ETH shows weak volatility intraday, with focus on non-farm payroll data tonight. It is recommended to mainly adopt range trading with high sell and low buy, strict risk control, avoiding chasing rallies and guessing bottoms.

1. Current key data (2026.1.9 21:49)

- Current price: approximately 3110 USD
- Intraday fluctuation: 3052-3146
- Key event: US December non-farm payroll data (released at 21:30), expected new jobs 57,000-60,000, unemployment rate 4.5%, data will dominate short-term direction

2. Key levels (priority from high to low)

- Resistance: 3140-3180 (strong resistance, shorting on rebound if met with resistance); 3200-3250 (secondary resistance)
- Support: 3050-3070 (strong intraday support, try long positions if stabilized); 3000-3020 (key psychological support, break below turns to short)

3. Strategies and risk control

- Bullish strategy: stabilize after pullback to 3050-3070, volume rebound, try small long positions; target 3140-3180, stop loss below 3030
- Bearish strategy: encounter resistance at 3140-3180 with insufficient volume, try small short positions; target 3080-3050, stop loss above 3200
- Ironclad risk rule: before non-farm data release, position size ≤ 30%; strict stop loss, single loss ≤ 2% of total funds; observe 15-30 minutes after data release before acting to avoid extreme volatility

4. Non-farm payroll data response

- Data better than expected: bearish, focus on 3050 support, if broken down look towards 3000, if rebound is weak then add to short positions
- Data worse than expected: bullish, focus on breaking 3180, stabilize above to target 3200-3250, if pullback is weak then add to long positions
- Data in line with expectations: continue oscillating, operate according to range strategy

5. Precautions

- Correlation: closely monitor BTC trend, if BTC drops below 90000, ETH may also face pressure
