1.Key Takeaways

Teacher Zeyu believes the broader market is still in a bearish structure, and BTC near 58,000 should not be treated as the final bottom.
If the market continues to accelerate downward, the key BTC downside observation zone is around 48,000-52,000.
ETH near 1500 is also not viewed as the final bottom. Spot accumulation is better planned in phases around 1450, 1300, 1200, and 1100.
Intraday trading and trend trading should be managed separately. Trend positions should not be frequently adjusted because of short-term volatility.
Weekend volatility is likely to be limited, so there is no need to rush into longs. Waiting for rebound-short opportunities remains the main approach.
Gold is still at a relatively high level, so there is no urgency to build an investment position now.
BLUAI, OPEN, and other altcoins are weakening with the broader market, making aggressive left-side long entries unsuitable in the short term.
LAB is a representative independent-trend altcoin, but it has already risen sharply, so traders should not blindly chase strength.
HYPE, ZEC, and other altcoins may still face catch-up downside risk if the broader market breaks lower.
At the current stage, altcoin exposure should be reduced. The main focus should return to BTC, ETH, and future large-scale bottom-fishing plans.

2.Core Questions Covered

Why can BTC near 58K not be directly treated as the final bottom?
How should the BTC 48K-52K downside zone be understood? Is it a place for heavy bottom fishing?
Why is ETH near 1500 still not a safe bottom, and how should spot positions be planned in phases?
Why should intraday positions and trend positions be managed separately?
Why are large altcoin positions unsuitable in the current market environment?
LAB has already shown an independent trend, so why is chasing it at high levels still risky?

3.Opening View: The Bearish Direction Remains the Main Theme, and Bigger Opportunities Require Waiting

At the beginning of the livestream, Teacher Zeyu reviewed his experience in the futures trading market and shared the core lesson from several bull and bear cycles: truly major opportunities do not appear often. The key is whether traders can wait for the right price area and prepare their positions and accounts before the opportunity arrives.

The overall market view in this session was clear:

The broader market remains in a bearish structure.
This is not the time for blind bottom fishing.
BTC and ETH may still have lower levels ahead.
The real major opportunity may appear after an accelerated selloff.
Traders do not need to buy the exact bottom, but they need a plan in advance.

Teacher Zeyu reminded viewers that the absolute bottom is usually very difficult to catch. In most cases, traders need to plan entries in phases instead of rushing in whenever price drops.

4.Trading Execution: Separate Intraday Accounts From Trend Accounts

During the livestream, Teacher Zeyu mentioned that KTX’s unified account system allows users to create multiple sub-accounts, which can help with trade execution.

He emphasized that intraday short-term trading and trend trading should ideally be managed separately. An intraday account can be used for more frequent operations, while a trend account should be adjusted less often and reserved for larger-cycle opportunities.

A more reasonable account structure:

Intraday account: for short-term trades, intraday rebound shorts, and quick take-profit/stop-loss execution.
Trend account: for larger-cycle short positions or future spot/low-leverage long positions near major bottoms.
Altcoin account: if trading altcoins, isolate position sizing to avoid affecting BTC and ETH decisions.
Reserve capital: keep funds available for real large-scale opportunities instead of using everything too early.

Teacher Zeyu noted that many traders miss major opportunities not because they judged the direction incorrectly, but because they had no available capital, no planned position, or had already disrupted their mindset through frequent short-term trades.

5.BTC Short Term: Do Not Rush Into Longs After the 58K Rebound

BTC has already dropped near 58,000 and produced a short-term rebound, but Teacher Zeyu does not view this area as the final bottom.

The short-term logic is that if the market has not completed an accelerated downside move and is only ranging at lower levels, entering longs too early can lead to repeated whipsaws. With the weekend approaching, volatility may also remain limited, making it unnecessary to chase longs.

