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 frequent contract traders, the funding rate affects not only holding costs but can also provide clues about market sentiment.
First, what is the funding rate?
The funding rate is a periodic exchange of fees between long and short position holders in perpetual contracts. Typically, when the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it

Full review of the October 28 ETH long trade:
Geopolitical tensions eased and oil prices fell in the morning session. The strategy was posted publicly at 09:04. Price action confirmed it: ETH retested 2339.31 and stabilized, then rebounded without a deeper dip, reaching a high of 2387.28. Both target levels were hit. $ETH ‌#美联储利率决议倒计时

#美联储利率决议倒计时 #每周来晒 The rate-setting meeting enters a sensitive window! Inaction on the surface, layers of maneuvering behind the scenes
At first glance, the market’s consensus for this Fed meeting is simple: interest rates will most likely stay put. But the timing is anything but easy, with just six days until the midterm elections. Gasoline and food prices remain high, mortgage rates are also elevated, and ordinary people are under considerable pressure from the cost of living.
In this environment, the market will scrutinize every word from the Fed.

In the last bull run, it took nearly a year for $BTC to break through the key resistance level at $30k.
Pretty sure it would drive CT completely insane if that happened again.

Actually, Hynix’s earnings report was just so-so and couldn’t compare with the previous two, but the market rose anyway, while those two flawless, no-weakness earnings reports were followed by sharp drops. I said last week that sentiment was already very low, so expectations for earnings would also be lower. Earnings reports are all about sentiment, and a drop before earnings isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Take-profit and stop-loss: what does each of these 2 settings help you handle?
After buying, many people watch the price and wonder: at what point should I sell if it rises? At what point should I exit if it falls? Take-profit and stop-loss are used to express these two types of plans.
Suppose you buy at 100U and plan to sell when the price rises to 110U; you can set a corresponding take-profit. If you plan to exit when it falls to 95U, you can set a corresponding stop-loss. These prices are only examples to explain the concepts, not recommended trading levels.
Take-profit is used to handle a

One more reminder, based on my eight years of personal experience!
Don’t open trades too frequently, and especially don’t keep adding to a position against the trend to average down your cost. T-trading requires more precise entries and stricter, disciplined execution.
Don’t take oversized positions in extreme market conditions (thinking you can get rich in one go). And don’t get greedy or cling to the so-called “big-picture mindset” in extreme markets, because one minute you may be laughing happily, and the next you may not even have time to cry. (The Fed data release is imminent.)

Something feels off with silver, though I can’t quite put my finger on it. Injective’s testnet has launched silver options, described as fully collateralized calls and puts. Options sound sophisticated, but on the daily chart, they just amplify volatility with leverage. The longer you trade, the more you realize that position sizing always matters more than calling the direction. Where are you setting your stop-loss on this silver move?

$UNI Current price 7.156, 24H +1.84% (6.944–7.274). 1H is mildly bullish, RSI 62; 4H is stronger, RSI 68. EMA20 is at 7.129/7.065. 1H support is 6.944 and resistance is 7.274. Holding above resistance could lead to further gains; if support breaks, watch the 4H support at 6.516. Watch whether 7.274 holds; current volume is only 0.09x, so beware of a false breakout. Market volatility is high; for observation only.
