What Is the Long-Short Ratio? Why Doesn’t a Majority of Traders Being Long Mean the Market Will Definitely Rise?
In crypto trading, many people see the long-short ratio rise and assume bullish sentiment is strengthening, then choose to chase long positions. But market sentiment and actual price movements do not always align. The long-short ratio can help us understand traders’ positioning bias, but it cannot directly determine how the market will move next.
First, what is the long-short ratio?
The long-short ratio measures the relative proportion of longs to shorts in a given market. However,

I came across Arthur Hayes’ new article again tonight
The title is just five words: D is for Dilution
His numbers are pretty sobering
SpaceX SPCX could face about 50% dilution by June 2027
About 8.6 billion shares are set to unlock
Anthropic faces an even steeper hit
Early investors could face about 83% dilution by then
OpenAI’s IPO is slated for 2027
His reasoning is
Equity dilution → AI stocks come under pressure → banks slow balance sheet expansion → dollar liquidity tightens → short-term headwind for BTC
His own funds will keep waiting on the sidelines
Until liquidity conditions ease again

Bitcoin bounced after testing the liquidity and is now testing the resistance area. A close above this resistance zone will lead to more upward movement in the market.

When you're under a lot of pressure, take a look at big brother CZ: his eyes are full of exhaustion, heartache, and fatigue—he went gray overnight...
Several recent events have made big brother CZ look decades older: 1. The treasury was robbed of $6.9 billion in crypto
2. Trump lost the midterm elections, and the U.S. will reopen its investigation into Trump's decision to release him
All kinds of pressure are weighing on him
But dawn will always come
After all, the market has already started to rebound

large companies spend $15k-$100k a month on AI tokens
a big chunk goes to context search, because their memory layers are inefficient
early benchmarks and testers on @sibyl_labs memory plugin showed from 50% to 98% reduction in token usage
without accuracy loss
you just have to stake 100k base:0x797f214a2cd64a4963a91fa21c8c55ec3eba4714 to get the Pro plan (around $82)
for personnal use, you can plug it into a grok bot for free
good example of a crypto project that builds real utility
and actually brings value back to the token.

$SKHYNIX Down 10%! AI “grain silos” hit by a political black swan—has faith in HBM collapsed overnight?
The “blue wave” in the U.S. midterm elections has triggered an AI regulatory bombshell, halving expectations for data center construction and directly undermining the HBM demand thesis. Foreign investors dumped 1.5 trillion won in a single day and fled, sending SK Hynix into an intraday flash crash to 936. Samsung was dragged down too. With the memory shortage narrative also losing momentum at the margins, AI expectations having been priced in to the extreme, a stampede could erupt at any mo

I think this gold rally is only just getting started. Physical gold held by central banks is getting increasingly scarce. This isn’t simply a price issue; it’s a matter of inventory and delivery. According to data from the World Gold Council, central banks have been net buyers of more than 1,000 tonnes of gold for three consecutive years: about 1,136 tonnes in 2022, 1,037 tonnes in 2023, and 1,045 tonnes in 2024. That’s a clear step up from the average of 400 to 500 tonnes a year over the past decade. Meanwhile, the “visible” buffers—such as free-float inventories in London vaults and delivera

What is the funding rate? Why can perpetual contracts continuously generate holding costs even when prices show no significant change?
In crypto 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, a nonzero funding rate may result in additional costs or returns while holding a position.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a mechanism through which longs and shorts in perpetual contracts make periodic payments to each other, with the aim of

11.4 ETH Long Trade Review | Accurate Read, Profits Beyond Targets
Yesterday morning, I clearly laid out the plan: ETH’s pullback after a surge was a short-term correction, while the broader bullish structure remained intact. I went long directly at the 2240 lower Bollinger Band support, with a stop-loss at 2210 and targets at 2275, 2305, and 2330.
The intraday market followed the script exactly: the price dipped to around 2225, precisely testing the confluence support zone formed by the lower Bollinger Band and the previous trading range. It then began a one-way rally, hitting all three take-

Beyond Proof of Reserves, Gate has introduced PoSEC, a new Proof of Security framework focused on how user assets are stored and protected. By disclosing the distribution of assets across cold storage and hot wallets, users can directly understand Gate’s storage structure and risk coverage under extreme scenarios. Gate’s latest cold storage coverage ratio stands at 104.58%, meaning cold-storage assets alone are sufficient to cover all user assets. PoR verifies whether reserves are sufficient, while PoSEC shows how assets are stored and how risks are covered — together forming a more complete asset security framework.
