Analyst Names Ethereum 'Kill Zone' for Optimal Buying
Ethereum (ETH) has been under heavy selling pressure in recent weeks, leaving many retail investors uncertain about when to enter the market. However, Lingrid, a TradingView crypto expert, has stepped in, pinpointing an…
TradingView analyst Lingrid says Ethereum has entered a clearly defined "kill zone" that offers an attractive entry for buyers after recent selling pressure. Her chart work shows a sharp breakdown from a large shaded wedge that flushed leveraged positions and pushed ETH down to roughly $2,070. That leverage purge, she argues, cleared retail overexposure and set the stage for a structural recovery.
Crucially, ETH has held just above a long-term rising macro support line, which Lingrid interprets as evidence a structural low may be in place. From that base she maps a recovery path that aims to reclaim the broken structure and push toward a primary target of about $2,300.
Her recommended accumulation zone—the so-called kill zone—sits between $2,100 and $2,135. For risk management she suggests a stop-loss near $2,040. Lingrid also warns traders against shorting the breakdown: retail sellers have been exiting around the broken wedge, often overlooking the stronger macro trendline beneath it, which can trap momentum-driven shorts.
On-chain and market context support her view of discreet buying beneath the surface. According to the analyst, institutions are quietly using the $2,100 liquidity area to accumulate spot exposure (including ETFs) at lower prices. She notes a recent uptick in institutional staking and inflows, which complements the accumulation narrative and raises the odds that a bounce could be amplified once demand reasserts itself.
Fundamental improvements add to the bullish case. Mainnet gas fees have fallen to roughly 3 gwei following optimizations tied to the Pectra upgrade, easing a prior headwind and improving network economics.
Lingrid also points to broader macro turbulence earlier in the week—policy shifts at the central bank helped trigger a market-wide pullback—but argues that the engineered sell-off has largely done its job: squeeze out weak hands and provide institutions the chance to buy lower.
Bottom line: Lingrid believes the recent leverage flush created an opportunity window between $2,100–$2,135 to accumulate Ethereum, with a stop near $2,040 and an initial upside target around $2,300 if the structure is reclaimed. Traders should weigh position sizing and risk management against the possibility of further volatility, but the analyst sees the setup as a high-probability buy zone for a near-term recovery.
