Many people instinctively assume that a negative funding rate means “shorts are paying, so you should go long,” but this inference often fails in one-sided markets. A negative funding rate only indicates that the futures price is below the spot price; it is the aftermath of leveraged longs being flushed out and does not mean new longs have entered.
$A This is exactly that structure. It has surged 42.03% in 24h, with the current price at 4.474, already near the Bollinger upper band at 4.60759. MA5=4.2898 is above MA20=3.75875, showing a bullish moving-average alignment, while the MACD histogram

ZEC hits a new all-time high
How are my short-selling friends doing now? At this short-squeeze pace, breaking above $2,000 really is just a matter of moments!

Remember how ZEC plunged in the first half of the year due to unlimited issuance, with pessimism everywhere.
Long-time followers of Muhan know that I publicly flagged it on the 17th: build long positions at 1,350, with a target of 1,500.
After the price broke above 1,500, I still remained bullish without wavering!

Today, it set another all-time high, reaching as high as 1,588!

I had already finished complaining to my friends about this week’s market, but now I have to take it all back. A bit awkward.

A few days ago, I checked $SKHYNIX before bed. It held after the pullback, buying momentum strengthened, and I told those in long positions not to panic—it was forming a base without breaking down. From 1171.00 to 1335.02, unrealized profit +994.56%. Those who got on board must have woken up laughing.

Take 80% off the table first, and protect the remaining 20% at the entry price. Put the bulk of the profit in your pocket first; if it keeps surging, let the profits r

Everyone is chasing the daily bullish trend, but the 1h tells a different story.

$ENA /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 0.18906 – 0.19158
SL: 0.20602
TP1: 0.17854
TP2: 0.17069
TP3: 0.15891

Why this setup?
Why now? The 1h price is sitting at 0.19036, which is dangerously close to the entry zone of 0.19032, offering a precise short opportunity. The 15m RSI is at 69.77, signaling that momentum is stretched and a mean reversion drop is imminent. The 1h ATR of 0.005033 confirms that the current volatility is sufficient to push the price from the entry toward the first target of 0.17854. If the

I was in a pretty bad mood today, but felt a little better after opening my account—at least staying up wasn’t for nothing.

A few days ago, the screen was filled with green candles in the afternoon, and I was asked several times whether I should exit. I only replied: Hold for now as long as the bottom consolidates sideways without breaking down. Opened a long at 2.212, now at 5.373, with floating profit of +6895.57%. Nailed the timing.

Don’t lose your patience in a range, only to try to regain your dignity in a one-way move.

Why this setup?
Why now? The 4h trend is bearish with 84% confidence while the daily trend remains bullish, creating a perfect reversal setup at the 1h price of 111.91. The 15m RSI at 41.74 signals weakening momentum without being oversold, meaning the next leg down has room to run before a bounce. The 1h ATR of 1.101192 shows the market is active enough for a sharp move to hit TP1 at 109.33, then extend

🔥 ONE CANDLE COULD CHANGE BTC’S WHOLE SEPTEMBER STORY
BTC is back around $81.3K and the chart is getting interesting.
The big thing I’m watching now is the September monthly close.
$82.46K → breakout zone
$81K → current battle
$78.3K → key support
$74.9K → major support
If BTC closes September strong above $82.46K, October could start with a much stronger structure.
But if price falls back below $78.3K, this move could turn into another rejection.
Sometimes one candle tells the story. Let’s see what September writes. 👀

There is a particular verse in the Bible that I always run to whenever I feel down, discouraged, or overwhelmed. I take my time to study it, meditate on it, and remind myself of God's promises.
Isaiah 60:22 (Read it when you have the time)
Personally, I see this as God speaking to us with authority. It reminds me that as long as we keep working hard, remain consistent, and continue showing up, our time will come.
And when God decides that it is our time, He will make it happen.

#WeekendMarketBullishOrBearish #weeklyshare #ShareWeekly
The weekend crypto market is entering an important decision zone. Bitcoin has recovered strongly from its recent low, Ethereum is holding above $BTC and Solana is also showing resilience near $ETH
The bigger question now is simple:
Is this the beginning of another upside move, or is the market preparing for a weekend pullback?
My current view is cautiously bullish, but I would not treat the recent recovery as confirmation of a guaranteed rally. Price needs to prove that buyers can defend the important support areas.

