What Is a Funding Rate? Why Should Perpetual Contract Traders Pay Attention to It?
In the cryptocurrency market, perpetual contracts have no fixed expiration date. The funding rate mechanism helps keep contract prices relatively close to spot prices. For frequent contract traders, the funding rate affects not only holding costs but can also offer clues about market sentiment.
First, what is a funding rate?
A funding rate is a periodic exchange of fees between long and short holders of perpetual contracts. Usually, when the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, shorts

Losing my wallet, passport, and ID in Vietnam gave me a serious scare. Luckily, the hotel was reputable and helped me get them back.
It just passed through too many staff members’ hands, and they took all the large-denomination Vietnamese dong—about HKD 500.
Oh well, as long as I got my passport back 😭😭😭 otherwise I would’ve been stuck in Vietnam!! I’ll just consider the 500 a tip.

#USNonfarmPayrolls
Navigating the NFP Storm: The Good News is Bad News Paradox
The recent ADP employment report surprised to the upside, adding 86,000 jobs in October. While this highlights economic resilience, the upcoming official Nonfarm Payrolls release is creating a complex setup for risk assets.
Let us break down the questions every trader is asking right now.
Is better data always more bullish, or is a moderate cooling better for the market? It is rarely that simple. We are currently in a macroeconomic environment where good news is bad news for risk assets. Stronger-than-expected data

#10月非农数据聚焦
The October US Nonfarm Payrolls report is becoming an important focus for financial markets as investors look for fresh signals about the strength of the American economy. Employment data plays a major role in shaping economic expectations because the labor market influences consumer spending, business confidence, inflation, and the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions.
The October jobs report will provide important information about how many jobs were added during the month, whether unemployment is increasing or decreasing, and how wages are developing. These figures can hel

#BrentCrudeFallsBelow100
The recent drop of Brent crude below the $100 mark is a significant development that reshapes the broader macro landscape. This move puts global demand and supply expectations back in focus, but it also intersects with another major market catalyst: the outcome of the US midterm elections, where Democrats secured a majority.
This political result is being interpreted by the markets as a stabilizing factor that reduces geopolitical risk premiums. With lower perceived geopolitical friction on the horizon, the market is pricing in fewer supply-side disruptions, which fur

The way Korean stocks are falling today is genuinely a bit scary 😥
The KOSPI fell more than 5% at one point intraday, even triggering temporary restrictions on algorithmic trading. SK Hynix $SKHYNIX fell more than 7% at one point, and Samsung Electronics wasn't doing much better
What's more worth watching is the flow of funds:
As of 11 a.m., foreign investors had already net sold more than 1.2 trillion won worth of stocks, while retail investors were buying aggressively
All three major U.S. stock indexes rose last night, but semiconductor stocks fell sharply against the trend, and Korean sto
