Key Takeaways
BTC and ETH remain broadly bullish, but consolidation at elevated levels and alternating new highs make both chasing rallies and chasing declines vulnerable to reversals.
BTC medium-term longs were to wait for the 70,000—74,000 area; intraday, watch for opportunities after a rebound to around 80,500, with around 82,500 in focus further above. These are historical plans, not levels the price is guaranteed to reach.
ETH's intraday rebound level to watch was around 2,528, with around 2,700 in focus further above. The upper entry level was ambiguous in the spoken commentary and has not been presented as a definitive range.
Watch for localized altcoin rotation over the weekend, focusing on short-term attempts in SUI, PEOPLE and other tokens, rather than equating isolated rebounds with a broad altcoin season.
Keep experimental altcoin positions in personal accounts separate from lead-trader accounts; manage the number of positions, total risk, stop-losses and take-profits together.
The durability of the rebound in U.S. stocks remained unconfirmed, and the presenter was shifting more of his subsequent research focus toward crypto.
Main Market Theme: Broadly Bullish, but Do Not Chase Rallies or Declines in the Short Term
Zeyu believed BTC and ETH were still consolidating at elevated levels after their advance. Pullbacks continued to attract buying support, so a sharp decline might not occur in the near term. Temporary weakness alone should not be taken as confirmation of a bearish turn. The two assets were making new highs in alternation, making short-term trading harder: chasing longs risked a pullback, while chasing shorts risked being stopped out by a rebound.
The approach had two layers: wait for a deeper pullback before considering medium-term longs; for intraday countertrend shorts, wait for a rebound to higher levels or near the previous high, control position size and set stop-losses. The presenter repeatedly emphasized that a rising market does not make every level a suitable long entry, and expecting a pullback does not justify chasing shorts during a decline.
BTC: Reviewing the Pullback from Previous Highs and Waiting for Better Entries
The livestream reviewed earlier short ideas near 80,388 and 81,388, and the subsequent retreat toward 79,000. On the morning of August 28, BTC again rallied to around 81,500 before pulling back. The presenter noted that a break above a previous high can still be followed by a swift reversal; a “new high” alone is not a reason to chase a long.
For medium-term longs, the presenter proposed continuing to wait for the 70,000—74,000 area, while noting that this range spans 4,000 and requires position-size control. This was the pullback plan at the time, not a guarantee that price would return to the range or an unconditional entry instruction.
For intraday shorts, the presenter repeatedly suggested waiting for a rebound toward 80,500 before assessing opportunities. If price did not reach the level, keep waiting rather than chase shorts around 79,300. Further overhead, around 82,500 was mentioned as a resistance level to watch. These plans were countertrend attempts within a strong market, not confirmation of a trend reversal.
The screen showed fifteen-minute and one-hour charts, with a Fibonacci measurement from 81,500 to 78,961.5. Its retracement lines were used to help assess rebound levels and should not be confused with actual trade instructions from the presenter. This summary does not add a standardized stop-loss and take-profit combination that was not explicitly confirmed in the material.
ETH: Consolidation Around 2,500; Treat Shorts on Rebounds and Longs on Pullbacks Separately
The livestream reviewed a long near 2,428 and an earlier short-entry range of around 2,508—2,548, averaging about 2,528. The presenter also noted that a trailing stop may trigger before a subsequent rally, but protecting existing profits still matters. Missing part of a move does not invalidate the stop-loss arrangement.
The intraday approach remained to wait for a rebound, with around 2,528 repeatedly mentioned as the level to watch. For the upper level, the transcript records hesitation between 2,558 and 2,568, so this article does not present a definitive full order-entry range. Further overhead, the resistance level to watch was around 2,700.
The presenter still favored a broadly bullish outlook, but felt the pullback at the time was insufficient and did not want to establish new medium-term longs at elevated levels. He also reviewed previously missing the rally while waiting for 1,600—1,750; this was a past missed-entry example, not a newly confirmed buying range for this episode.
For existing shorts, the presenter described his personal intention to wait for a larger pullback of at least around 10%. This differs from an intraday trading plan: personal position targets, chart retracement lines and new-entry suggestions should not be combined.
Weekend Altcoins: Watch Localized Rotation Without Declaring an Altcoin Season
The presenter reasoned that if BTC and ETH continued moving sideways at elevated levels on Saturday and Sunday, some altcoins might show isolated strength. The watchlist included SOL, AAVE, LINK, UNI, COMP and BSV, among others, but relative strength varied considerably and the timing of any move was difficult to predict. This idea primarily concerned that weekend; plans for the following week would need to be reassessed against market conditions.
LINK and UNI were viewed as relatively strong, with potential upside remaining after pullbacks. The AAVE area around 122 was a review of an opportunity discussed in a previous livestream, not a new pending order for this episode. COMP and BSV were moving more slowly. The presenter specifically warned that some assets can spike and then retreat quickly, making it difficult to exit in time by simply watching the screen; take-profits and stop-losses should be arranged in advance.
SUI: A Small Position to Test a Weekend Rebound
During the Q&A, the presenter discussed SUI using the daily chart and the approximately 0.618 retracement level, and said he was trying a small position in his personal account around 0.75—0.76. He mentioned adjusting leverage on that trade to 8x while emphasizing position-size control. This records his actions at the time and does not imply that this leverage level is safe or suitable for other traders.