The weekend crypto market is entering an important decision zone. Bitcoin has recovered strongly from its recent low, Ethereum is holding above $2,600, and Solana is also showing resilience near $112.
The bigger question now is simple:
Is this the beginning of another upside move, or is the market preparing for a weekend pullback?
My current view is cautiously bullish, but I would not treat the recent recovery as confirmation of a guaranteed rally. Price needs to prove that buyers can defend the important support areas.
BITCOIN — THE MAIN MARKET SIGNAL
BTC is currently around $80,976, with a 24-hour high of $81,739 and a 24-hour low of $77,322.
The most important area remains the $80K psychological level.
Bitcoin has moved back above $80K after testing much lower levels, which shows that buyers have returned with meaningful strength. But the next challenge is whether BTC can remain above $80K and eventually take out the $81,739 high.
If BTC holds above $80K and breaks the $81,739–$82K area with strong participation, the next zones I would watch are:
$83K
$84K
$85K
$88K
These are potential reaction zones, not guaranteed targets.
On the other hand, losing $80K would immediately make the structure less comfortable. Below that, $78K becomes important, followed by the $77K–$76K area.
For me, BTC is currently in a confirmation phase rather than a chase phase.
ETHEREUM — CAN ETH HOLD $2,600?
ETH is currently trading around $2,615, with a 24-hour high of $2,646 and a 24-hour low of $2,474.
The $2,600 area is now an important psychological reference point.
If ETH continues holding above $2,600 and breaks $2,646, momentum could open the door toward $2,650–$2,700.
But the downside levels matter just as much.
A move back below $2,600 would suggest that buyers are struggling to maintain the recovery, while $2,500 becomes a key area to watch. The recent $2,474 low is an even more important reference if selling pressure accelerates.
So for ETH, I want to see price stability above $2,600 before becoming more confident about another upside extension.
SOLANA — THE HIGHER-BETA TEST
SOL is currently around $112, with a 24-hour high of $114 and a 24-hour low of $105.
SOL is sitting close to the top of its current 24-hour range, which makes $114 the immediate breakout level.
A clean move above $114 could bring $116–$120 into focus as potential areas of interest.
However, if SOL fails to break $114 and starts losing $110–$108, momentum could cool quickly. The $105 24-hour low is the major downside reference from the current setup.
SOL can move faster than BTC and ETH in both directions, so volatility needs to be respected.
PRICE IS IMPORTANT — BUT LIQUIDITY IS MORE IMPORTANT
One thing I am watching closely this weekend is the relationship between price and volume.
A breakout with strong volume is generally more meaningful than a breakout happening on thin liquidity.
If BTC breaks $82K while participation expands, that would provide stronger confirmation.
If BTC moves higher but volume falls sharply, I would be more cautious about a possible false breakout.
The same principle applies to ETH and SOL.
WHAT COULD CHANGE THE BULLISH SETUP?
There are several levels I would monitor carefully:
BTC below $80K → first warning
BTC below $78K → increasing downside pressure
BTC below $76K–$77K → recovery structure becomes significantly weaker
ETH below $2,600 → momentum warning
ETH below $2,500 → deeper pullback risk
SOL below $108 → short-term momentum weakens
SOL below $105 → current rebound structure becomes much weaker
Weekend markets can also experience sudden moves because liquidity conditions can change quickly. Liquidations, macro headlines and unexpected news can create fast candles in either direction.
MY WEEKEND GAME PLAN
Bullish continuation: BTC holds $80K and breaks $81,739–$82K, while ETH stays above $2,600 and SOL pushes through $114.
Consolidation: BTC remains around $80K–$82K, ETH stays near $2,600 and SOL trades between $108–$114. This would suggest the market is digesting the recent recovery.
Bearish reversal: BTC loses $80K with increasing selling pressure, while ETH falls below $2,600 and SOL loses $108–$105.
FINAL VIEW
My weekend stance remains cautiously bullish, but confirmation is more important than prediction.
BTC at $80,976 is sitting directly around the key $80K psychological zone.
ETH at $2,615 is testing whether $2,600 can become reliable support.
SOL at $112 is approaching its $114 resistance.
Three assets, three important levels, and one common question:
Can buyers turn this recovery into a sustained move?
I will be watching BTC $80K, BTC $81,739–$82K, ETH $2,600, ETH $2,646, SOL $114 and SOL $105 very closely.
No FOMO. No chasing green candles.
Let the market confirm the direction first.

I didn’t make any particular judgment—I just held it a little longer and didn’t expect it to cooperate so much. When I checked the chart after lunch, $JCT lacked momentum on every push upward, volume failed to follow, and overhead resistance was obvious. What I saw was insufficient buying support, so I judged that the rebound was simply an opportunity to short.

0.002429 short entry, 0.001675 current price, +761.19% secured—feels great, brothers. This profit feels good.

Close 80% first, and protect the remaining 20% at the entry price. Even if it rebounds, don’t give the profits back.

Everyone is calling UNI a buy, but the 1h setup screams short.

$UNI /USDT - SHORT

Trade Plan:
Entry: 9.125 – 9.253
SL: 9.982
TP1: 8.594
TP2: 8.198
TP3: 7.604

Why this setup?
Why now? The daily trend is still bullish, yet the 1h price is parked at 9.189, and the 15m RSI sits at 55.62, meaning momentum is neutral and ripe for a pullback inside the entry zone of 9.125 to 9.253. The 1h ATR of 0.254068 tells us volatility is compact enough to target TP1 at 8.594 and TP2 at 8.198 before exhaustion, with the invalidation level at 7.385 acting as the hard line in the sand against this bearish th
