What Is a Funding Rate? Why Should Perpetual Contract Traders Pay Attention to It?
In the cryptocurrency market, perpetual contracts have no fixed expiration date, and the funding rate mechanism can help keep contract prices relatively close to spot prices. For frequent contract traders, the funding rate not only affects holding costs but can also offer clues about market sentiment.
First, what is a funding rate?
A funding rate is a periodic exchange of fees between long and short perpetual contract holders. Typically, when the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it is negative, s

What Is a Stop-Loss? Why Can’t Setting One Completely Prevent Losses?
In cryptocurrency trading, stop-losses are an important risk management tool, but many traders mistakenly believe that setting one will strictly limit losses to the expected range. In reality, a stop-loss can help carry out a risk plan, but it cannot guarantee the final execution price.
First, what is a stop-loss?
A stop-loss is an order to close a position or sell when the price reaches a predefined condition, helping limit potential losses. For example, if the price falls below a predetermined risk level after you buy, you

$UAI is finally showing some strength after a prolonged downtrend.
After spending hours under selling pressure, buyers stepped in with a strong bullish candle, pushing price toward $0.11
But there is one important resistance ahead: $0.115.
I don’t want to rush into this trade. My preferred approach is to wait for price to break above $0.115 and confirm strength around $0.118.
Short-term momentum is improving, but the bigger trend still needs confirmation.
My trading plan:
Entry: Only after price breaks and sustains above $0.118
Targets: 0.125, 0.133, 0.15, 0.20
Don’t enter just because of one

The big one is coming—Trump has started cashing out his crypto assets.
He’s probably about to face a reckoning, so he’s rushing to cash out his BTC while he still has some power.
The scary thing is, if the whales and their affiliates start dumping too, who’s going to buy?

$DOT One detail nobody’s mentioned: DOT’s trading volume today was just over 4 million, barely more than what I spend on breakfast.
What does 4 million even mean? At its peak, this thing did billions a day. And it’s still going up on this kind of volume? Who are they kidding?
A rebound with no buyers. The price is down more than 30% from where it was six months ago. Everyone who got in early and needed to leave has already left; everyone else is playing dead.
A rally without volume is a vacuum bounce—it looks like it’s floating, but falls apart at the slightest touch. If it can’t hold at 0.94,

$NVDAB has already fallen to the edge of oversold territory—this isn't a broad-based decline; capital is picking favorites within the sector. BTC is flat and sentiment isn't panicked, yet it can't even hold above MA5 (198.89), with MA20 (202.377) overhead as resistance, indicating that selling pressure is coming from the asset itself rather than being dragged down by the broader market. RSI is just 33.3, near oversold but not at the bottom; the MACD histogram at -0.3728 still s

#ETH At the current price of 2420, ETH is still moving in tandem with BTC. Its rebound has been weaker than BTC’s, and without an independent positive catalyst, it has yet to break out on its own. In the short term, it is sitting right at the boundary between resistance and support.
The first resistance above is the 2480-2510 range, where underwater positions from earlier and short-term profit-taking orders have accumulated. To open up more upside, BTC needs to hold above around 81800 on strong volume, while ETH also breaks through this range on strong volume. Otherwise, ETH could easily meet

【Trump falls, ten thousand stocks rise】
Trump’s midterm election loss has instead sent markets higher.
U.S. stocks rebounded, A-shares rose, gold strengthened, and oil prices plunged.
The market is finally starting to reprice.
Democrats taking both chambers of Congress means Trump will face more checks on tariffs, fiscal policy, and foreign policy.
Especially the Iran war
Previously, high oil prices drove up inflation and dampened expectations for rate cuts.
Now that Republicans have lost, the market is betting the U.S. may move faster to de-escalate the conflict.
Oil prices have pulled back a
What Is the Difference Between Market Orders and Limit Orders? How Should You Choose in Different Market Conditions?
In cryptocurrency trading, order type affects not only execution speed but also the actual execution price. Market orders and limit orders are the two most common order types. Understanding the difference between them can help reduce unnecessary trading costs.
First, what is a market order?
A market order is an order executed as quickly as possible at the currently available market price. Its advantage is that it can usually be filled quickly, but the final execution price may d

#BrentCrudeFallsBelow100 $XTIUSD $XBRUSD #DailyStandouts
Brent fell below $100 on Wednesday for the first time since October 7, then kept sliding on Thursday to around $93.6, its lowest in about two months. Everyone is asking if this is the start of a bigger fall or just a pause. I think the better question is what exactly got sold. Here is my full read.
The size of the move
Brent was near $118 last Friday, settled at $103.60 on Tuesday, and settled around $94.60 on Wednesday. Thursday is trading near $93.6. That is a fall of about 20% from the peak in four sessions, by my math. It was also t

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)
