for these large contract holders dumping. Honestly, I don't have as big a position as you do, just small retail investors buying the dip, following the big players and eating the soup. Dollar-cost averaging is really much more comfortable than watching the market and monitoring fluctuations all day. A few hundred bucks of fluctuation, I don't even look at it. The narrative of a bearish trend expanding is true, but the fact that leverage funding is acting like a whale is a bit scary. I always feel like a wave of sell-offs could come at any time. Your position is quite aggressive, you just need to have mental preparation. If there's a pullback, don't panic.

Dollar-cost averaging is the least brain-intensive way to invest; fluctuations of a few hundred dollars are indeed not worth watching the market every day. Wait, the contract volume exceeds the spot volume? That’s quite concerning; a liquidation caused by leverage could directly break through. 2026 is definitely an opportunity, but the structural risk is a bit high; it's better to be cautious. From 3000 to now, it takes a strong mental resilience to endure. I agree that the bearish narrative is overdone, but I’m just worried about a sudden black swan event.
