What Is the Long-Short Ratio? Why Can Prices Still Rise Even When Shorts Seem to Have the Upper Hand?

In cryptocurrency markets, many traders pay attention to the long-short ratio. When data shows a higher proportion of shorts, some believe prices should continue to fall; when the proportion of longs is higher, others believe an uptrend is more likely to continue.

But markets do not determine prices simply by voting on headcount. The long-short ratio reflects the distribution of positions or accounts under a specific methodology, rather than directly predicting future prices.

Backtest Annualized Returns of 30%—Why Could Live Performance Be So Different?

A trading strategy delivers annualized returns of 30% in backtests, with a decent win rate and a maximum drawdown within an acceptable range.

At first glance, this seems like a strategy worth using.

But when you actually start trading, you find that returns are far below expectations—or you even incur losses.

What went wrong?

Often, the problem isn't that backtesting has no value. It's that we mistake the ideal conditions in a model for guaranteed outcomes in real markets.

Backtesting evaluates how a set of ru

What is loss aversion? Why does the pain of losses often lead traders to make decisions that go against their long-term interests?
In cryptocurrency trading, gains and losses of the same amount often feel psychologically unequal. Making 100 USDT may feel good, but losing 100 USDT can sometimes feel even worse. This psychological phenomenon is known as loss aversion, and it can affect traders’ positions, stop-losses, and risk assessments.
First, what is loss aversion?
Loss aversion means that people are generally more sensitive to losses and find it harder to give up wealth they already have th

What Are Long Liquidations? Why Can Prices Fall in a Cascade?

In crypto markets, prices sometimes initially pull back slightly, then suddenly fall faster. Besides selling pressure in the spot market, one possible cause is long liquidations.

Understanding the liquidation mechanism helps traders recognize leverage risks and analyze why some market moves become unusually volatile in a short time.

First, what are long liquidations?

Long traders buy assets or open bullish contract positions, expecting prices to rise. When using leverage, their account equity may quickly decline if prices move a

$XRP has experienced one of the larger liquidation events in this batch, with approximately $23.9K in long positions liquidated around $1.1621. This highlights aggressive downside pressure on leveraged buyers and puts the nearby demand zone in focus. The market now needs to reclaim lost structure before buyers can establish stronger control.
Support: $1.1500 – $1.1620
Resistance: $1.1800 – $1.2000
Next Target: $1.2200 – $1.2400
If buyers defend support and reclaim $1.20, a recovery toward the next liquidity zone becomes possible. A decisive breakdown below support would increase bearish risk.

What Is a Funding Rate? Why Can Holding a Perpetual Contract Continue to Incur Extra Costs?

In the cryptocurrency market, some traders get the direction right but find that their final returns are lower than expected. Besides fees and slippage, there is another easily overlooked factor: the funding rate.

The funding rate is a mechanism in perpetual futures markets that helps keep contract prices linked to spot market prices. It can affect holding costs and whether traders are willing to hold a position in a particular direction for a long time.

First, what exactly is a funding rate?

$BTC So far, price is holding support as expected.

I’ve been waiting for $75k for the last couple of weeks.

Price continues to look bearish on the short term due to forming a lower high and sweeping the previous low of $76k.

I’m looking for a small manipulation rally up to $78k and the 0.5 fib level before a continuation to the downside.

If we do break $75k and form a daily candle close below it, we could see a much larger retracement as support is very thin until $63k.

$XRP Being Oversold Is Not the Same as Bottoming

$XRP is currently priced at 1.1594, down 3.7762469914515817% over 24 hours, with an intraday high of 1.2078 and low of 1.1518. The 1-hour and 4-hour trends are both weak, and selling pressure does not automatically end just because the decline has widened. The volume ratio is 0.03333265449319189, indicating low market participation. With so little capital involved, the price can more easily stage a technical rebound, but that does not mean the market structure has reversed. Oversold describes a condition; a bottom is a confirmed outcome, and th

Where Is the Authority to Pause Trading Hidden? Finding Clues in Contract Structure

In the Web3 world, many people focus on token prices, holder counts, and whether a contract has passed an audit, but overlook a question that directly affects how assets can be used:

What can an address do if it has the authority to pause trading, freeze accounts, or restrict transfers?

Some tokens do include these mechanisms. They may be used to respond to security incidents, restrict malicious addresses, or meet specific business requirements, but they can also pose risks such as excessive concentration of

What Makes a Stock Worth Talking About?

A stock does not become interesting simply because its price is rising. Sometimes, a company with a falling share price has stronger long-term potential than one making new highs. The real question is whether its business, financial performance, future plans, and market position support its current valuation.

Let time tell. Just my personal view: my position is fully loaded, and I only use take-profit and stop-loss orders. If the risk-reward ratio is good enough, I’ll take this opportunity, with strict trading discipline. Started with 100u; after 6 days, I’m currently at 18000u, up 180x. I withdrew 6000, and there’s now $12,000 left in the account. I’ve started live trading. After a year of trading, I’ve just gone from losses to starting to turn a profit; my trading journey is only just beginning

U.S. stocks sold off sharply on Thursday, November 5 (UTC). The Nasdaq closed down around 5.5%, entering correction territory, while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index plunged roughly 12%, with chip stocks including $NVDA and $AMD posting steep losses. Beyond profit-taking, investors are growing concerned about the pace of AI data center construction, capital spending, and future returns on investment. The key question now is whether the AI sector’s lofty growth expectations need to be repriced. Where do you think the next opportunities will emerge: chip stocks, tech giants, or other sectors?
