What Is the Funding Rate? Why Can Perpetual Contracts Incur Ongoing Holding Costs Even When Prices Barely Move?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on price movements after opening a position and overlook the funding rate. For perpetual contract traders, even if prices move sideways for an extended period, holding a position may still generate additional costs or returns as long as the funding rate is nonzero.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a mechanism through which longs and shorts in perpetual contracts make periodic payments to help keep contract prices c

$HUT HUT plunged 21.98% in 24 hours, with the price at 48.88 and a low of 47.63. Trading volume was down to just 3.3M—this isn’t a pullback; it’s a liquidity stampede. BTC is flatlining ahead of the Fed’s rate decision, with all the money waiting for Powell to speak. Altcoins and mining stocks are being drained first, and high-beta names like HUT fall three times harder than BTC—that’s a hard rule. Everyone is betting on rate cuts, but look closely: HUT fell from 62.69 to 47.63, a 24% drop. How much did BTC move over the same period? This is the real volatility of mining stocks during periods

Why Is Not Trading Sometimes the Better Decision?
In the cryptocurrency market, there is a strange phenomenon:
When the market is rising, people fear missing out; when it falls, they fear not buying the dip in time; when they see others making money, they can't help wanting to follow suit; after going several days without trading, they may even wonder if they're falling behind.
So many people start trading frequently.
But there is a question worth thinking about carefully:
Is the purpose of trading to catch every fluctuation, or to make decisions while understanding and being able to manage th

#SK海力士跌近7% #美股财报季 The decline in storage and AI chip stocks this time was mainly due to profit-taking after a strong rally, prompted by the U.S. midterm election results. Storage demand itself has not noticeably weakened; the market is reassessing the pace of AI data center construction.
On November 5, SK Hynix fell about 6.7%, while Samsung Electronics also dropped nearly 6%.
Why it looks more like profit-taking
Big gains and crowded positioning: SK Hynix and Samsung were the stocks with the largest net foreign selling this year, as investors rebalanced their portfolios.

What Is the MACD Indicator? How Can You Use Crossovers and the Histogram to Track Changes in Trend Momentum?
In cryptocurrency trading, short-term price fluctuations can easily cloud your judgment. MACD is a common trend-following indicator that helps traders analyze trend direction and momentum by observing crossovers between two lines and changes in the histogram. However, it cannot accurately predict every price rise or fall, and it is not suitable for use on its own without considering market conditions.
First, what is MACD?
MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence Divergence, and its co

The easiest mistake to make in a bull market: mistaking luck for skill.
When the cryptocurrency market starts rising, you'll find that it suddenly seems like there are a lot of trading experts around you.
Someone buys a token and their account quickly doubles; someone correctly anticipates a market move; and someone else gets good results from several trades in a row.
Social media starts filling up with profit screenshots, accurate predictions, and success stories.
Everyone seems to have their own method, and everyone can explain why they made money.
But at this point, we should ask ourselves

SNDK fell again last night, closing at 1037 after plunging 9% at one point intraday.
Before earnings, it was still at 1405. In less than a week, it fell 26%.
When it dropped to 1150 last Friday, Dachao said not to rush into buying the dip and to wait for it to hold steady for a few days. But it failed to hold 1150, then failed to hold 1093, and kept plunging. Those who didn't rush to buy the dip dodged another bullet.
This isn't just about SanDisk. Micron and Western Digital also fell 7%, with the entire storage sector being dumped.
