1.Key Takeaways

  1. SOL remains in a downward cycle. After rebounding into the daily neckline and 4-hour resistance zone, short-side opportunities are still worth watching.
  2. A trendline breakout does not equal a trend reversal. Traders still need to observe whether the previous high is broken and whether a new higher-high and higher-low structure forms.
  3. HYPE is close to a key resistance area. The livestream plan was to test a short near 65.2-65.6, with the stop-loss reference near 67 and a 1:1 risk-reward setup.
  4. BTC is currently in a repair phase after a structural breakdown. A rebound into the 60,600-60,700 resistance area should not be directly treated as a bullish structure.
  5. In a downtrend, traders should not only ask “where is support?” They also need to understand that support in a weak structure is often used to be broken.
  6. ETH was mainly used as a short-term execution case: identify the opportunity, act when the setup is clear, and rest when the chart is unclear.
  7. ZEC, OPEN, and SLX were used as examples of downside continuation, structural repair, and short setups after a trendline break.
  8. In trade execution, Teacher Baize emphasized 1:1 risk-reward, right-side confirmation, stop-loss discipline, and avoiding forced trades when the market is unclear.

2.Core Questions Covered

  1. Why can SOL not be treated as a reversal simply because it rebounded into a resistance zone?
  2. What is the difference between a trendline breakout and a real trend reversal?
  3. Why can the 65.2-65.6 area on HYPE be used as a test-short zone?
  4. Why should BTC’s volume-price relationship be watched after a structural breakdown?
  5. If some altcoins have already dropped sharply, why is blind bottom fishing still risky?
  6. Under what conditions can a strong altcoin like SLX shift from a long-side structure into a short-side test setup?
  7. Why did Teacher Baize repeatedly stress that traders should rest when they cannot read the market clearly?

3.Opening Review: Current Positions and Platform Notes

At the beginning of the livestream, Teacher Baize briefly showed the KTX website entrance, Lark community entrance, Help Center, AI market signals, selected tweets, principal-protected copy trading, and prediction market modules. Platform features were not the main focus of this session; they were mainly introduced to help new users find the livestream, strategy updates, and learning materials.

In the position review, Teacher Baize noted that his current exposure was not heavy. A small SLX short position had a temporary floating loss, the HYPE position had already been reduced or closed, and the LAB position was closed on the day with around 3,172 USDT in profit. He also reviewed earlier expectations for LAB and OPEN, noting that the actual price action did not fully match the initial expectation. The point was that trading cannot rely only on subjective views; it must return to chart structure and position control.


4.SOL: Rebound Into the Neckline Resistance Zone, but the Trend Has Not Reversed

SOL was the core teaching case of this session.

Teacher Baize first looked at SOL’s “coin behavior” from the daily chart. Compared with smaller timeframes such as the 2-hour or 4-hour chart, SOL’s daily structure is clearer. In previous moves, after SOL broke below key areas, it often rebounded back toward the former neckline, failed to break through, and then continued lower.

In the current move, SOL rebounded from the bottom and approached the daily neckline and 4-hour resistance zone again. Teacher Baize viewed this not as a place to chase longs, but as an area where short-side setups can be monitored.

After switching to the 4-hour chart, he marked the rising trendline, horizontal neckline, and resistance zone. Although price had rebounded, it was still within the rebound range of the original downtrend structure. As long as price does not effectively break the previous high or build a new bullish structure, traders should not assume that a trendline breakout automatically means reversal.

Teacher Baize emphasized a key point: a trendline breakout does not equal a trend reversal.

A real reversal needs at least two confirmations:

  • Price breaks the key high on the left.
  • Price later forms a higher high and a higher low.

If price only breaks a short-term trendline but fails to break the previous high or hold above the original resistance zone, it may still be only a rebound inside a larger downtrend.

On the 6-hour chart, SOL was also still being pressured by the Vegas channel. During the livestream, Teacher Baize mentioned that SOL had touched the 6-hour Vegas channel several times in the current market and was pushed down each time. That means the downward cycle should still be respected.

For execution, his view was clear: if a trader already holds a SOL short, reducing position size is acceptable, and continuing to observe is also acceptable. However, while price is still rising, adding to a short is not suitable. A more reasonable add-on point would be after price shows right-side downside confirmation.


5.HYPE: Close to Resistance, So Testing a Short Is More Practical Than Waiting for an Unrealistic Entry

HYPE had a similar logic to SOL, but the focus was on entry method.

Teacher Baize first looked at HYPE’s top structure on the daily chart, then switched to the 4-hour chart to locate the key resistance area before the previous drop. Since HYPE had already moved close to the short zone, his view during the livestream was that traders could test a short near resistance.

The clear reference area in this session was around 65.2-65.6, with the stop-loss reference near 67 and a 1:1 risk-reward structure.

Teacher Baize used this example to explain an important trading detail: do not set an entry order too far away from current price.

If the order is placed too far away, it may reduce the chance of losing money, but it may also never get filled. More importantly, if price really moves far enough to reach that distant entry, the original bearish structure may already have been damaged, making the short setup weaker.

