1. Overall Market Assessment
The core of this live session was to review the structural changes after the rapid rise of mainstream assets and to determine whether the upward trend is a continuation or a short-term pullback for correction after a surge.
Teacher Zeyu emphasized in the analysis that after a rapid market surge, one should not blindly chase the price just because it is rising. What needs to be observed are: whether key resistance levels can be effectively broken, if pullback support is well absorbed, and whether short-term momentum continues to cooperate. In terms of operations, confirmation should be waited for first, rather than emotionally chasing after a big bullish candle.
From the chart structure, both BTC and ETH have experienced significant rapid rises but have since entered a high-level consolidation or pullback phase. The current market still has a bullish foundation, but short-term volatility has clearly increased, and subsequent movements depend more on the gains or losses at key levels.
2. BTC Market Analysis
BTC rapidly surged in this round, reaching a high of about $79,555, then retreated to oscillate between $76,000 and $77,000. After the surge, short-term upward momentum weakened, and the market began to digest the gains.
Short-term focus should be on whether effective support forms around $75,500–$76,000. If the price stabilizes after pulling back to this area and then climbs back above $77,000–$78,000, bulls still have the chance to challenge the previous high near $79,500 again.
If support near $75,500 is lost, beware of further downward extension. Attention can be given to support around $72,000 and lower support zones. Before breaking through the previous high again, it is not advisable to continuously chase longs at high levels.
The current BTC outlook can be summarized as: the large structure remains relatively strong, short-term is in a consolidation phase after the surge; if pullback is supported, a rebound is possible, but if key support fails, risk control should be prioritized.
3. ETH Market Analysis
ETH also showed a strong rally, with the price surging to about $2,469. After the rapid rise, the price consolidated at high levels, indicating bulls still hold some advantage, but the risk of chasing the rally has clearly increased.
Short-term attention should first focus on support around $2,390. If the price stabilizes here, there is still the possibility of retesting the $2,460–$2,470 area. Only a further breakout of the previous high would indicate that the upward space has reopened.
On the downside, focus on support near $2,310; if the pullback deepens, the $2,140–$2,150 area is a more important structural defense zone. The operational logic for ETH remains to wait for pullback confirmation and not to chase highs directly after rapid rises.
4. Other Assets and Sector Observations
The live session also extended observations to gold and multiple crypto assets and related market targets, mainly using trend structure, Fibonacci retracement, and MACD momentum to judge price positioning.
For assets that have already surged rapidly, the focus is not on predicting how much higher they can go, but on observing the first effective pullback after the rise. If the pullback does not break key structures and momentum strengthens again, that is a relatively better entry point.
For assets still in range-bound or just starting, it is necessary to distinguish between real breakouts and short-term false breakouts. Effective breakouts usually require the price to hold above key resistance with volume and momentum support; if the price quickly falls back into the original range after a surge, risk of pullback should be prioritized.
5. Trading Strategy Summary
1. The overall structure of mainstream coins remains relatively strong, but short-term has shifted from one-sided rally to high-level consolidation and pullback confirmation.
2. BTC key focus is on support at $75,500–$76,000 and resistance near $79,500.
3. ETH key focus is on support around $2,390, support near $2,310, and resistance at $2,460–$2,470.
4. The first principle after a rapid rise is not to chase the rally, but to wait for pullback and observe support before deciding whether to participate.
5. Before going long, clearly define stop-loss levels; if key structures are effectively broken downward, adjust your judgment promptly to avoid turning short-term trades into long-term holdings passively.
6. Altcoins and high-volatility targets should reduce positions to avoid blindly chasing catch-up rallies after mainstream coins enter consolidation phases.
6. Core Conclusions of This Session
The bullish trend of this round is not yet completely broken, but both BTC and ETH have entered a stage after rapid rises where support confirmation is needed. Whether the upward trend can continue depends not on short-term gains but on whether real buying absorbs the pullback.
Trading should be patient: do not chase highs at the end of big bullish candles, do not blindly sell near key support, prioritize structural confirmation and risk control. As long as key support holds, bulls still have chances to attack previous highs again; if support fails, reduce positions first and wait for new stable structures to form.
