Why do perpetual futures have funding rates?
Because perpetual contracts have no fixed expiration date, funding mechanisms help keep their prices aligned with spot markets.
Under common rules:
Positive funding: longs generally pay shorts.
Negative funding: shorts generally pay longs.
Always verify the exchange’s specific calculation and payment schedule.
Funding affects holding costs, but it cannot predict price direction on its own.
Before entering a trade, consider not only price and leverage, but also the funding costs that may accumulate while you hold the position.

Scumbag Watch: GOOGLE
A few days ago, while browsing X, I saw a chance to follow Buffett’s lead, so I took a look at Google’s candlestick chart. My impression at the time was that it looked like it hadn’t finished falling yet, so I placed a long order near the annual moving average.
When I got up this morning, I saw that the order had filled, and it’s currently showing a small profit.
Let’s take a look at Google’s Q3 earnings. In theory, its phenomenal Q2 results were unsustainable (spcx’s IPO brought in nearly 100 billion in investment gains). In Q3, its overall investment in spcx was actuall

You’re getting ready to try a new app, only to realize your coins are on another chain. A friend says, “Just bridge them over.” It sounds like moving money from your left pocket to your right pocket. Is it really that simple?
Different blockchains are more like cities, each with its own ledger. Having assets on one chain doesn’t mean the same balance will automatically appear on another just because you switch networks in your wallet.
A cross-chain bridge is a tool that helps coordinate assets or information between the two sides.
Some mechanisms lock assets on the source chain and issue corre

Gold is back at $4,000! The bulls can finally hold their heads high. Is the next move a rocket-like surge or a sudden reversal?
Gold is back at $4,000! Just a few days ago, it was languishing below, leaving investors “questioning everything”; now it’s standing tall again. This market is more thrilling than a weather forecast, and investors’ emotions are on a roller coaster—with seat belts fastened, though their wallets may not feel so secure.
This rebound isn’t without reason. Falling oil prices have eased some inflationary pressure, while dip-buying has also supported gold prices. However, wh

Why could falling prices and rising OI indicate stronger bearish pressure while also signaling a risk of a rebound?
In the crypto derivatives market, when prices continue to fall while open interest (OI) rises at the same time, many traders assume that short positions are increasing and the market may continue to weaken. But this is only one possible explanation; the market direction cannot be confirmed based on just two indicators.
First, what do falling prices and rising OI mean?
This means that open contract exposure is increasing as prices fall. New long and short positions may be opening,

10.29 Market Conditions Analysis
ETH Strategy Reference Setup
Rebound range: Long near 2285--2300
Support: 2255
First target: 2350, second target: 2390
The 4-hour chart shows a large bearish candle and a pullback, which is a correction after the rally. Look to the previous low for support and consider long positions on a rebound. Only buy dips after prices stabilize; do not chase highs. This is a rebound trade on a pullback to support, provided the 2280 level holds. If prices break below support on sustained high volume, do not hold losing positions; abandon the long bias, as the market will w

Google Cloud revenue surged 103%, yet its stock was hammered nearly 10%! Microsoft’s grew just 48%, but the market rewarded it?
These two earnings reports from last night are well worth a closer look.
Both are AI giants, and both are racing to build data centers, but their stocks moved in completely opposite directions after hours.

Quarterly revenue was $92.3 billion, up 19% year over year, with net income of $36.6 billion.
The standout was Azure: revenue grew 48%, above market expectations.

Entry: Short near the rebound to 80400-80600
Stop-loss: Above 80850
Target: 79600-79200
If price retests near 79100 and stabilizes, go long
Market analysis: On the 1-hour timeframe, price just broke below the consolidation platform on increased volume. The MACD lines have turned downward, and the green bars continue to expand, indicating that short-term bearish pressure is being released. After the repeatedly tested support zone was broken, it has turned into resistance above; prioritize looking for a rejection and pullback on any rebound. Only if price r

What Is the Sortino Ratio? Why Can Focusing Only on Volatility Lead to Misjudging a Trading Strategy?
In cryptocurrency trading, two strategies can deliver similar returns yet feel very different in terms of risk. One strategy may frequently experience sharp drops, while the other mainly sees upward fluctuations. If risk is measured only by ordinary volatility, this difference may be overlooked. The Sortino Ratio is a metric that helps provide additional analysis.
First, what is the Sortino Ratio?
The Sortino Ratio measures the relationship between returns above a target return and downside ri
