This livestream focused on market conditions before and after China’s National Day holiday. Zeyu noted that, after breaking above their previous ranges, BTC and ETH are now retesting the former range highs and key Fibonacci support levels. In the short term, the market is still consolidating. Traders should avoid chasing longs during an advance and instead wait for pullbacks into planned entry zones before scaling in. If key support fails and price falls back into the former range, a deeper correction may follow. Altcoins are not rising across the board; the market is being driven mainly by sector rotation and catch-up moves in selected strong coins. Coin selection, position sizing, and taking profit in stages are therefore more important than simply deciding whether an “altcoin season” has begun.
1. BTC: Retesting the Range High as Key Support Determines the Next Move
For spot execution, traders can refer to Spot Trading. For derivatives, the BTC Futures and Perpetual Futures pages are available, but strict risk control remains essential.
After breaking above its previous range, BTC entered a high-level consolidation. Before the livestream, it pulled back from the morning high to around $82,561, close to the 0.382 Fibonacci retracement of the latest advance. This area also sits near the former range high, where resistance may turn into support. The previously planned BTC long was filled near $82,688 and is currently being monitored as an open position.
The current structure has two main possible outcomes. First, if the former range high continues to provide support, BTC may complete its consolidation there and reopen upside room. Second, if price decisively falls back into the former range, the earlier breakout may develop into a bull trap, raising the risk of an accelerated correction.
From an execution perspective, the 0.382 retracement is the first support zone. If price continues lower, the area near the 0.5 retracement may offer a second opportunity to add, but any additional entry must be planned in advance. The $80,000 level is an important structural invalidation reference. If price breaks below it and cannot recover quickly, long positions should not be held stubbornly. The priority at this stage is not frequent trading, but watching whether the former range high can hold and patiently allowing the position to develop.
2. ETH: Continue Monitoring the 2,658 Long as the Next Entry Zone Moves Lower
For ETH spot trading, users can view the Ethereum Price page. For derivatives, refer to the ETH Futures page.
ETH is following a structure similar to BTC, retesting the former range high after its breakout. The instructor’s ETH long has an average entry near $2,658 and has been held for several days. The first take-profit target at $2,708 was reached, while the second target at $2,748 was narrowly missed as the intraday high reached about $2,744. This trade again demonstrates the value of taking profits in stages.
For a new short-term entry, the livestream highlighted the $2,618-$2,578 zone. The instructor did not add near the 0.382 retracement around $2,635 because price could continue toward deeper support. If ETH declines again, the main accumulation zone may shift lower to approximately $2,580-$2,530.
The $2,500 level is an important defensive line for the current ETH structure. As long as price does not decisively break below $2,500, the range-breakout structure still has room to continue, with a potential upside target near $3,030. If $2,500 fails, the bullish structure would become materially less certain and the short-term accumulation strategy should be paused. For spot holdings, the instructor remains constructive on ETH over the medium to long term and recommends scaling in during pullbacks rather than trying to buy the exact bottom.
3. BCH and BSV: Deep-Pullback Opportunities After Rapid Advances
BCH and BSV both rallied strongly before entering volatile corrections. BCH fell from around $366 to about $304, a decline of nearly 20%, while BSV dropped from roughly $24.78 to $19.80, also correcting by about 20%. The instructor believes these assets may offer a second opportunity after their rapid advances, but traders should wait for pullbacks into key Fibonacci zones and participate only with small positions rather than chasing the rally.
BSV was previously watched mainly in the $15-$17 area and later rose as high as $24.78, producing a substantial unrealized gain. Without staged profit-taking, those gains can quickly be surrendered during a correction. BCH and BSV have historically produced extreme wicks and violent rallies, so any countertrend short must include a stop-loss to avoid being squeezed sharply in a short period.
4. LINK, COMP, and UNI: Wait for Pullbacks Instead of Chasing Breakouts
LINK has been one of the stronger assets in this move. The instructor previously identified the $12-$13 area as suitable for gradual accumulation, after which price strengthened and reached a new local high. Existing positions can be managed with a trailing take-profit. Traders who have not entered should avoid chasing during an accelerating rally and wait for a new pullback structure.
COMP previously peaked near $25.50 and had pulled back to about $22.80 by the time of the livestream, approaching the 0.618-0.786 Fibonacci retracement zone of the latest advance. This area can be monitored for renewed support, but the initial position size, number of additions, total exposure, and final average cost should all be set in advance. Traders should not keep adding without a plan simply because a position is in unrealized loss. UNI is connected to the Ethereum ecosystem, and the same principle applies: wait for a pullback and enter only after support is confirmed.
