Why Can Following a Popular Trend Be Riskier When Funding Rates Are High?
In the cryptocurrency market, when a coin keeps rising, discussions on social media grow increasingly heated, and perpetual contract funding rates continue to climb, many traders may think: Since so many people are bullish, there may still be an opportunity to join in now.
But the more crowded the market gets, the more important it is to pay attention to risk. A high funding rate is not a sure sign that the market is about to reverse, but it may signal that holding costs and market expectations have changed.
First, a hig

Crypto News | Datavault AI Discloses It Cannot Withdraw Bitcoin from Exchange Biconomy, Sending Shares Tumbling 50% and Forcing Restatement of $92 Million in Financial Data
What’s most noteworthy is not that Datavault AI’s stock was cut in half overnight because it couldn’t withdraw its coins, but that the incident directly pulled back the curtain on “off-chain accounting”😂
At Tuesday’s U.S. market open, Datavault AI’s stock fell like a kite with a severed string, plunging nearly 50% to close at $0.067. Trading volume hit 244 million shares, in what looked like a mass exodus. The final straw

Why do large orders sometimes need to be executed in batches? Is splitting orders always more cost-effective?
In the cryptocurrency market, placing a large order all at once may not be the best choice. The order may consume multiple price levels, causing the average execution price to deviate from expectations. As a result, some traders may consider splitting a large order into several smaller ones.
But splitting orders is not a guaranteed way to profit; it addresses execution issues, not guarantees of trading profits.
First, why can large orders affect execution prices?

FOMC Decision Today: Will the Fed Shake Up Crypto Markets?
All eyes are on the US Federal Reserve as its October 28 policy meeting concludes. Investors are watching for clues on interest rates and the outlook for monetary policy.
🔑 What matters for crypto:
🏦 The Fed’s interest rate decision.
📊 Signals on inflation and future rate moves.
🎙 Fed Chair Kevin Warsh’s press conference.
₿ Potential volatility for $BTC and altcoins as markets react.
Markets largely expect rates to remain unchanged, but the Fed’s statement and guidance could drive the next move.

I’m going to try a new long position here at 40; the risk/reward ratio doesn’t seem very high.
But based on the 4-hour closing price, it can serve as the basis for our entry.
Are you willing to take this risk, guys

$NEAR The current price of 4.732 is nearing the 1-hour resistance at 4.81, with a 24-hour gain of +0.66% that looks steady. But 1-hour trading volume has plunged to just 6.8% of its usual level, leaving the price’s push toward this key level without participation to back it up.
The outlook is currently bullish, but caution is warranted: this price-volume divergence makes the rally look lacking in conviction. A breakout above 4.81 on rising volume would confirm the trend, while a drop below the 4.544 support could trigger a short-term pullback. The key question is: with price leading and volu

Kamino and Backpack added tokenized US equities to Backpack Market, an isolated lending market, last night. Collateral includes SPCX, MU, SKHY, and SNDK, officially redeemable 1:1; LTVs are around 40% for MU and SKHY and 30% for SPCX and SNDK, with the oracle freezing prices at the closing level when US stock markets are closed. Kamino says tokenized equity collateral on the platform is worth about $50 million; Solana has around 1.5 million tokenized stock holders, and Backpack's cumulative trading volume is about $6 billion. CoinGecko spot KMNO is around $0.0385 (snapshot at approximately 08:

$TRX is currently at 0.3296, right near 1-hour support at 0.3293. The 1-hour RSI has fallen into oversold territory, but the price is still making new lows. Oversold does not mean a bottom is in; current trading volume is only 5.7% of normal levels, indicating that the market has not formed effective buying support.
The outlook remains weak, with trends on both timeframes moving down in sync. A rebound above the 0.3326 resistance would ease oversold pressure, while a break below the 4-hour support at 0.3274 could accelerate the decline. The key question is: in this low-volume oversold state, i

Check in every night before bed, do two tasks during lunch, and spend some time researching points on the weekend. After a month of work, I finally received the airdrop. My first reaction was definitely: “At least all that effort paid off this time!”
But don’t rush to count the entire reward amount as money earned.
It’s a bit like meeting a minimum spend for an e-commerce discount: you may have collected plenty of coupons, but to figure out whether you actually saved money, you also have to count what you spent buying extra items to qualify.
For example, the airdrop actually sold for 120U. I p

Why Do Trading Plans Always Fail During Extreme Market Volatility?
In the crypto market, many traders don’t lack a plan; instead, they gradually abandon it once the market truly starts moving.
Before entering a trade, we set targets, stop-losses, and position sizes. But when prices suddenly surge, the fear of missing out may push us to chase the rally. When prices plunge rapidly, fear of losses may make us exit early or even keep moving our stop-loss, hoping the market will reverse.
The core issue may not be the ability to predict market direction, but whether a plan can still be followed unde

This Friday, $10.9 billion in BTC options worldwide reach final settlement, with the maximum pain price firmly anchored near $78k. Many people see this figure and start to panic, worrying that market makers will drive prices all the way back to max pain. But they overlook the core logic of options expiry: the period around expiration is often the best window for volatility to pick up and a short-term bottom to form. A closer look at the derivatives ledger makes the dynamics very clear:
Max pain does not mean price must reach it $BTC The $78k max pain price is about 4% below spot. Market maker

What Is Market Depth? How Can You Tell Whether the Order Book Can Handle Your Trade Size?
In crypto trading, many people look at price and trading volume first, but overlook a metric that directly affects trade execution: market depth.
Market depth helps us understand how many buy and sell orders are available at different price levels, and how prices may change when the market faces a trade of a given size.
First, what exactly is market depth?
In an order book, buy orders are usually distributed across different price levels below the current market price, while sell orders are distributed ab
