Why Can Spot-Futures Arbitrage Still Lose Money in Practice, Even Though It Seems Like a Sure Bet?

When Bitcoin futures prices are significantly higher than spot prices, a common strategy is to buy spot while selling futures, then wait for the price gap to narrow and profit from it.

This strategy is commonly known as cash-and-carry arbitrage. It has a clear pricing rationale, but that does not mean it is risk-free.

First, the price gap is not the same as the final profit.

Suppose an asset has a spot price of 100,000 USDT and a futures price of 102,000 USDT. The apparent price gap is 2,000

How Can Moving Averages Help Identify Trends? Why Don’t Short-Term Moving Average Crossovers Necessarily Signal a Reversal?

In crypto markets, moving averages (MAs) are a common tool for observing price trends. They smooth out short-term price fluctuations and help traders identify market direction, but moving average crossovers are not definitive signals for predicting price movements.

First, what is a moving average system?

A moving average is a curve calculated from the average price over a set period. Common settings include MA20, MA60, and MA120, which are used to observe short-, mediu

November 17 will be the real test! After Jensen Huang’s departure, can Nvidia’s earnings report still steady investor confidence?

Jensen Huang’s departure has already shaken the market, but what may truly determine Nvidia’s next move is its upcoming earnings report.
According to Nvidia’s announcement, the company plans to release its fiscal 2027 third-quarter results on November 17.
This earnings report may be more important than usual.
That’s because investors now need to assess two questions at once: whether Nvidia’s business is healthy, and whether the company can maintain its previous gro

BlackRock's tokenized BUIDL fund now has a $100 million liquidity facility that allows eligible investors to exchange their holdings for stablecoins outside traditional market hours.
The service officially launched on November 12 through a partnership between Securitize and Ethena Labs.
For context, BUIDL is BlackRock's tokenized money market fund, which gives eligible investors exposure to short-term, dollar-denominated financial instruments.
But even when a fund is represented on a blockchain, accessing liquidity outside normal banking hours can still be difficult.

What is position sizing? Why can an oversized position force an account out of the market early, even when a trading strategy has an edge?

In cryptocurrency trading, getting the direction right is certainly important, but how much capital you commit to each trade also determines whether your account can survive over the long term. Even if a strategy has positive expected returns, an oversized position can lead to losses that are difficult to recover from after an unexpected price move or a series of losing trades.

First, what is position sizing?

Position sizing is the process of determining

1,943 support has broken; 1,896 was reached.
Ethereum $ETH fell to 1,896 on Friday morning, folks. That’s a drop of around 3.8% from Thursday’s close, and the daily RSI fell to 25. On the weekly chart, price fell below the 2,003 level and 1,943 support I pointed out.
Price is now back around 1,943. If the daily close is above this level, the breakdown will remain just a wick. If it closes below, the 1,822 level I marked on the chart will be the target. Just below that is 1,784.
For a recovery, 2,003 must be reclaimed first. Then 2,174 comes into play.

When Signals Across Multiple Timeframes Conflict, Which One Should You Follow?

The daily chart shows an uptrend, the 4-hour chart is pulling back, and the 15-minute chart suddenly signals a breakout. Faced with conflicting charts, many traders hesitate: Should they buy, sell, or keep waiting?

The problem isn’t necessarily that one timeframe is wrong, but whether you’ve defined each timeframe’s role in advance.

First, determine your trading time horizon.

If you’re a short-term trader, you need to be clear about your intended holding period and exit conditions. If you plan to hold for severa

SOL shorts nailed the rhythm from start to finish! Trend-following shorts from elevated levels dominated across the board!
We had already identified 86 as resistance and a short opportunity. Yesterday, price made a slight test, rallying to 85.83 before touching resistance, stalling, and turning lower. Shorts played out as expected! A break below 80 was clearly expected, with 78 as the ultimate target!
The morning market lived up to the forecast, dropping straight to a low of 77 and exceeding the target! We locked in a solid 8-point profit on the full swing!

Guys, Jacket (leather jacket) has hit 2m, and its market cap is now 2.22 million.
This afternoon, I called it at 980k and said hitting 2m would be easy. It got there in less than an hour, more than doubling.
The “save Old Huang” narrative is just that strong. Old Huang’s leather jacket, He Yi getting involved, and an Nvidia token liquidity pool—put these together, and it’s hard not to go up.
Those who got in at 980k, enjoying the gains? You can take your principal out first and keep holding the rest with profits.

What Is the Funding Rate? Why Should Perpetual Contract Traders Pay Attention to It?

In the cryptocurrency market, perpetual contracts have no fixed expiration date. The funding rate mechanism helps keep contract prices relatively close to spot prices. For those who trade contracts frequently, the funding rate affects not only the cost of holding a position but can also offer clues about market sentiment.

First, what is the funding rate?

The funding rate is a periodic exchange of fees between holders of long and short positions in perpetual contracts. Typically, when the funding rate is pos

What Is Leverage? Why Does Higher Leverage Often Leave Less Room for Error?

In cryptocurrency trading, leverage allows traders to control a larger position with less margin, but it does not make market risk disappear. On the contrary, the higher the leverage, the greater the impact a price move of the same magnitude usually has on margin.

First, what is leverage?

Leverage is a way to control a larger trading position using margin. For example, ignoring other factors, with 10x leverage, 100 USDT in margin can be used to open a position with a notional value of about 1,000 USDT. But this does

What are support and resistance levels? Why do these price zones influence traders’ decisions, yet are not absolutely reliable boundaries?

In crypto trading, prices often repeatedly bounce or pull back in certain zones. Traders usually call these zones support and resistance levels. They can help analyze market structure, but they do not guarantee that prices will bounce or reverse.

First, what are support and resistance levels?

A support level is a zone where buying pressure may increase and a price decline may temporarily slow; a resistance level is a zone where selling pressure may incre