The presenter clearly distinguished personal accounts from lead-trader accounts: experimental altcoin trades were placed in his personal account, while the lead-trader account did not participate in such trades. The expectation was mainly a short-term weekend rebound, with an exit once the intended profit was reached, rather than a long-term holding plan.
PEOPLE: A Weaker Structure and an Even Smaller Trial Position
The presenter considered PEOPLE structurally weak despite its substantial decline from historical highs; a large fall alone did not establish that it had bottomed. He said he had made a small trial entry and warned against accumulating too many positions at once.
SUI and PEOPLE were placed on the weekend watchlist, not treated as confirmation that altcoin season had arrived. For contracts, the presenter preferred exiting after reaching the expected return rather than holding for a long time; for small spot positions, he considered different holding arrangements possible.
Gold and U.S. Stocks: Resistance After Rebounds, with the Focus Shifting to Crypto
For gold, the presenter observed resistance around 4,700 and mentioned an existing short position averaging about 4,520, held for several days. This was a review of his personal position, not a fresh entry instruction that evening; the screen showed XAU/USDT-related contract prices.
The equity-related assets discussed were mainly Micron (MU), SanDisk (SNDK) and SK Hynix. The presenter considered SK Hynix's rebound relatively stronger within the group, Micron's retracement proportions fairly textbook, and SanDisk's rebound short of his expected level. Because some specific prices were inconsistently recognized in the transcript, this article retains the relative-strength and structural assessments without assembling unconfirmed equity trading parameters.
The presenter leaned toward further downside after these rebounds and noted that some highs were progressively lower, but explicitly stated that a genuine bearish turn still required confirmation. He suggested capital might rotate into crypto; this was his personal assessment at the time, not a fact verified by fund-flow data. His subsequent trading focus would shift more toward crypto assets.
Trading Discipline: Controlling Execution Risk Matters More Than Predicting Direction
First, avoid repeatedly chasing trades during consolidation at elevated levels. The presenter noted that breakouts or breakdowns on lower time frames may be false moves, preferring to wait for price to reach planned levels or for further structural confirmation.
Second, countertrend trading requires greater restraint. The livestream emphasized position-size control, but also showed drawdowns and unrealized losses in a personal account. The presenter mentioned an account declining from around 135,000 to around 95,000 and reviewed a previous BTC short that was stopped out. This illustrates that directional calls, adding to positions and waiting while holding can all produce real losses; profitable examples should not be selectively quoted.
Third, distinguish personal position management from replicable trading principles. The presenter discussed holding losing shorts, waiting for rebounds to add, and using the distance to liquidation to explain his own tolerance. This is not a safety guarantee and should not be turned into advice for everyone to hold losing positions or add to them. The article only records his approach at the time.
Fourth, set stop-losses and take-profits in advance, especially given sharp altcoin price spikes. The presenter's emphasis was on accepting reduced profits from stop-losses or trailing stops rather than abandoning risk controls to capture every part of a move. Stop execution may still be affected by gaps, slippage and liquidity.
Fifth, after two or three consecutive stop-outs, consider pausing trading for a day or two to calmly review mistakes. The presenter repeatedly emphasized that opportunities are plentiful; becoming emotional and rushing to recover losses often causes execution to deteriorate further.

BTC and ETH Market FAQs
Why avoid chasing longs when the broader outlook is bullish?
Because trend direction and entry location are different matters. The livestream emphasized that repeated new highs at elevated levels can still be followed by swift pullbacks; waiting for a better entry matters more than fear of missing out.
Why avoid chasing shorts even when expecting a pullback?
Because buying support remains after declines, and short-term weakness does not necessarily become a bearish trend. The presenter preferred waiting for a rebound to planned levels rather than acting on further bearish expectations during a decline.
BTC and ETH: Were the long plans ready to be executed?
Under the view expressed at the time, medium-term plans were still waiting for a deeper pullback. Intraday trading and medium-term positioning should be treated separately rather than managed with the same holding logic.
Why watch SUI, PEOPLE and other altcoins over the weekend?
The presenter expected localized rotation while major coins traded sideways and used charts to guide small trial positions. However, he explicitly questioned the durability of these moves, and the weekend plan did not automatically extend into the following week.
Does getting stopped out by a trailing stop after making a profit mean stops are pointless?
No. The presenter regarded earning less as an acceptable cost, prioritizing protection of existing profits and drawdown control over capturing an entire move.
What should you do after consecutive losses?
Pause trading, reduce emotional interference, and review entry locations, direction and execution issues rather than keep increasing trading activity to recover losses immediately.
Core Conclusion
The focus of this episode was not predicting when the market would top, but distinguishing trend assessment, intraday plans and personal positions during strong, choppy trading. Waiting for pullbacks, avoiding chasing rallies or declines, trying small weekend altcoin positions, and setting exit conditions in advance were the central themes. All specific plans belong to the historical context of August 28, 2026; market conditions must be reassessed before use.

Trading Strategies and Risk Notice
The market in this episode was trading at elevated levels with high volatility. Short-term strategies focused on waiting for signs of resistance, taking profits in stages and strict stop-losses; medium-term strategies focused on waiting for confirmation after a deep pullback. Levels discussed in the livestream are for reviewing trades and explaining trading ideas, not unconditional entry instructions. Actual trading requires independent judgment based on live market conditions, personal risk tolerance and position exposure.
