Recently, Ethereum's performance has clearly outperformed Bitcoin, showing a leading rally pattern. After consecutive bullish closes, the price has effectively broken through the previous consolidation range, with upward space gradually opening up. This is a positive signal worth paying attention to.

From a short-term perspective, the 3050 to 3080 range has become the first key support level. Whether this support can hold directly determines the subsequent trend pace. If the support holds, a pullback could present a new buying opportunity; if the support is broken, a reassessment of the strategy is necessary.

On the technical side, the price has approached the upper band of the Bollinger Bands, increasing the risk of chasing the high. A wiser approach is to wait for a reasonable pullback before entering, which will offer a better risk-reward ratio.

Specifically, one can look for long entry opportunities in the 3060 to 3090 range, with stop-loss set below 2980. If the trend progresses smoothly, short-term targets can be set at 3220 and 3300.

The overall logic is clear: the leading rally structure is established, and as long as the pullback does not break the key support, the outlook remains bullish. The rising expectations of Fed rate cuts also add some imagination space to the crypto market.

Wait a minute, chasing the Bollinger Bands upper band position is really risky, gotta be cautious. --- I need to keep a close eye on the 3050 key support; if it breaks, I must cut losses decisively. --- Ethereum's leading rally structure is established, but I'm still a bit nervous about jumping in now. --- The rising expectation of interest rate cuts depends on what the Federal Reserve says in the end. --- The target of 3220 still feels a bit far; let's see how it reacts when it retraces to 3060. --- If this wave of market fails to hold support, I'll just exit directly; there's no need to hold on stubbornly. --- The Bollinger Bands upper band is so tight, the risk-reward ratio isn't very favorable, so I'll wait a bit. --- Ethereum is really outperforming Bitcoin this time, it's quite interesting. --- Technical analysis is clear, but in actual trading, unexpected variables always come up. --- Enter at 3090, stop loss at 2980, I'll study this plan further before deciding.

Is 3050 really such a solid key support? It feels like it might break easily. Wait, you said the pullback is a buying point... So chasing the high now is just gambling? Ethereum has indeed been strong this wave, but pushing up against the upper Bollinger Band—that's really bold. Can the expectation of interest rate cuts really sustain this high, or is it just another sign of being cut again? 3300 is just a dream, let's first hold the 3050 support.

The trend of this ETH does have some potential, but you still need to be cautious around the upper Bollinger Band. Wait for a pullback before entering; I really don't want to get cut. If the 3050 level is broken, just exit immediately—there's nothing more to say. The rate cut expectation is a positive signal, but don't be overly optimistic; institutions may have already been lurking. I'm still on the sidelines, not in a rush to buy.

This time ETH really has some potential, feels like it's about to take off. If I can't hold the 3080, I'll cut my losses and run; I don't want to be trapped again. Wait for a pullback before chasing; chasing high is just giving money to the big players. The rate cut expectations are indeed exciting, but don't be fooled.

The upper Bollinger Band chase is indeed easy to fall into traps. This time, the pullback mechanism is well-designed, and the entry zone between 3060-3090 offers an interesting risk-reward ratio.

Wait a minute, if 3050 can't hold, it's really the end. It's hard to say whether we can hold on this time. ETH's recent rally is a bit questionable; it feels like the Federal Reserve's expectations have been overly hyped. The upper band of the Bollinger Bands is already close; are you still chasing? Are you out of your mind? Pullbacks are the right move. The 3300 target is a bit optimistic; I might actually eat cereal live if it reaches that. This wave of market movement always feels like something's missing. Why is Bitcoin still so weak?

Really, ETH's recent momentum is super comfortable, feels like it's finally got some leading star vibe --- If I can't hold onto the 3080, I'll admit defeat. I've been mentally prepared for this --- Chasing the upper band of the Bollinger Bands? Bro, you're asking for trouble. Or wait for a pullback before acting --- We can't get enough of the Federal Reserve's juice, don't overthink it --- Talking about 3220 and 3300 easily, but the key is whether we can avoid turning downward first

ETH this wave is really fierce, feels like it's going to explode --- If 3050 can't hold, I'll escape, I don't want to be trapped --- Bollinger Bands touching the upper band is a signal, it's time to act --- Rebound to 3060 to enter a long position, should I follow, everyone? --- The Federal Reserve's recent actions are really effective, crypto trading is hopeful again --- I'm optimistic about 3300, but chasing high now is a bit timid --- Are support lines reliable? Last time, 3050 was broken through --- Waiting for a pullback is the right move, greed has caused many to lose --- The ETH vs. Bitcoin situation has been obvious for a long time, everyone reacted too slowly --- Stop-loss at 2980, I set it, let's see how fate will play out

Same old story, if the 3050 can't break, I'll just liquidate everything directly.
