Second Lecture on Anti-Cutting Day: "Practical Strategies for Long and Short Positions in Perpetual Contracts: Judging Funding Rates and Trading Strategies" Funding rate refers to the fees that both long and short sides periodically pay in a contract, aimed at balancing the contract and spot prices. 1. Positive funding rate: Longs pay shorts, indicating strong bullish sentiment in the market (contract price > spot price) 2. Negative funding rate: Shorts pay longs, indicating strong bearish sentiment in the market (contract price < spot price)
Therefore, opening a position in the opposite direction can earn funding fees (fee = rate × position size), settled every 8 hours (at 8 AM, 4 PM, and 12 AM); non-arbitrage positions can be closed before settlement to avoid payment.
How to judge whether to short or go long based on funding rates? 1. Conditions for shorting: ✅ High positive rate (e.g., >0.1%) + Overbought/resistance level + Decreasing position size ⚠️ Note: Avoid going against a strong upward trend; this must be combined with pullback signals. 2. Conditions for going long: ✅ Deep negative rate (e.g., < -0.1%) + Oversold/support level + Rising position size ⚠️ Note: Avoid blindly bottom-fishing during a sharp drop; wait for stabilization signals.
3. Key auxiliary indicators Trend priority: High positive rates in an upward trend may only pull back, while deep negative rates in a downward trend may only rebound. Position size: Extreme rates can lead to sudden changes in position size, indicating a reversal. Spot basis: Verify whether the rate reflects the true premium. 4. Arbitrage opportunities: Positive rate → Short contract + Hold spot; Negative rate → Long contract + Hold short. 5. Risk warning: Short-term rate noise needs to be filtered, and do not go against extreme market conditions. Must be combined with technical analysis (e.g., RSI, support and resistance) and market sentiment indicators. $ETH --- In general, rates reflect sentiment, trends determine direction, indicators verify signals, and caution is needed against the trend.

The market has failed to break through the downtrend line for many days; where is the bull market? It is probably only a figment of the imagination. Since Trump took office, the market has entered a bear market; the various favorable policies introduced earlier have already lost their effectiveness. The market is currently in a 'garbage time', and for investors, the best response strategy is to focus on learning various trading knowledge. At the same time, persist in watching and reviewing the market, and conduct in-depth analysis of market trends to prepare for the next market opportunity. Also, pay attention to market fluctuations; we can seek suitable opportunities even in garbage time. #美国加征关税 $BTC

How to test and determine if the consolidation area is for accumulation rather than distribution?
Observe whether it is the ultimate consolidation Ultimate consolidation manifestation: 1) Price quickly breaks below all support, forcing retail investors to sell off (panic liquidation) 2) Creates the illusion of a continuous decline, making retail investors afraid to buy. 3) The rebound magnitude is small. 4) Second test, supply is quickly absorbed. After the ultimate consolidation, there will be a consolidation test again; if the same position is reached again and supply is quickly absorbed, then the ultimate consolidation point and the second test point are the lowest risk buying points.
According to the current BTC 4-hour candlestick chart, it should now be in the ultimate consolidation stage. After a slight rebound ends, the second consolidation test can absorb all supply, which would be a good time to buy the dip.
How to test whether the shakeout area is accumulation rather than distribution? Observe if it is the ultimate shakeout Ultimate shakeout manifestations: 1) Price quickly breaks through all support levels, forcing retail investors to sell (panic liquidation) 2) Creates an illusion of continuous decline, making retail investors afraid to buy. 3) Small rebound magnitude. 4) Secondary test, supply is quickly absorbed. After the ultimate shakeout, there will be shakeout tests again. If, upon returning to the same position, the supply is quickly absorbed. The ultimate shakeout and the secondary test point are the lowest risk buying points.
According to the current BTC 4-hour candlestick chart, we should now be in the ultimate shakeout phase. After a slight rebound ends, when the secondary shakeout test can absorb all supply, it should be a good time to buy at the bottom.
Entry conditions: Gradual accumulation plan First entry: Above 1.5% of the secondary test low (to prevent false breakout) Add position: Break through the descending trend line (connecting the last 3 peak waves) Ultimate position: The TD sequence shows "13" count and MACD histogram turns positive.
Everything is paused ⏸️, starting revisions "The fourth 'revision copy' of my research career has begun, and the supervisor waved their hand: 'If it doesn't work this time, we will leave gracefully!' The questions from the reviewing teachers seem to be playing 'random lottery', with each question being different, and the level of expertise is both amusing and frustrating. The modification notes have already reached page 9; it feels like I'm not revising a thesis, but writing 'The Hundred Thousand Whys of Reviewing Teachers' Questions' + 'How to Elegantly Retort'. Research is not easy, let's cherish and take care of it, but this time it really feels a bit 'impossible to revise'!" #BTC☀️
The post from the day before yesterday said that SOL should be 175, and the lowest SOL was 174.63, which was achieved perfectly. The post from yesterday said that SOL should be around 158, and BNB should be around 628. Last night, the lowest SOL was 160.88, and the lowest BNB was 629.65. You can follow me. 😂 I am still somewhat accurate. #加密货币普及 $SOL $BNB
"Technical analysis of the cryptocurrency market: BTC and ETH fluctuate and consolidate, BNB and SOL are under downward pressure, and key support levels become the focus"
1. BTC and ETH: At present, BTC and ETH are still running in the box oscillation range, and the price fluctuates between the key support and resistance levels, and no obvious trend breakthrough has been formed. It is recommended to adopt a high-selling and low-buying strategy within the range, that is, reduce positions or short when approaching the resistance level, and buy on dips or go long when approaching the support level. ETH rose against the trend yesterday, but the overall market is still dominated by BTC, and the trends of other mainstream currencies (Altcoins) mostly follow the fluctuations of BTC. ETH's independent trend may be the result of short-term capital rotation or market sentiment, and we need to be vigilant about its sustainability.
BTC weekly death cross warning, hedging strategy in volatile market
$BTC In the past 10 days, it has been fluctuating in the box oscillation zone. Recently, I have basically been doing short-term operations, and I can't see the pattern. I sell high and buy low in the range. It is also important to note that the MACD of the Bitcoin weekly chart is near the death cross.There is a counter-trend rally. This is very much like a bearish signal, and friends with heavy positions need to pay attention to the risks.
I can't help but feel that it's indeed very difficult for people to earn money beyond their understanding. Previously, I discussed topics related to Bitcoin and blockchain with classmates, and the responses were like those of 'self-proclaimed experts'; they believed they knew everything about it and were convinced that I was trapped in a scam and stubbornly refusing to see the truth, yet they were completely unaware of their own limitations. We are already in graduate school, and we should have a more open mindset, yet when faced with areas they don't understand, they display such narrow-mindedness, unwilling even to attempt to deepen their understanding. At that moment, they were completely 'out' of my world, and I completely lost interest in continuing to communicate and discuss with them. $BNB #CZ的“西兰花”梗
