Why Can Longs Still Lose Money When the Funding Rate Is Positive?

In crypto perpetual futures trading, many people see a positive funding rate and assume the market is bullish, believing that holding a long position should make it easier to profit. But funding rates reflect the payment mechanism between longs and shorts in the derivatives market; they are not a guarantee that prices will rise.

First, a positive funding rate does not mean prices will definitely rise. A positive funding rate usually means longs pay funding fees to shorts, but prices may still be affected by spot selling pressu

Why Do Altcoins Rise Faster Than BTC and Potentially Fall More Sharply?

In the cryptocurrency market, a common phenomenon is that when BTC rises 3%, some altcoins may rise 10% or even more; but when BTC starts to fall, these altcoins may also see steeper declines. What exactly causes this?

First, market capitalization and liquidity differ. BTC has a larger market size, so it takes substantial capital to move its price significantly. Some altcoins have smaller market caps, making them more prone to sharp fluctuations when capital flows in. But lower liquidity also means large sell orders can

How to Recognize and Avoid Crypto Scams? Don’t Wait Until Your Assets Are at Risk to Learn About Security

In the Web3 world, risks come not only from price volatility; they may also be hidden in a direct message, an airdrop link, or even an apparently ordinary wallet approval.

Many scams don’t rely on complex technology. What they really exploit is often people’s expectations of free rewards, trust in authoritative identities, and poor judgment in urgent situations.

I. Watch Out for Four Common Types of Scams

1. Fake Airdrops and False Rewards

You may receive a message claiming that all y

Why Can You Lose Money in Perpetual Futures Even When You Get the Direction Right?

In crypto futures trading, there’s a particularly frustrating situation: you correctly predict whether BTC will rise or fall, but your account still ends up losing money. The problem may not be your market call, but rather leverage, position size, trading costs, and execution.

First, excessive leverage. Suppose you open a position with a notional value of 10,000 USDT. If the price moves 1% in your favor, the theoretical profit or loss is about 100 USDT; if it moves 1% against you, the theoretical loss is also

🚀11.11 Midday Market Outlook🚀

$ETH 思路：

ETH breaks above 2063 on volume: enter a momentum long and remove the stop-loss.

If ETH breaks below 2052 on volume, enter a momentum short and be sure to set a stop-loss.

If a retest of 2003 confirms support is holding, add one position; set a stop-loss below 1976.

If ETH holds above 2063 on the hourly timeframe, look for 2092-2147.

Watch for ETH to reach 2092 overhead and open one short position; set a stop-loss above 2147.

Left-side wick orders: long at 1976, stop-loss below 1938.

Resistance above: 2063-2092-2147
Support below: 2052

What Is Price-Volume Divergence? Why Might Trading Volume Gradually Decline While Prices Keep Setting New Highs?

In the cryptocurrency market, a phenomenon that warrants caution sometimes occurs: BTC prices keep setting new highs, while trading volume continues to decline. On the surface, the market still looks strong, but in reality, signs of weakening upward momentum may have emerged. This phenomenon is called price-volume divergence.

First, what is price-volume divergence? Simply put, it is when price movements and changes in trading volume are inconsistent. For example, prices continue t

What should retail investors look at as tech giants team up to invest?

When 7 tech companies, including Google, Nvidia, AMD, and Microsoft, jointly participate in Anthropic’s $26 billion private placement, many may wonder: Has AI investing already become a game for giants?
In fact, investments by tech giants send two signals.
First, the strategic value of the AI industry chain is rising. Chips, cloud computing, models, and enterprise applications are becoming increasingly interconnected.
Second, competition in the AI market is shifting from competition between individual products to an overal

Why do prices often reverse after breaking through support and resistance levels?
In crypto trading, many people have experienced this: BTC suddenly breaks through resistance, traders immediately chase longs, and the price quickly turns down; or the price falls below support, shorts have just entered, and the market suddenly rebounds. This phenomenon is often related to false breakouts.
First, understand what a false breakout is. When the price breaks through a key support or resistance level but fails to establish a sustained directional move and instead quickly returns to its previous tradin

If You Lose 10 Trades in a Row, How Can You Tell Whether Your Strategy Has Truly Failed?

In crypto futures trading, consecutive losses are a problem many traders encounter. The most dangerous thing is not the losses themselves, but beginning to doubt your strategy after a losing streak, changing parameters at random, or even continually increasing position sizes to try to win back your losses.

So, does losing 10 trades in a row mean your trading strategy has failed?

First, look at its historical win rate. If a strategy has a long-term win rate of 60%, then 10 consecutive losses are indeed u

#Polymarket年化收入突破18亿美元 $1.8 billion in revenue is real, but the “takeoff” may not land on Polymarket

The prediction market sector is definitely taking off, but Polymarket isn’t necessarily the sure-fire beneficiary.

I. First, separate the two numbers

$1.8 billion is annualized revenue, or about $150 million per month; $14.5 billion is the US site’s nominal trading volume in October. A rough calculation puts the monetization rate around 1%—but note that the figures use different scopes: revenue is global, while the $14.5 billion is only for the US site, so this is just an order-of-magnitude

Why Are You More Likely to Lose After a Winning Streak?

In cryptocurrency trading, consecutive losses can make people cautious, but consecutive wins can sometimes make them let their guard down.

After making a profit on several trades in a row, many people may unconsciously start to feel:

“I’ve figured out how the market works.”

Then they start increasing their position size, loosening their stop-losses, and gradually abandoning the trading plan they once followed strictly.

It is only when an unexpected drawdown wipes out a large portion of their accumulated profits that they realize the

How Should You Read Order Book Depth? How to Identify Real Buying and Selling Pressure

In crypto trading, many people see a buildup of buy orders and assume the price has support; they see a concentration of sell orders and conclude that the market is about to fall. But the order book only shows current open orders—it does not guarantee future market movements.

What is order book depth? Simply put, it shows limit buy and sell orders at different price levels. Buy orders are usually below the current market price, while sell orders are usually above it. Looking at these orders can help us und

What is a market maker? How do they provide liquidity to the market by continuously offering buy and sell quotes, and what risks do they take on?

In the cryptocurrency market, traders need someone to sell when they want to buy, and someone to buy when they want to sell. By continuously offering buy and sell prices, market makers help create more continuous quotes, reduce waiting times for some trades, and improve market liquidity.

First, what is a market maker?

Market makers typically place buy and sell orders in the market at the same time. For example, if an asset has a buy quote of 100 U

Why can’t exchange liquidation data be used directly as a signal to buy the dip?
When Bitcoin suddenly drops sharply and exchange liquidation data surges, many traders think: So many people have already been forcibly liquidated—is the market nearing a bottom?
But in reality, an increase in liquidation volume does not mean the decline is over.
First, we need to understand what liquidation data means. Liquidations reflect cases where some leveraged traders are forcibly closed out by trading platforms due to insufficient margin. They can show the extent of risk being released in the market over a
