$Niu Lai has fallen 29.5% over the past 24 hours. Buy the dip, or keep shorting? Let’s look at the historical data first.

I analyzed Binance USDT perpetual contract daily candles since 2022 (920 contracts, including traditional finance contracts and 164 delisted contracts): there have been 1,483 instances of a single-day drop of ≥25%. Measured from the next day’s open:
- After 1 day: median −1.0%; 45% were up
- After 3 days: median +3.3%; 55% were up
- After 7 days: median −2.1%; 44% were up
- 7-day return distribution: 10th percentile −39.8%; 90th percentile +33.3%

In other words, in the historical sample, about 44% were up after 7 days, but 17% were more than 30% below the next day’s open after 7 days. Historical distributions cannot prove that either direction has an edge in the current market.

Now let’s look at the cost of holding a position: $Niu Lai’s current funding rate is −0.0148% / 4 hours (shorts pay longs). If the rate and settlement interval stay unchanged, the estimated funding cost for holding a nominal short position for one day is about 0.09%.

A few notes: many coins often surge or plunge together on the same day, so these events are not independent; the statistics exclude trading fees and funding fees; returns are calculated from daily close to daily close, which differs slightly from the rolling 24-hour return measure; past performance does not predict future results.

When a coin crashes like this, what do you usually do: stay away, buy the dip in batches, or short in the direction of the trend?
