veo con asombro como este, el que una vez fue un hermoso mercado descentralizado, se va centralizado cada vez mas. si esto no es una manipulación, que lo es entonces?
The mysterious world of the funding rate
In the world of cryptocurrencies, what you don't know is exactly what takes your money.
What is that Funding Rate?
In "Perpetual" futures contracts (like RIVERUSDT), there is no expiration date. To ensure that the contract price does not stray too far from the actual market price of the asset (Spot), the exchange uses this payment system between users.
What you see there (-1.30865%) is a negative funding rate and quite high. Here’s the trick:
If the rate is POSITIVE: Those in "Long" (buyers) pay those in "Short" (sellers).
If the rate is NEGATIVE: Those in "Short" (sellers) have to pay those in "Long" (buyers).
That timer of 00:44:50 indicates that in less than 45 minutes the charge/payment will be made.
If you open a Long (Buy): You would receive that 1.30% of your total position as a reward.
If you open a Short (Sell): You would lose that 1.30% of your total position as a penalty.
Note: A -1.3% every hour is a brutally high figure. Normally rates are 0.01%. This usually happens when there is a "short squeeze" or a lot of people betting that the coin will fall, and the exchange incentivizes people to buy to balance the market.

excellent quality in summary.
"As long as the funding rate is high and negative → DO NOT enter short.
They will liquidate you mercilessly. 🚫💀
Why does this happen? Quick and clear explanation:
When the funding rate is negative → shorts pay longs (every 8 hours normally).
If it is very negative/highly negative (e.g., -0.05%, -0.1% or more), it means there are too many shorts in the market. Everyone is betting downwards, the price of perpetual futures is well below the spot → extreme bearish panic.
In this situation:
Longs (those who are long) receive constant money from shorts.
This encourages more people to go long (because they are paid for holding it).
The price starts to rise gradually (or suddenly) to attract more longs and balance.
When the price rises → highly leveraged shorts get liquidated in cascade → brutal short squeeze.
Each liquidation forces more buying → price rises faster → more liquidations → and thus it sweeps you if you're short.
Brutal summary:
High + negative funding rate = market overloaded with shorts → likely rebound/squeeze → shorts pay funding + get liquidated due to rising prices.
Advice:
Wait for the funding to become less negative (or turn positive) before going short.
First, the weak longs get cleaned out (when funding is high and positive), then the prices really fall.
Patience = survival in futures. 🪑☕
What do you think? Have you seen epic squeezes due to extreme negative funding? 🔥"

I don't know if you noticed, but short selling is becoming more complicated each time. These currencies break you at any mistake (or not).
Be very careful with these coins, the new #pippin and many more that have existed, now is $RIVER leaving one to make the same strategy; to get people to go short and clearly many get caught, super high financing rates, playing with psychology "this coin is super high, so it makes the most sense to go short, and there you get trapped, so the most recommended thing is not to go long either, because they can also bring it down at will, but rather the best we can do is to leave this type of junk coins alone.
yesterday I entered 0.2170 short and won, I didn't close, it turned around, 6 times to my entry point and at 2 am it cleaned me out, from there it started to fall, it went to the underworld...
buy short at 0.88 and look at where the price is currently, do you think this missile will drop?, do you think I have a future of recovering the lost?
In these days I made a post writing about my strategy, I commented that that structure that made me win, at certain stages of the month also made me lose. Since Friday I've been dodging the loss in a way almost like a carom but today it finally caught me. For not wanting to exit with a 50% gain, I ended up losing a 500%.
I failed in my trading, overtraded, didn't rest, and leveraged instead of accepting the loss. Then I re-entered and although I exited with a meager profit, I almost got cleaned out again. This shows that you can have 100 winning trades but seven careless ones, and one sweeps everything away.
Today I learned fully that profit is profit and that due to my psychology, I cannot trade long (daily or monthly) I can only do scalping. Today after almost 48 hs awake, I had my first setback of the year. Great learning, great disappointment, and to start over. I have capital to trade but the blow was very hard. To breathe deeply and to rest now.

