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. 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 offer clues about market sentiment.

#xag #Gümüş formed a wedge while falling. Buying in response came in at the wedge’s lower edge. If the rise continues and it closes above 59, the wedge’s upper edge will have been broken, potentially opening the way to test higher resistance levels.
As long as the 48.5 low holds, the wedge setup remains in play.
Since it also broke through the 51 resistance we were watching yesterday, it could rise toward the 54-55 resistance.
If it does not close above the 54-55 zone, the decline could resume, confirming that the rise was a reaction to the decline.
If it closes above the 54-55 zone during th

#民主党赢得美国两院 #美股财报季
The possibility of Democrats winning control of both chambers of the US Congress is an important political development that could influence the direction of American financial markets, economic policies, and investor expectations. Congressional control matters because decisions made in Washington can affect government spending, corporate taxation, business regulations, infrastructure investment, and the overall economic environment. Investors are therefore paying close attention to how a potential political shift could influence the next stage of the US economy.

BREAKING: MASSIVE RALLY IN INDIAN MARKET.
#Sensex is 1600 point up, above up 2.15% and Nifty is up 1.97%.
Reasons:
1. Oil crashed hard. WTI fell from above $100 to below $90. India imports most of its oil, so lower prices ease inflation and support the rupee.
2. US midterms. Democrats won both chambers. Markets are pricing in less risk of sudden tariff hikes and trade shocks.
3. FIIs are turning buyers again after months of selling. Falling oil and hopes of possible tax relief on capital gains are helping sentiment.
4. Strong earnings and festive demand are adding to the upside.

U.S. Vice President Vance reportedly wants to form a “new right” coalition with voters disappointed in Trump before 2028. He holds differing views from Trump on issues including foreign policy and U.S.-Israel relations, while the White House is also seeking to maintain a unified message after the midterm elections. The four tasks—ending wars, bringing down the cost of living, putting America first, and reshaping relations with Israel—are seen as signals aimed at mobilizing the new right, intended to show Republicans who support Trump but disagree with his foreign policy that “Vance is one of t