Therefore, the HYPE plan was not to wait blindly for an extreme price. The better approach was to test a small short while the structure had not yet been invalidated and price was already near resistance, then use a clear stop-loss to fix the risk.


6.BTC: Structural Repair After a Breakdown Does Not Equal a Reversal

The BTC section focused on structural breakdown and volume-price relationship.

On the 4-hour chart, BTC had broken below a key structure and then rebounded into the 60,600-60,700 resistance area. Teacher Baize viewed this area more as a retest after breakdown, not as a confirmed bullish structure.

During the livestream, he pointed out that many traders only ask “where is support?” But in a downtrend, support is not automatically a reason to go long. In a weak market, support levels are often repeatedly tested and may eventually break.

His logic can be summarized this way: in a downtrend, support is often there to be broken; in an uptrend, resistance is often there to be broken. Traders should not conclude that price must rebound simply because a level once acted as support.

After switching back to the daily chart and volume-price view, Teacher Baize emphasized that BTC currently looks more like structural repair after a breakdown. Whether BTC can truly strengthen depends on whether volume supports the move, not just whether a lower wick or a short rebound appears.

At this stage, BTC has not formed a clear bullish structure, so the main livestream view remained rebound-short rather than chasing longs.


7.ETH: Short-Term Execution Matters More Than Prediction

ETH was mainly used as a short-term execution case in this session.

During the livestream, Teacher Baize mentioned that ETH showed a short-term opportunity around 1,590, then quickly pulled back after a move higher. The point of this example was not to emphasize one fixed price level, but to show that traders need to recognize opportunities and execute when the setup is clear.

He repeatedly reminded viewers that traders do not need to open positions every day. When the setup is clear, take the opportunity. When the chart is unclear, rest. In weak or choppy markets, forced trading can easily give back the profit made earlier.


8.Altcoin Strategy: ZEC, OPEN, BLUAI, and SLX

8.1 ZEC: The Downtrend Structure Has Not Changed, and Low-Level Chasing Is Not Suitable

ZEC was still observed as a downtrend structure. The chart showed that price was repeatedly pressured near the trendline and horizontal resistance, and no effective reversal had formed.

For this type of coin, the key is not to blindly chase shorts at low levels, but also not to buy simply because the price has already dropped a lot. A more reasonable approach is to wait for a rebound into resistance or wait for right-side structure confirmation before participating.

8.2 OPEN: Not Fully Broken, but It Still Needs Right-Side Confirmation

OPEN was previously one of the coins Teacher Baize viewed more positively, but in this livestream he also noted that the current structure still needs time to repair.

If a trader already holds a position and the position size is not heavy, giving the chart more time to develop is acceptable. If there is no position, entering heavily before structural confirmation is not suitable. The key later will be whether price can complete a right-side bullish structure, such as breaking upward, retesting the key neckline without losing it, and then continuing higher.

8.3 BLUAI: Even After Good News, the Downtrend Still Needs to Be Respected

BLUAI was one of the bearish examples in this session. Teacher Baize mentioned that this coin had already been shorted from above 500 down to the 300 area. Even if there is short-term positive news, that should not be directly interpreted as a trend reversal.

In a bear market or weak market, good news being priced in may instead become a bearish trigger. For BLUAI, Teacher Baize’s attitude was clear: do not go long simply because the coin has already dropped a lot. Any rebound is still more of a short-side observation opportunity. If a trader already holds a short, manage it according to plan. If there is no position, wait for a better rebound area instead of chasing emotionally at low levels.

8.4 SLX: Even Strong Coins Need to Be Re-Evaluated After a Trendline Break

SLX was the final major teaching case.

On the 1-hour chart, SLX had risen sharply earlier, but then formed two tops and broke below the rising trendline. Teacher Baize further pointed out that after price broke the trendline, it formed a lower high and failed to break the previous high. That created the basis for a short-side test.

The SLX setup was not about shorting just because price had already risen a lot. It needed several conditions:

  • The rising trendline was broken.
  • A lower high appeared.
  • The previous high was not broken.
  • Price showed signs of weakening on the right side.

After these conditions appear, traders can test a small short and use a 1:1 risk-reward plan for take-profit and stop-loss.


9.Core Trading Principles

  1. Do not treat a trendline breakout as a trend reversal. Reversal needs confirmation from previous highs, previous lows, and overall structure.
  2. In a downtrend, support does not always create a rebound. Many support levels eventually break.
  3. For short setups, do not always wait for an unrealistically distant entry. If the entry is too far away, it may never fill; if it fills, the structure may already have changed.
  4. When price is still rising, do not blindly add to shorts. Waiting for right-side downside confirmation is more stable.
  5. Altcoins are highly volatile, so position sizing should stay light. Do not ignore the broader market just because one coin is temporarily strong.
  6. When the chart is unclear, resting is acceptable. Not trading is also part of trading.
  7. Every trade should have a stop-loss, take-profit, and risk-reward plan in advance. A 1:1 structure was repeatedly emphasized in this session as a basic risk-control method.
  8. Traders need execution confidence, but that confidence must be built on professional judgment and risk control.
