Many people see a positive funding rate and reflexively conclude that “longs are crowded and a drop is inevitable.” The misconception is that this ignores how the rate is only a momentary snapshot of the cost of longs versus shorts, not the direction itself.
$NEA is up 15.61% over 24h, with a current price of 5.282, but the funding rate is only +0.0025%, a moderate positive value—indicating that this rally has not been accompanied by an extreme influx of leveraged longs, and that FOMO buying remains restrained. In terms of moving averages, MA5=5.2624 is slightly below MA20=5.2727, so the shor

During this entire drop for $BTC , we’ve seen some nice buy walls get absorbed, similar to what we saw in the previous range before expansion.
There’s a clear pattern in what’s happening here.
Whales wait for the range to establish, then place bids around the lows where we are likely to see manipulation.
Pretty much, exactly what I show myself doing a lot of the time. As usual, that’s when most people capitulate.
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out, but one thing is clear, there’s plenty of demand, and very few asks above us.

Arguing is one thing
but you still have to eat
A proper verbal lecture is definitely in order🤨

Previously, this whale has made over $6.6 Million in profits

Seeing the Dow and gold both hovering near highs is unusual. One is near a new high, the other at historic levels, with WTI hovering around 97 in between. These three shouldn’t be moving in lockstep.
My framework is to first check where the Fear and Greed Index stands. If the index is getting euphoric along with prices, that means positioning is already crowded and risk appetite is maxed out. Then even a slightly hawkish Fed comment could trigger a rush for the exits. On the other hand, if prices are high but the sentiment index hasn’t caught up, that’s healthier.
Today, keep an eye on remarks
