How to trade short-term futures today? Let’s talk about the framework.

For futures, I only look at crowding, not group chat messages.

Check crowding first when sizing a position, then look at the price.

BTC open interest, notional: $7.38 billion, 24h -0.19%
Account-wide long/short ratio: 2.78
BTC 74115 (+1.16%), ETH 2077 (+2.38%).

Funding rate at 0.0066%, near zero; long/short ratio at 2.78—leverage hasn’t picked a side. If it hasn’t picked a side, don’t use high leverage to pick one for it.

Key levels: upside 74,708, downside 72,781. Keep one-way exposure below 2x account equity. Place stop-losses beyond the structure, not at round-number levels that just feel right.

If the funding rate rises from near zero to above 0.01%, longs are rushing in. I’ll wait for a pullback, not the first breakout.

When meme coins aren’t outperforming BTC, are you still holding them?

Useful insight: the dot plot shows each official’s individual projection, not the decision at the next meeting.
Idea: if the strongest meme coin hasn’t outperformed BTC by 2%, treat it as volatility, not a sector.
