$ETH Today ends perfectly, closing positions and sleeping, without holding positions overnight [Two major pitfalls in contract trading: frequent opening of positions + holding positions overnight, 90% of people are falling into this trap!] One more point: try not to engage in altcoin contracts.
There are always people who treat contracts like gambling: placing dozens of orders a day, busy like a headless fly. Not only are the fees eating into profits, but decisions driven by emotions will only be repeatedly harvested by the market. What’s worse, some hold onto positions overnight with a "gambling mentality," unaware that every minute you spend sleeping is a chance for the market makers to sharpen their knives. You can't watch the market 24/7, yet you insist on giving the market plenty of opportunities to harvest you!
The essence of contract trading is never about "doing more", but about "precision": lurking like a crocodile, patiently waiting for the best opportunity, a single precise strike is better than a hundred blind followers; at the same time, always remember that "overnight is risk, frequent trading must lead to losses", do not be greedy or impatient, and timely take profits and cut losses in order to survive in the contract market for a long time!
On the on-chain level, the total Lock-up Position value has decreased, with weekly network fees dropping by 13%, and weakened on-chain activity impacting the deflation narrative. In the market, long-term holders are Buy the Dips, but early participants are dumping their chips, leading to a short positions bias among top traders.
Macro-wise, the Fed's expectations for a rate cut in December provide support; however, issues such as layoffs in U.S. companies and expanding deficits may lead institutions to shrink their positions in high Fluctuation assets like Ethereum, making it difficult to reach $4000 in the short term. Attention should be paid to network fees, labor data, and other indicators.
