Many people instinctively assume that a negative funding rate means “shorts are paying and a short squeeze is coming,” and blindly chase longs—this is a typical misconception. A negative funding rate only indicates that the contract is trading at a discount to spot, but if the price has already risen sharply, it may also represent the hedging cost after excessive long leverage. The direction still needs to be judged in conjunction with open interest and volume-price structure.

@snek is quietly putting on a absolute masterclass 🐍
While Top 10 Memes are struggling, snek:native is up 60% over the last 30 days and sitting at a highly bullish 6.0 sentiment score.

$ZAMA Still debating whether to buy? The direction is already clear. Privacy isn’t just a narrative—ZCash entered the top 10 by market cap early, and $ZAMA holding steady at a $200 million market cap is a signal. DeFi’s total value locked will eventually migrate to privacy protocols. Whoever captures this space first will reap the rewards. If you think I’m talking nonsense, save a screenshot. #ZAMA Keep an eye on it.

$ATOM Current price 2.06, up 17.11% over 24h, with a trading volume of 22.3M USDT and a funding rate of +0.0100%—longs are paying to hold positions, indicating that leveraged long positions are already significantly crowded. On the moving-average front, MA5=2.0438 has risen above MA20=1.9679, and the trend structure remains bullish; however, RSI=71.0 has entered overbought territory, with the Bollinger upper band at 2.09484 directly overhead. The 30-candle amplitude is 21.37%, so the risk of sharp wicks is not low. The Fear & Greed Index is 59, with the market in the greed range; sentiment is

Meanwhile, another $316.6M exited $BTC and $ETH ETFs.
Here’s what matters 👇

$PI Pi Network is thinking beyond mere transactions.
Stablecoin exploration shows that Pi is looking at how to make its ecosystem more useful for businesses, developers, and everyday Pioneers.
The interesting part? Pi wants the stablecoin to complement $PI, not replace its role in the ecosystem.
With the OUSD partnership, potential rewards for Pioneers, and carefully designed integration, this is worth watching closely.
The goal is not merely to add another crypto asset. It is to build an ecosystem where different tools serve real purposes.

Woke up to receive my payment from Lao Ma! I thought I wasn’t getting anything this cycle.
After all, my creator earnings weren’t unlocked until the 6th of this month.
I didn’t expect to receive this much—feeling great.

$STRK is surging — but can the momentum translate into lasting value?
Starknet’s potential evolution beyond Ethereum Layer 2 raises a critical question: will technical progress create stronger demand for $STRK ?
A compelling narrative can attract traders, but sustainable value depends on real adoption, token utility, and demand.
The real test isn’t the rally. It’s whether fundamentals can justify it.

Bearish on the 10th; once the key level breaks, go heavily short.

October is here! Which #Alcoin do you think will pump next? 👀

Today was pretty good, and I gave three entry levels
Two trades were profitable; in one, I realized something was off and let everyone exit at breakeven
Although the gains weren't that big, I also said the day before yesterday
Today was about scalping short-term moves, but the fluctuations were small, and watching the market made me sleepy
So I exited a bit early on the next move. Tomorrow, I'll keep at it
Watching the market, chatting, and trading the range!
My own short position is also showing unrealized profit today.
Let's continue tomorrow!!$BTC $GT $ETH #Gate亮相TOKEN2049 #GateWCTC

Bitcoin is slowly becoming part of government treasuries.
The US and China are among the biggest holders, while Bhutan and El Salvador have also built meaningful BTC positions.
What's interesting is that governments are taking different routes. Some are buying and accumulating, while others hold Bitcoin mainly through seizures.
Either way, the message is clear:
Governments can't ignore Bitcoin anymore.
The bigger question is how much $BTC they'll hold over the next few years.
