$HOOD Current price about 113.1, Gate perpetual 24h about -5.1%. Daily high 123.4, daily low 112.13, amplitude about 10.1%. Notional volume about 4.09M U, funding rate about 0 (long/short nearly neutral). Compared with the broader market: BTC about 83418 (almost flat), ETH about 2685 (+0.6%). The main axis didn’t give panic—yet it still got smashed from 123.4 all the way down to stick near the daily low. Only about 0.9% left from the bottom.

Don’t tell me some “broker token is the bottom-fishing miracle.” In a weak-trend market, this trade is exactly the kind of turnover that’s sharp enough to fall into a pit: four million U is enough to hammer it down. The funding rate not skewed bearish (not favoring shorts) means it’s not a squeeze/forced liquidation wave—it looks more like high-level positions getting cleared, smashed down to the floor. Trying to pick again at 112.13 is basically paying a salary to the next bag-holder.

Trading takeaway: Don’t bottom-fish at the current price near 113 and the nearby daily-low area. If you want to go short, wait for a rebound to 115–117 and try with a small position when it meets resistance. If it breaks below 112.13, this leg of the drop will accelerate—don’t bottom-fish, just follow the selling. Above, 123.4 is strong intraday resistance; without volume to reclaim it, we won’t talk about a reversal. Bias is bearish. Use 3–5x leverage, and keep position size at no more than 5% of your principal. Call me out if you must.