5. LTC and FIL: Short-Term Strength, but the Long-Term Structure Still Requires Caution
LTC has performed well recently, but the instructor noted that many established altcoins remain far below their 2021 highs. The current market is closer to selective rotation than a synchronized advance across all altcoins, so future upside should not be judged solely by an asset’s historical recognition.
FIL rebounded from around $0.76 to approximately $1.20-$1.30, gaining roughly 30%-40% in just over ten days and showing clear short-term improvement. Over the longer cycle, however, FIL remains deeply below its historical highs. Assets of this type are better treated as short-term rebounds and structure-based trades. A single rapid rally should not cause traders to ignore the long-term trend or supply pressure.
6. DOGE: Prioritize Spot Holdings and Watch Support Near $0.095
DOGE was discussed during the livestream Q&A. The instructor believes spot holders do not need to overreact to short-term volatility, but they should still monitor whether the broader market can stabilize. The area around $0.095 corresponds to the 0.382 retracement of the recent move and can be watched as support. Traders who already took profit and reduced exposure during the rebound do not need to rush back in; waiting for a clearer pullback opportunity is the more prudent approach.
7. Altcoin Market: Sector Rotation, Not a Broad Bull Market
When screening On-Chain Projects, traders can cross-check capital flows using Meme Coin Movement Monitoring, Smart Money, and Position Analysis tools.
The defining feature of this altcoin move is divergence. BCH, BSV, LINK, COMP, LTC, DASH, and SUI have shown periods of strength, while many other altcoins have not broken out. The market therefore cannot yet be described as a broad altcoin season. Capital is rotating between sectors, meaning that the wrong asset may remain stagnant while the broader market rises and then fall faster when the market corrects.
For favored altcoins, traders can scale in when the broader market pulls back and the asset simultaneously retests key support. Those concerned about missing the move can start with a very small initial position and add only at predefined support levels. Total risk must be controlled in both spot and derivatives trading; high leverage is not a substitute for position management. The instructor repeatedly emphasized the most important principle of this livestream: do not chase after a new high—wait for the pullback before entering.
8. Market Risks Around the National Day Holiday
The market may remain active in the days before the National Day holiday, but thinner liquidity, meetings, and unexpected volatility during the holiday can amplify risk. The instructor noted that markets have repeatedly experienced meeting-related volatility or sharp post-holiday declines, so traders should not relax their defenses simply because the current structure looks strong.
If BTC and ETH hold above their former range highs, the market may continue grinding higher. If they fall back into their ranges, exposure should be reduced and the risk of a deeper correction should be respected. Spot investors can gradually accumulate BTC and ETH during pullbacks, while derivatives traders should pay closer attention to stop-losses, trailing take-profits, and the time cost of holding positions.
9. Trade Execution and Risk Control
Traders who want to strengthen their methods can review Skills. Event-driven opportunities can also be evaluated independently with information from the Prediction Market.
The livestream repeatedly stressed that the difficulty of the current market is not limited to directional judgment. Long periods of consolidation also increase the psychological and time costs of holding positions. Traders may become anxious during extended sideways movement and close positions too early, add without discipline, or chase after a breakout. The solution is to define the initial position size, add-on levels, maximum number of additions, total exposure limit, stop-loss conditions, and staged take-profit plan before entering.
Profitable positions should be partially realized, with trailing take-profits used to protect gains. Additional entries should occur only at planned support zones, never as an improvised response to growing losses. Spot positions are relatively better suited to gradual medium- and long-term accumulation, while derivatives require stricter risk control. If the market does not provide a pullback, it is better to miss the trade than to chase a highly volatile asset during an accelerating move.

BTC and ETH are at a critical retest following their range breakouts. Whether the former range highs hold will determine the next directional move. For BTC, watch support near $82,000 and structural defense at $80,000. For ETH, watch the $2,618-$2,578 zone and the deeper $2,580-$2,530 area, with $2,500 serving as an important invalidation reference.
Among altcoins, strong assets such as LINK, COMP, and BSV may still offer second opportunities after pullbacks, while BCH, LTC, FIL, and DOGE should be handled cautiously according to their individual structures. This is not a broad-based market in which indiscriminate buying is enough to profit. Trading should center on structural confirmation, scaling into positions, controlling exposure, and taking profits in a timely manner.
