The most unusual detail in today’s market action is not the gain itself, but that $CFX
’s funding rate is -0.0473%. Despite a 31.40% 24h surge and the price holding around 0.06968 at the upper Bollinger Band, the funding rate is negative—meaning shorts in perpetual contracts are still paying longs, and short-selling pressure has not capitulated but is instead adding to positions against the trend. This combination of “price up, funding rate negative” usually appears in the middle of a trend rather than at the end.
To assess whether the trend is healthy using moving averages, focus on two point

The most common mistake when chasing pumps and dumping into declines is treating “having risen a lot” as “being able to rise further.” $STRK is up 54.77% in 24 hours, with the current price of 0.1101 already close to the Bollinger upper band at 0.118672, while the lower band is only 0.0917546. The band width has been stretched to an extreme, and the amplitude across 30 K-lines is approximately 49.85%—this is not the pattern of a trend beginning, but of sentiment being overextended.
The moving-average structure remains bullish: MA5=0.109386 is above MA20=0.105214, and the price is above the sh

$SKY Down -21.19% over the week, leading the entire market, but only -0.7% today, with the current price at 0.07704. Bearish news failed to push it to a new low, so I’m bullish at this level.

Gm to whoever responds

Trump is at it again, saying that leaders from various countries call to thank him, and he replies, “When are you paying?” It sounds like a joke, but it’s all business. When the US makes a move in the Middle East, the bill will eventually be passed on to its allies. Oil prices and shipping costs move first, and everyone knows who’s paying. If you think I’m talking nonsense, take a screenshot and save it.

Bottom Stabilization and Accumulation of Momentum, Gold Expected to Trade Volatile with an Upward Bias Next Week
From the daily chart perspective, gold prices stabilized and rebounded after bottoming out. The current price has recovered to move above the short-term moving averages, while support from the lower Bollinger Band has held effectively, with a bottoming pattern gradually taking shape. The RSI indicator has turned upward from a low level, bullish momentum continues to recover, and the oversold rebound has already begun.
Next week will bring several key economic data releases. If the d

No wonder people say everyone who trades crypto is a gambler.🤣

My view on Gold
Based on Weekly and Daily Bias - Gold can start pushing up from these levels and I will be waiting for the right areas to long.
Bullish: Debt concerns support gold, since it’s seen as the antithesis of fiat currencies and government assets. Falling yields and a softer dollar also help.
Bearish: Hawkish Fed talk, such as St. Louis Fed President Musalem saying rates will need to rise again, plus a stronger dollar and higher yields.
Geopolitics: Hormuz tensions were reported to be raising Fed hike bets, which is bearish for gold in this setup despite its safe-haven status.

This article is dedicated to those of you who are also researching quantitative trading. Reposted from Squirrel's. To summarize the main point: good strategies all follow the logic of Occam's razor, while overly complex strategies inherently carry the risk of overfitting. Backtest samples need to include multiple market periods for in-sample and out-of-sample testing, rather than repeatedly running over one fixed period. Also, we keep reinventing the wheel, continuously adding to a concise model, even though these additions extend the time horizon without improving performance.
Finally, quanti
