Honestly, even I was a bit surprised by my ETH swing trades over these three days.

Late at night on December 2, ETH was repeatedly bottoming out in the 2940-2970 range. I judged that this could be a short-term support level, so I placed a long order for 150 ETH at an average cost of 2967.53. I wasn’t too confident at the time, since overall market sentiment was still pretty cautious.

I didn’t expect the price to surge just a few minutes later. That feeling was like betting on the right card—both exciting and nerve-wracking. I watched the price climb all the way up and ended up pocketing 7602 USDT on that trade.

The second trade was a reversal short position in the early morning. On the evening of December 4, I was watching the ETH intraday chart and noticed that trading volume was clearly declining—the price was moving up but volume wasn’t following. This kind of divergence is usually not a good sign. So, I opened a 150 ETH short at an average price of 3118.

At 3 a.m., the price plunged as expected. This trade brought in another 7932 USDT. Honestly, shorting takes more guts than longing because you’re going against the market’s momentum.

The third trade was on the evening of December 5. ETH surged again, but this time with even weaker volume—a classic bull trap setup. I went short again, average price 3091.73, and in less than two hours it broke down. I made 5716 USDT on that one.

Three trades in three days, for a total profit of over 20,000 USDT. Looking back, none of these trades was a gamble—they were all based on a combination of volume analysis, technical structure, and market sentiment. For mainstream coins like ETH, the technicals are pretty clear: as long as you patiently wait for the signal, the opportunity will come.

Of course, there’s always some luck involved, since the market is always full of surprises. But I think trading is 70% experience, 20% discipline, and 10% luck. Trading solo can be nerve-wracking; having people to review trades and watch the market with you helps keep your mindset steady.

If you’re also trading ETH or other major coins, feel free to connect. No hype or bashing, just logical and well-founded discussion about the market. Just like these three days—steady and profitable.
