How to trade contracts short-term today—let’s talk about the framework
In the futures/contract market, I only look at congestion (crowdedness); I don’t look at chat messages.
Position size first depends on congestion, then on price.
BTC nominal position 8.25 billion USD, 24h -0.76%
Total account long/short ratio 1.22
BTC 84773 (+0.37%), ETH 2687 (+0.93%).
Large holders’ long/short ratio is 1.85, while the whole account is only 1.22. Large holders are more bullish than retail traders. You can follow them, but you can’t see their stop-losses—don’t follow with full size.
Key levels: up 85,451, down 83,247. One-way movement should not exceed 2x of account equity. Put stop-losses outside the structure; don’t place them at “psychological round-number” entry prices.
If the funding/fees rate rises from near zero to above 0.01%, longs are likely抢跑 (running ahead). I wait for a pullback—I don’t chase the first breakout.
Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USD-m contracts / Yahoo daily (5-day up/down). Missing numbers aren’t filled in.
At the pullback level, will you place orders, or wait for the candle close?
