From the perspective of the market maker, the period around the Spring Festival is the most popular—this is when a wave of induced buying is most likely. Instead of slowly oscillating, it's better to directly push the price up so participants can profit. The problem is that those who were trapped at the high of 3800 a few months ago haven't exited yet, so this support level must be protected.

After several months of repeated oscillations, the cost basis for retail investors has been pushed to the 3300-3400 range, and there might even be another test at 3450. But the question here is—do we have enough time? Some are already using 6:1 leverage. If 3300 points is the kill line, then the space for movement is only 300 points. Whether the Spring Festival market will come depends on how the next moves unfold.

The market maker's move this time is old-fashioned; 3300-3400 is just a false alarm, the real drop is still ahead.

The dealer's tactics are pretty good. They baited more during the Spring Festival and did it again. The 3300 level is stretched too tight.

The dealer's move this time is brilliant. During the lively Spring Festival, they just pull a wave. Anyway, everyone is making money and everyone is happy, right? Brothers who are still stuck at 3800 and haven't escaped yet are truly remarkable. If they can't protect 3300 this time, they might have to cut losses again. 6:1 leverage traders are really trading with their lives. A 300-point buffer is gone in an instant. With time so tight, I'm really curious about how the Spring Festival performance will unfold. But on the other hand, I'm just worried that pulling up again might just be a trap, and after trapping, it traps again.

According to on-chain data, the cost accumulation at 3300-3400 is too bizarre... Repeated fluctuations gradually push retail investors' costs downward, a typical capital accumulation tactic. The group using 6:1 leverage has already become prey for chip harvesters. The 300-point buffer essentially doesn't exist. Before the Spring Festival, this wave of hype is coming. I bet 5 Ethereum that it will first dip to 3280 before rallying.

The dealer's hand is truly excellent. For the Spring Festival release, is it okay not to make a strong move with just this one ticket? --- People with 3800 sets are still in a daze. They really need a price increase this time to sleep peacefully. --- 6:1 leverage? Bro, you're playing with fire. A 300-point buffer can disappear instantly. --- Time is very tight. The Spring Festival release is coming suddenly, so you need to keep up your acting skills. --- Repeated fluctuations are just testing patience. This round really depends on how the market will dump next. --- Whether popularity is high or not doesn't matter. The key is whether the dealer wants to push up or not. If they're in a good mood, they'll push. --- The 3300 kill line setting is a bit harsh. The little guys are under a lot of pressure.

The market maker's intention to support the 3800 level is obvious. The question is, can this 300-point gap hold until the Spring Festival? Sixfold leverage players should be nervous.
