#比特币与黄金战争 ZKP shorts are still adding positions?

Recently, the funding rate dropped to negative 1.4, which is quite outrageous—fees are charged every hour. The main players are definitely playing the sideways market to harvest profits; a quick drop is basically unlikely.

Why is it not recommended to take short positions? Two reasons need to be understood. First, the negative rate continues to drain funds; second, large funds have already hidden a significant amount of short positions at low levels. This is a classic bull trap—concentrate the shorts in one place, then push the price up and break out.

I've seen this pattern many times in history. The price generally moves sideways, shorts increase, the funding rate becomes more and more absurd, then suddenly, at a certain moment, it surges, and blood flows in the short positions.

Instead of gambling on a move, it's better to wait for a confirmed opportunity. Sometimes, the most cautious decision in the market is also the smartest.

Negative fee rate tricks are something I've seen too many times. The bears still dare to add positions now, truly brave. It's the same routine again: sideways consolidation to wear people out, then a sudden surge. Retail investors should just be patient and wait for the opportunity. Fee rate draining occurs every hour; the main players really don't mind the hassle. At this pace, the bloodshed among bears is inevitable. Rather than chasing short positions and getting cut, it's better to watch the show from the sidelines. When the market is most timid, that's actually the safest time. In simple terms, big funds are fishing; the more shorts there are, the easier it is to scoop up the profits.

It's the same old trick again. The bears really need to wake up—adding to their positions with such outrageous fees?

The negative fee scheme is old news. Short sellers are still stubbornly holding on. Just wait to be harvested.

-1.4 fee rate is so outrageous, shorts are just stabbing themselves on the knife Using the same trick again? Last time was the same approach, and it resulted in a bloodbath for many people Waiting for a confirmed opportunity is the right way to make money, don't gamble blindly This main force strategy is too familiar, sideways accumulation to suck blood, then a quick surge and it's over The fee rate keeps rising, shorts really deserve to be cut It seems I need to keep accumulating coins and wait for a rebound, not getting involved in this muddy water The main force is just playing this trick, watching the increasing number of shorts makes me want to laugh

The -1.4 fee rate is indeed outrageous, but this time it feels different... Are there really that many shorts?
