ETH Daily K + 15-Minute Precise Short-term Entry Checklist (2026-4-16)

(For contract ultra-short only, enter on the 15–60 minutes level, exit in 1–3 days)
Only follow the trend + resonance, don’t open trades blindly

 

1. First check the Daily K to determine direction (big-picture framework)

Current conclusion:

- Daily K: rebound meets resistance, tends to range-bound and relatively weak
​
- Only allow two types of actions:
1) Pullback to support and stabilize → go long
2) Rebound to the resistance level → go short
​
- Prohibited: randomly open orders around the 2300 middle position

 

2. 15-minute precise entry signals (do it directly)

【Long signal】(Use only in the 2250–2260 area)

Enter only after all 4 conditions are met:

1. Daily K: approaching the 2250–2260 support
​
2. 15 minutes: long lower shadow candle / doji / small bullish reversal
​
3. 15 minutes: MACD bottom divergence or golden cross upward
​
4. 15 minutes: no longer makes a new low

Execute long orders

- Entry: enter after stabilizing near 2260–2270
​
- Stop loss: 2230 (must exit if broken)
​
- Take profit 1: 2300 (reduce position by half)
​
- Take profit 2: 2350–2380 (exit all)

 

【Short signal】(Prefer to do it, in the 2350–2380 area)

Enter only after all 4 conditions are met:

1. Daily K: rebound into the 2350–2380 resistance zone
​
2. 15 minutes: long upper shadow / bearish engulfing bullish-candle encased by a bearish candle / rally then pullback
​
3. 15 minutes: MACD top divergence or death cross downward
​
4. 15 minutes: not rising on increased volume; volume starts to shrink and price starts to fall

Execute short orders

- Entry: enter under pressure near 2350–2370
​
- Stop loss: 2410 (if it breaks through and holds above 2400, the short must be stopped)
​
- Take profit 1: 2300 (reduce position by half)
​
- Take profit 2: 2250–2260 (exit all)

 

3. Intermediate consolidation zone (2300–2350)

- 15 minutes: price swings above and below the moving averages back and forth
​
- No divergence, no obvious candlestick signals
→ No positions at all; stay on the sidelines

 

4. Ultra-short risk control iron rule (contract survival)

1. Single-trade position ≤ 10% of total funds
​
2. Once the stop loss is triggered, don’t hold the position and don’t double down
​
3. When profit reaches the first target, you must reduce the position to prevent profit retracement
​
4. Don’t hold positions for more than 3 days; once the time is up, exit regardless of profit or loss
​
5. When BTC is falling hard, ETH long positions must never bottom-fish

 

5. One-sentence quick memo version

- Stabilize around 2250 → low buy
​
- Choppy stagnation above 2350 → high sell
​
- Intermediate consolidation → watch and wait
​
- 15-minute: divergence + candlestick signal → then act
