Ethereum Futures Market Context and Directional Bias

Ethereum futures are trading near 3,972. According to today’s tradeCompass, traders should watch the 3,866 to 3,876 range very closely. A dip to 3,866 followed by a move back above 3,876 would confirm a bullish activation. If this reclaim happens, the bias turns bullish and traders can look for long opportunities.
If price fails to hold above 3,876, the market remains neutral or range-bound for now. The bearish scenario becomes active only if price falls below 3,800, which is relatively far from the current market and would require patience.

Ethereum Futures Key Levels and Partial Profit Plan for Today

Bullish Threshold: Activation if price dips to 3,866 and reclaims 3,876
Bearish Threshold: Activation only below 3,800

Partial Profit Targets:

• 3,925: First partial exit (20 percent) at nearby liquidity area

• 3,947.5: Second partial exit near local high-volume node

• 4,038.5: Third partial target at a round number magnet

• 4,118: Fourth target just under the Value Area High of October 15

• 4,355.5: Final target below the Point of Control from October 9

If price instead turns bearish and moves below 3,800, first support and partial profit zone is 3,807, while the deeper swing target sits at 3,555.

Ethereum Analysis Background

In recent sessions, ETH price has consolidated in a tight range, creating a potential springboard for a directional move. A reclaim of the 3,876 level would likely confirm that buyers absorbed short-term pressure and are ready to push toward higher resistance levels mapped by tradeCompass.

Educational Section: Understanding the Reclaim Strategy

The reclaim strategy helps traders avoid premature entries. It waits for price to test and then recover a key level. In this Ethereum example, the 3,866 test and reclaim of 3,876 confirms genuine buyer strength before committing to a long position. This method filters false breaks and improves risk control.

Trade Management Rules under tradeCompass

• Take one trade per direction per setup.

• After reaching TP1 of, by default, TP2, move the stop to entry to protect remaining positions.

• Place your stop just beyond your activation side with a small buffer.

• Never set a stop beyond the opposite threshold.

• Confirmation by reclaim or retest is valid; for today’s ETH setup, the reclaim confirmation is preferred.

How to Use the tradeCompass Map for Ethereum

TradeCompass provides a map, not a forecast. If Ethereum price hovers near a bullish line but fails to hold above it, traders can use that weakness for short setups back to the range. If the price breaks and sustains below the bearish threshold, the move signals a deeper bearish stage. Partial profit-taking on both sides helps secure progress while managing risk.

For some context, Lecornu won the crucial support of the Socialist Party in the National Assembly earlier this week after promising to suspend president Macron’s unpopular pension reform. And that is what’s keeping his odds of staying alive here.
