Why Can Following the Popular Direction Be Riskier When Funding Rates Are High?

In the cryptocurrency market, when a coin continues to rise, discussion on social platforms grows increasingly heated, and perpetual contract funding rates keep climbing, many traders may think: Since so many people are bullish, there should still be an opportunity to jump in now.

But the more crowded the market becomes, the more important it is to pay attention to risk. A high funding rate is not a definitive signal that the market is about to reverse, but it may remind us that holding costs and market expectati

is shocking
shows this is just a rally triggered by bears taking a break after Thursday's historic victory
still nowhere near a reversal

On Gearbox’s mEDGE / USDC page, Net APY (7D) at 6.0x leverage was shown as -2.97%.
Collateral APY (7D) was 28.98%, while Borrow Rate (7D) was 31.95%, making the difference negative. The APY on the list or strategy page combines collateral yield and borrowing costs; it is not a standalone figure.
A strategy appearing on the page does not mean you can open a position at your desired size right now. The SDK’s maxBorrowAmount indicates the maximum amount you can currently borrow to add to a position, taking available liquidity and debt caps into account.

What Is Open Interest (OI), and What Market Changes Can It Help Us Understand?

In crypto derivatives trading, many people watch prices and trading volume every day but overlook another important indicator: open interest, or OI.

OI can help us understand how many contracts in the derivatives market remain open, and observe market participation and changes in positions. But it is not a magic indicator for predicting price direction and needs to be analyzed alongside prices and other data.

First, what exactly is OI?

Open interest refers to the number of contracts that have not yet been settle

$BIRB is flashing a warning sign after $1.2007K in long liquidations at $0.09407. Buyers are under pressure, and the market could test lower levels if selling continues. Watch $0.0920–$0.0940 as the immediate support area, with resistance around $0.0960–$0.0990. 🎯 Downside targets: $0.0900 and $0.0870. Stop-loss: Above $0.1000 for a short setup. If price reclaims $0.0960 with strong volume, a recovery could develop. Otherwise, another bearish move remains possible. ‌

Gate isn't playing around this time! Putting fund security front and center, users say: That's how it should be!

#Gate pioneers proof of fund security
In the past, shopping meant comparing prices across stores; now, choosing a crypto trading platform means comparing security across platforms! 😂
After all, that string of numbers on your phone isn't game currency—it's real money.
Gate pioneered proof of fund security, making platform fund transparency a focal point of discussion.
Why is this worth paying attention to?
Because users need more than just an entry point for trading; they also need

That wave at the port in Taiwan swept a crane straight into the sea. I watched the video three times. In the face of natural disasters, people are so small. Stare at the market charts for too long and you start seeing what you want to see. A scene like that is a reality check. If you think I’m talking nonsense, take a screenshot and save it.

$PUMP is showing signs of downside pressure after a notable $10.23K long liquidation around $0.00390. This suggests leveraged buyers are being flushed out, potentially opening the door for further downside liquidity if buyers fail to defend the demand area. A reclaim of nearby resistance would be the first sign of a recovery.
Support: $0.00375 – $0.00385
Resistance: $0.00400 – $0.00415
Next Target: $0.00360
Confirmation: Losing support could extend bearish momentum toward lower liquidity. A strong reclaim of resistance would weaken the bearish setup.
Let's go $PUMP ‌

$XRP Currently trading at 1.1801, 24H -2.87%, with a range of 1.1723–1.2229. The 1H trend is weak (RSI 34.9, below EMA20), as is the 4H trend (RSI 17.5, below EMA20). Watch whether price can hold above 1.2229, or reclaim 1.1723 if it breaks below. Volume is only 0.28x, so any single break needs confirmation from participation. Markets are volatile; for observation only.

#美股史诗级抛售 #每周来晒 #Gate股票畅聊季 How should we view the sharp drop in U.S. stocks?

#Gate’s First-of-Its-Kind Proof of Fund Security
Others post on social media about travel, food, and their balances; Gate is different—it puts its fund security on display! 😂
This move is pretty interesting. After all, in the crypto world, just saying you’re strong isn’t enough—you need to provide proof when it matters.
What matters most to users? Of course, whether their assets are safe! Making money is hard enough as it is; no one wants opening their account every day to