was 2000 not enough? I don't know how much capital you have, but that's more than what a professional earns in a job in a month. I suggest a bit of sanity and humility when it comes to trading.
I was $2,000 in profits two hours ago and now I am at a loss of $49.45 in $RIVER , but I stand firm because I believe it can reach $1 USD.
We would have to wait for a break. What doesn't convince me is the financing rate, where it either stays lateralizing or takes longer than necessary, it will gradually take you out.
$GPS is bullish... and that's exactly what makes it dangerous now, folks.
The price is not advancing, it's stalling, and when the market stalls, it's because it's counting who gets desperate first.
But here I leave the data just in case someone trades $GPS
General trend: Bullish
4H trend: Bullish
1H trend: Bullish
5M trend: Lateral
Best trade to take (scalping – window 2 to 3 hours): Wait
Long trade if you want.
Entry:0.00648 – 0.00652 (demand retest + supertrend 5M)
Target(s):
TP1: 0.00670
TP2: 0.00695
TP3: 0.00700 (major liquidity zone)
Stop Loss: 0.00635 (invalidated below 5M structure and loss of demand)
Short trade
Entry:0.00695 – 0.00705 (direct sweep of upper liquidity without acceptance)
Target(s):
TP1: 0.00670
TP2: 0.00650 Stop Loss:
0.00718 (acceptance above maximum and continuation).
Invalidation points so that later no one tells me that I didn't write them down.
Long
Invalidated if it loses and accepts below 0.00635 in 5M.
Reason: demand break + supertrend 5M + broken minor structure.
If that happens, the long ceases to exist. It is not traded.
Short
Invalidated if there is a close and acceptance above 0.00718.
Reason: clean break of the upper liquidity zone, it is no longer a sweep, it is a continuation.

I recount my operations of the day.
But don't be swayed by the shine, I entered all very very badly and the gains came from factors such as:
1- margin so that I don't get wiped out.
2- patience tested by bullets.
3- benevolence of I don't know what design of fate.
4- A brain resistant to frustration since the operations in which I did enter well, I ended up closing out of fear (around here it's said c@g@so...)
I feel like I am under galloping stress, so I might take a few days off from trading.
To the night owls, I wish good results in your operations.

before trading, check the commission cost because it will start to fluctuate in a range and you will end up in the negative, stuck and losing balance. Here, nothing is free.
!!! I LOST more than I gained !!! The commissions made the operation unprofitable, things that happen in trading 😅, leave in the comments if the same happened to you 🚀
this coin was a Russian roulette, it is at the starting price. I'm sure it left corpses and illusions in its wake, but what I'm most sure of is that someone became disgustingly rich.
Do you smell that? It's the fear of those who bought the dip wrong... $BEAT broke the structure and now every little bounce is to load more shorts. The market always punishes the impatient and rewards those of us who know how to read liquidity. 🩸

those of us who are dedicated to this, do not invest in this type of proposals. Of course it can be viable, but what is the success margin? you could also win the lottery, good luck.

Less is always more. Simple.
Operating on a Saturday in crypto is like going to the market when half of the stalls have already been set up: few people, little movement, and those who move, move strangely. Volume decreases, prices become erratic, jump unpredictably, and constantly trigger stops for no reason, not because the market is decided, but because there is no one to counterbalance it.
That doesn't mean Saturday is bad; it's just not a day to be desperate to trade at all costs. With low volume, any order moves the price more than usual, the market remains sideways, and when it breaks, many times it is just a false move, in and out like a scared chicken. For scalping and futures, if there is no discipline, the market leaves one watching a firecracker.
That's why Saturday is perfect, but for studying, not for betting. It's a day for coffee, open charts, reviewing past mistakes, adjusting the plan, and understanding how the price behaves when there is low volume. While others look for the miraculous trade, the one who truly learns stays still. In trading, the one who knows when to do nothing also wins.
The magic of Saturday is $MERL although it sounds like Merlin, Saturday works its magic for resting, spending time with family, stepping away from the screens, and that's it.

Let's see if beautiful people agree with me.
Most of us operate with certain premises, that is, a pattern that has several steps that, if fulfilled in a certain way, we either enter the market or not. So far, so good.
The key to the issue is that this same strategy that makes me win, at certain parts of the month, also makes me lose money.
In other words, let's suppose that the aforementioned strategy that makes me win until the 13th or 14th of each month, after the 15th or 16th makes me lose.
I drew several conclusions:
1- the market changes trend.
2- micromovements that I do not take into account.
3- movements of large altcoins that sweep away the others.
etc etc
But I lean more towards:
4- you are winning and that gives you excess confidence.
5- you increase your position and that throws you off balance.
6- overtrading, greed, FOMO, exhaustion, cognitive biases.
7- you do not respect trading rules and enter just to enter.
8- you see the trades of others.
The first 3 are characteristic of the market, the remaining 5 are characteristic of human psychology.
I am trying to unravel the mystery of whether, when trading, the market or psychology weighs more, which sees things where there are none, what do you all think?

Ethereum at a "bargain" price: Are we witnessing the largest display of wealth in 2026? 💸🐲
Imagine you go to the store and they tell you there's no merchandise left because some giant investors took all the inventory of the week in one single move. 💸 That's exactly what's happening to Ethereum right now: institutions are sweeping up the available ETH through the ETFs, and when demand devours supply, we already know where the price is headed. 🚀
Look, I'll explain it clearly so you don't miss a single detail of this situation. This week, Ethereum ETFs in the U.S. received an injection of nearly $475 million in just four days. Wednesday was total madness, with over $175 million coming in at once, the highest figure so far in 2026. 🏦 Basically, Wall Street is buying Ethereum as if there were no tomorrow, taking an average of nearly 7,000 ETH daily.
