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

How Can an Ordinary Trader Build Their Own Trading Review System?
Many traders remember the few trades that made them a lot of money.
They remember which token doubled, which time they bought at exactly the right moment, and which trade would have earned them more if they had held on a little longer.
But ask them:
Why did you lose money last month? Which mistakes keep recurring? Is your trading method actually effective?
Many people may not be able to give a clear answer.
The problem isn't necessarily a lack of market knowledge. Sometimes, what's really missing is a way to keep consistent reco

The free mint window for @FungoLabs Genesis opens in a few hours and the paid side looks nothing like a regular drop.
Whitelist holders and nominees get the first 500 spots starting at 12:30 UTC.
After that the remaining 2,500 move into a sealed auction that runs a full day.
The auction side works like this:
→ you pick a price and quantity in cZAMA
→ both numbers stay encrypted until the window closes
→ the lowest bid that still fills the supply sets the price
→ every winner pays that same amount and the rest comes back
Each NFT also comes sealed so the holder decides if the art ever goes pu

After eleven years of trading and more than a year of reflection, I have returned to the platform. I have publicly achieved returns of over 10000% in live trading countless times before. Perhaps that was luck, but this time, with the experience and technical skills I’ve built up over the years, along with patience and a steady approach, I’m determined to prove myself again and achieve 10000% in live trading.
Record: November 5, 2026.

$BTC could be preparing for another massive bull run!
Bitcoin's projected 2026–2028 cycle is showing striking similarities to the previous market structure.
A prolonged downtrend, potential breakout, and accumulation phase could be setting the stage for something huge.
The chart suggests Bitcoin may be approaching a critical transition before its next major market phase.
First comes accumulation, then pre-bull momentum, followed by a possible explosive rally.
The previous cycle pushed Bitcoin toward $125K. Could the next cycle deliver an even bigger move?
History doesn't guarantee a repeat, b

What Is the Funding Rate? Why Can Perpetual Contracts Continue to Incur Holding Costs Even When Prices Show No Significant Change?
In crypto 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 for periodic payments between long and short positions in perpetual contracts, designed to keep

⚖️ OFAC has once again extended the freeze on Citgo: the auction is on hold until December 18.
There have now been 28 extensions since the original license. No one gets paid yet, and no one loses yet: a technical stalemate renewed every few weeks, leaving uncertainty as the case’s main asset.
But the most important detail isn’t the extension itself, but a clarification from OFAC: the agency hinted that it could authorize specific licenses allowing holders of PDVSA 2020 bonds to negotiate restructurings or refinancings, even separately from the guarantee tied to Citgo.
It’s the first sign in ye

I’m literally dying laughing. Some genius dad made an app to deal with little troublemakers, keeping kids from getting hooked on TV and games!
When a kid turns on the TV, a question pops up after 10 minutes (with over 4,000 questions for grades 0 through 9). Get it wrong, and they have to answer another question; get it right, and they get another ten minutes~
This not only adds interruptions while kids watch TV, but also helps them learn. Truly, the devil is a foot tall, and the righteous way is a foot tall too (GitHub, address FYI)~

$BTC $ETH As the market has moved so far
there are still some signs of a general downturn
my friend has managed to hold on
At the worst point, the unrealized loss was around 8000
now it’s down to 5000
Let’s see if they can turn a profit later or take only a small loss
that’s better than the current momentum continuing to carry it downward
It should be able to test the one-hour support level
That’s why I told my friend to hold on too

What Is a False Breakout? How Can You Distinguish a Brief Price Break from a Breakout That May Lead to a New Trend?
In crypto trading, many people rush to buy when the price breaks through a key resistance level, and rush to short when it falls below support. But sometimes the price only briefly moves beyond a key level before quickly returning to its original range. This phenomenon is called a false breakout and is one of the risks traders can easily overlook.
First, what is a false breakout?
A false breakout occurs when the price briefly breaks through a support or resistance level but fails

Mining this thing @HashDogeIO is a bit difficult. Only a few dozen have been mined so far; I’ve only mined one.
Like hashcat on Ethereum, the further along it gets, the more expensive it is to mine. Seems .ai hasn’t been mined yet.

In my view, while U.S. policy expectations will be the primary factor influencing Bitcoin’s next major move, leveraged liquidations will play a key role in determining the intensity of that move.
I see three key factors:
1. U.S. policy expectations – The primary driver. Federal Reserve interest rate decisions, inflation data, monetary policy, and regulatory developments can all impact institutional demand, liquidity, and the overall appetite for risk assets. A more favorable policy environment could support a sustainable BTC rally.
2. Leveraged liquidations – A short-term accel
