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

What Is Open Interest (OI)? Why Doesn’t Rising Open Interest Necessarily Mean Prices Will Rise Soon?
In crypto futures trading, many people see open interest continue to rise and assume the market is about to rally. But open interest reflects the size of contracts that have not yet been closed, not simply the amount of buying capital. To correctly understand market movements, OI must be analyzed alongside price, trading volume, and funding rates.
First, what is OI?
Open interest (OI) refers to the total number of contracts that remain open at a given point in time. OI may increase when new con

Congress Changes Hands; Crypto Investors Shouldn't Rush to Conclusions
In the same election, Bitcoin fell and then rose. Trading based only on news headlines can easily leave you getting hit from both sides.
After Democrats won majorities in both the House and Senate, the market briefly worried that crypto regulations would tighten. But the November 4 price action didn't keep falling: BTC first dropped below $76k, then recovered its losses, and later that day climbed back above $80k.
There are two details to distinguish. First, the new Congress won't take office until January 2027, so policy w

What Is Order Book Depth? Why Can a Large Order Cause Significant Price Volatility When Liquidity Is Insufficient?
In cryptocurrency trading, orders of the same size can produce completely different execution results under different market conditions. Sometimes a large order enters the market and the price barely moves; at other times, a single order can drive the price up or down rapidly. One of the key factors behind this is order book depth.
First, what is order book depth?
The order book displays limit buy and sell orders placed by traders at different prices. Order book depth reflects the

What Is a Range Trading Strategy? Why Might It Be More Suitable in a Sideways Market, Yet Risky During a Strong Trend Breakout?
In cryptocurrency trading, prices do not always keep rising or falling. When the market lacks a clear direction and prices repeatedly fluctuate within a certain range, a range trading strategy may be useful. But once the price truly breaks out of the range, the original trading logic may quickly become invalid.
First, what is a range trading strategy?
Range trading involves identifying support and resistance zones where prices repeatedly fluctuate, looking for buying

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

Navigating the NFP Storm: The Good News is Bad News Paradox
The recent ADP employment report surprised to the upside, adding 86,000 jobs in October. While this highlights economic resilience, the upcoming official Nonfarm Payrolls release is creating a complex setup for risk assets.
Let us break down the questions every trader is asking right now.
Is better data always more bullish, or is a moderate cooling better for the market? It is rarely that simple. We are currently in a macroeconomic environment where good news is bad news for risk assets. Stronger-than-expected data

What Is the Relative Strength Index (RSI)? Why Don’t Overbought Conditions Guarantee a Drop, and Oversold Conditions a Rebound?
In cryptocurrency trading, RSI is a common technical analysis indicator that can help traders assess price momentum. But many people immediately short when they see RSI above 70 or rush to buy the dip when it falls below 30, only to find that prices may move in the opposite direction. The issue is that the indicator reflects market conditions, not an inevitable price reversal.
First, what is RSI?
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) typically ranges from 0 to 100 and mea

Does BTC Still Have a Chance Tonight? How Can Beginners Catch This Move in Futures Trading!
BTC quickly rallied from around 78,300 to above 81,000, and has now returned to around 80,500 to trade sideways. Can we still trade tonight? Let me start with one point: the most dangerous thing right now isn’t getting the direction wrong, but seeing the move start and then rushing to enter.
I’ll break down tonight’s market using a multi-timeframe quantitative approach:

What Is the MACD Indicator? How Can You Use Fast/Slow Line Crossovers and the Histogram to Observe Changes in Trend Momentum?
In cryptocurrency trading, short-term price fluctuations can easily cloud judgment. MACD is a commonly used trend-following indicator that helps traders analyze trend direction and momentum by observing the crossover of two lines and changes in the histogram. However, it cannot accurately predict every price rise or fall, and should not be used in isolation from market conditions.
First, what is MACD?
MACD stands for Moving Average Convergence Divergence. Common setting

that’s better than the current momentum continuing to carry it downward

Gate has officially launched Proof of Security, or PoSEC, extending beyond Proof of Reserves by disclosing the distribution of cold-storage and hot-wallet assets and introducing a cold storage coverage ratio to measure protection under extreme-risk scenarios. Gate’s latest cold storage coverage ratio stands at 104.58%, with 88.26% of assets in cold storage and 11.74% in hot wallets. A coverage ratio of at least 100% means cold-storage assets alone would still be sufficient to cover all user assets even if hot-wallet assets were fully lost. Exchange security is not only about whether reserves are sufficient, but also how assets are stored and protected under extreme conditions. Could cold storage coverage become a new industry standard?[👉 Learn more](https://gate.com/proof-of-security)
