LAB This round of trading is really intense in terms of tempo.
First, they keep a high funding rate, letting the shorts keep paying “tolls”; then suddenly they surge upward, directly liquidating short positions in bulk, forcing the short side to cover all the way.
If afterward there’s another quick drop that washes out the chased-long side as well, then in this cycle both bulls and bears basically have to pay tuition.
When you look back, the shorts lose because of the squeeze, while the longs lose because they chase the rally. In the end, the ones who really make money are usually the players who can control the pace.
This kind of market is especially taboo for emotion-driven chasing orders. What the operator makes isn’t money from direction—it’s from human FOMO and panic.