Current BTC short-term approach:

The 58K area is not enough to confirm a final bottom.
There is no need to rush into longs during the weekend.
If price rebounds into resistance, shorts are still preferred.
If traders insist on taking longs, stop-losses must be used.
The cost of being wrong should be controlled around 5%-8%, while the profit target should be larger.

Teacher Zeyu’s view remains that before the structure is complete, aggressive long entry levels should not be given.

6.BTC Daily Structure: Under MA5 Pressure, Rebounds Remain Weak

From the daily structure, BTC is still moving downward along short-term moving average pressure.

Teacher Zeyu pointed out that BTC’s previous rebound failed to reclaim key levels, and the daily structure remains weak. Even if there is a short-term bounce, as long as price cannot reclaim important resistance, it is still more likely to be a correction within a downtrend.

BTC daily observation points:

The daily structure remains bearish.
When rebound strength is insufficient, it is too early to call a reversal.
Before key resistance is reclaimed, the bearish structure remains valid.
Trend positions can continue to be managed around the larger direction.
A real bottom-fishing opportunity requires clearer acceleration and support.

7.BTC Mid-Term: 48K-52K Is the Main Downside Observation Zone

On the larger timeframe, Teacher Zeyu noted that BTC’s decline from the high to the 58K area may still not be sufficient.

He believes that if the market accelerates lower, the 48,000-52,000 area will become a more important observation zone. This does not mean traders should open heavy long positions directly in that range. It is better understood as an area for planning spot accumulation or small low-leverage contract positions in advance.

Key execution points:

48K-52K can be treated as a large-cycle observation zone.
Do not use the full position at once.
Contract limit orders can be placed, but position size must be small.
Spot positions can be planned in phases.
Avoid placing all orders exactly at round numbers, as liquidity issues may prevent fills.

Teacher Zeyu reminded viewers that after a bottom forms, the market often still goes through a period of range-bound washing. It may not rise immediately. Therefore, bottom fishing is not only about price, but also about position sizing, mindset, and holding period.

8.ETH: 1500 Is Not the Bottom, and the Spot Accumulation Zone Is Lower

The core ETH view in this session was that the 1500 area is not the final bottom.

Teacher Zeyu mentioned that although ETH did not make a new low in the same way BTC did, the overall trend remains weak. If ETH rebounds toward 1600 or 1630, it can still be watched for rebound-short opportunities.

For ETH spot planning, he preferred phased accumulation:

Buy a small amount around 1450.
Add part of the position around 1300.
Continue adding around 1200.
Allocate a larger portion around 1100.

The principle is to increase position size as price moves lower, rather than using a heavy position at the first level. With this approach, the average spot entry price can potentially be kept in a relatively lower area.

Spot and futures should be treated differently. Spot can be accumulated slowly in phases, while futures must be managed with strict position sizing and stop-losses.

9.Gold XAU: Still High, No Urgency for Investment Allocation

Gold was also briefly discussed during the livestream.

Teacher Zeyu believes that although gold has pulled back from its high, the overall price is still elevated. It is not suitable to rush into an investment allocation at the current stage. Partial reduction at higher levels had been discussed earlier, and any new gold allocation should still wait for a more suitable price.

Simple view:

Gold is not at a low level.
There is no urgency for long-term investment allocation.
Without a clear plan, do not chase at high levels.
It is better to wait for lower prices before considering opportunities.

10.BLUAI: After the Trendline Break, Forcing Longs Is Not Suitable

BLUAI was used as an altcoin case during the livestream.

From the chart, BLUAI has already broken below its previous rising trendline, and the short-term structure has clearly weakened. Teacher Zeyu noted that if the broader market remains unstable, even areas that appear to have support may fail easily.

Current approach:

After the rising trendline breaks, it should no longer be treated as a strong coin.
When the broader market is unstable, altcoin support levels are more likely to fail.
Heavy left-side longs are not suitable in a weak structure.
If participating, position size should be very light and stop-losses must be set in advance.

11.OPEN: Weakening With the Market, No Need to Force Participation

OPEN clearly weakened together with the broader market in this session.

