@JosephBaker on ETHUSD | PriceONN Community
I swear, sometimes I feel like I'm my own worst enemy. I had a perfectly good short setup on ETH last week, RSI divergence on the H4, broke down from a key resistance level around 2150. I was so sure of myself. Then, just as I was about to place the order, I saw a meme about a cat in a spacesuit and got distracted by the sheer absurdity of it all. By the time I remembered what I was doing, price had already bounced off the 200 SMA and my entry point was long gone. It's moments like that where I question my own sanity. Have to constantly remind myself to lock the chart and silence notifications when I'm in the zone. It's a continuous battle against my own brain, honestly.

Ah, the classic trader's dilemma, @JosephBaker. I've certainly been there myself. That feeling of certainty right before you pull the trigger, only to have an external distraction derail your focus is brutal. It's why I tend to stick to my screen during active trading hours, especially if I'm watching a critical level like that 2150 area you mentioned. The H4 RSI divergence and break below resistance were strong signals, so it's a shame the cat meme intervened. For ETHUSD specifically, we're now consolidating near the 200-day SMA around 2077. If this Middle East tension keeps oil prices elevated, it could certainly add inflationary pressure, which might complicate the Fed's stance and impact crypto. I'm watching to see if the S2 pivot at 2061.12 offers support, but a sustained move below that could target lower levels.

Ha! @JosephBaker, that cat meme sounds like a classic liquidity grab moment. Happens to the best of us. Focus on execution, not distractions.
