When the Market Crashes, Why Can Forced Liquidations Further Intensify the Downtrend?

In crypto markets, prices sometimes just begin to fall, then the decline suddenly accelerates. Large numbers of positions are forcibly liquidated, more sell orders enter the market, and prices fall further, triggering a series of sharp fluctuations.

This may be due to a market mechanism known as a “liquidation cascade.”

First, leverage amplifies the impact of price changes on accounts.

When using leverage, traders only need to put up part of the margin to establish a larger position. Therefore, the same p

In the AI era, the most dangerous thing for entrepreneurs isn’t having no money—it’s still having a mindset stuck in the past!

What is the most expensive cost of starting a business?
Many people would say funding, talent, or office rent.
But I believe the most expensive cost is outdated thinking.
Now that AI can help businesses analyze markets, organize information, generate content, and optimize workflows, entrepreneurs who insist that everything must be done manually may find the efficiency gap growing ever wider.
It’s like others are already riding high-speed trains while you’re still figu

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

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

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

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

Suppose an asset’s spot price is 100,000 USDT and its futures price is 102,000 USDT, for an apparent gap of 2,000 USDT

What Is the Market Pricing When the Spot-Futures Basis Widens?

In the crypto market, besides price, trading volume, and funding rates, there is another metric worth watching: the basis.

Sometimes, Bitcoin's spot price changes little, while its futures price is significantly higher than spot; at other times, the futures price is lower than spot. This difference is more than just a numerical change—it may also reflect differing expectations about future prices, funding costs, and demand for positions.

First, understand what the basis is.

The basis usually refers to the difference between the

$BTC Bitcoin has already fallen below 68,000. The Fear & Greed Index is still in extreme fear, and nobody dares to buy the dip for now. Keep falling; it will probably need to drop below 60k before institutions and whales come out to buy the dip and stabilize the market. $BTC

The trading market never clocks out, but my weekend can!

It was only after I started investing that I realized the hardest part isn’t judging the market, but learning when not to watch it.
Whenever the weekend came around, I used to feel like I had to catch every single move. While others went out, I watched charts; while others went to dinner, I followed the news; while others slept, I was still studying the market.
By the end of the day, I hadn’t learned anything new about the market, but my dark circles had become more and more noticeable.
There’s been plenty of volatility this week, and t

It’s not about getting lucky with profits, but seeing the trend clearly in advance.
Many people can’t find the right entry points on their own and keep getting stopped out.

$SNDK SHORT ALERT — SELLERS TARGETING 871.86 NEXT!

Entry: 919.37
SL: 946.50

TP1: 905.00
TP2: 890.00
TP3: 871.86

$SNDK is facing renewed selling pressure after a sharp rejection from 968.30. The recovery has failed to hold, with lower highs and fresh bearish candles showing sellers regaining control. A breakdown below 915 could accelerate the decline toward 890 and potentially 871.86.

Invalidation: A sustained recovery above 946.50 weakens the bearish setup.

Researchers analyzed the underlying weights of six Chinese AI models, including DeepSeek-V4-Pro, Kimi K3, and MiniMax-M3, and made a startling discovery:
During training initialization, some models appear to have retained hardware fingerprints suspected to be from NVIDIA Blackwell chips.
This could be a big deal: it means revenue and profits from $NVDA 's illegal direct sales to China may be even higher than previously disclosed!