Teacher Zeyu mentioned that OPEN had already fallen sharply from previous levels, and the current chart structure did not look strong. Unlike LAB, which showed an independent trend, OPEN looked more like an altcoin being dragged lower by the market. There was no need to force long participation in the short term.

Current OPEN focus:

The decline has already been large, but that does not mean it has bottomed.
When the broader market is unstable, OPEN rebounds can also fail easily.
After key structures break, entries should not be based on feeling.
Its participation priority is lower than BTC and ETH.

12.LAB: Strong Independent Trend, but Do Not Chase Highs Blindly

LAB was the most representative independent-trend altcoin discussed in this session.

Teacher Zeyu noted that LAB had already produced an extremely large move from low levels, rising by more than 100x within a few months. This case shows that altcoins can indeed generate explosive opportunities, but it also shows that most traders find it very difficult to hold through the entire move.

View on LAB:

LAB is a representative independent-trend altcoin and does not fully follow the broader market.
It has already risen significantly, so blindly chasing highs is not suitable.
If another upward leg appears, the 35-40 dollar area can be treated as a high-level risk observation zone.
At higher levels, traders should watch for short-side or pullback opportunities instead.
Both long and short positions must use stop-losses, and traders should not bet heavily on one direction.

Teacher Zeyu emphasized that LAB is difficult to analyze and is not suitable for ordinary users to participate in casually at high levels.

13.HYPE: Rebound-Short Logic Worked, Counter-Trend Longs Must Be Small

HYPE was discussed as a relatively weak altcoin observation target.

Teacher Zeyu mentioned that HYPE had already started to fall after its previous rebound, and shorting near higher levels did not involve much pressure. Since the broader market remains bearish, even short-term altcoin rebounds are more likely to be counter-trend opportunities.

Trading approach:

Rebound shorts have higher priority than chasing longs.
Counter-trend short-term longs should only use light position size.
Do not treat an altcoin rebound as a trend reversal.
If the broader market breaks lower, HYPE may still face catch-up downside risk.

14.ZEC: Weak Range Structure, Still Exposed to Catch-Up Downside Risk if BTC Breaks Lower

ZEC is currently in a weak range structure.

Teacher Zeyu believes that if BTC continues to accelerate downward, altcoins such as ZEC will find it difficult to stay independent. Even if there is a short-term rebound, as long as the trend has not truly reversed, catch-up downside risk remains.

Current ZEC observation:

The trend is not clearly strong.
Rebounds lack continuation.
If the broader market breaks lower, it can easily follow the decline.
Heavy early bottom fishing is not suitable.

15.CL and Other Altcoins: Lower Lows, Do Not Spread Positions Too Widely

In the later part of the livestream, Teacher Zeyu briefly reviewed CL and other altcoins.

These coins share the same problem: weak structure, lower lows, and poor upside continuation. Teacher Zeyu reminded viewers that watching too many altcoins at the same time can spread positions across many uncertain names and cause traders to miss the real focus: BTC and ETH.

A more reasonable approach:

Trade fewer altcoins at the current stage.
Do not assume a coin must rebound just because it has already fallen a lot.
Do not open too many altcoin positions at the same time.
Keep the focus on BTC, ETH, and future large-cycle bottom-fishing plans.

16.Core Trading Principles

Direction first: the broader market is still bearish, so do not rush to flip long.
Wait for acceleration: major bottoms often appear after accelerated selloffs.
Accumulate in phases: BTC and ETH spot positions can be planned in advance, but should not be filled all at once.
Separate accounts: intraday trades, trend trades, and altcoin trades should be managed separately.
Reduce altcoin exposure: when the broader market is unstable, altcoins carry higher catch-up downside risk.
Position size comes first: low-level contract orders can be placed, but the size must be small.
Avoid exact round-number orders: stagger low-level orders to reduce the risk of not getting filled.
Execution discipline matters: the same strategy can produce very different results depending on mindset and execution.
