This round of $RIVER's market really is incredible. I sold when it dropped from $6 to $2, only to see it turn around and rise to over $30—that feeling was so heartbreaking. Now looking at the funding rates, they are ridiculously high, which scared me so much that I don't dare to touch it again.

With such a crazy market, there must be big funds manipulating behind the scenes. Retail investors in this kind of market are like headless flies—chasing high and getting trapped, panicking and cutting losses at low points. The exaggerated funding rates indicate that bullish sentiment has already peaked, and there are probably quite a few leveraged liquidations happening.

Instead of blindly operating, it's better to calmly observe the market rhythm. Watch how the whales play next, and consider entering only when the risk has been mostly released. Greed is a big taboo; staying alive and exiting safely is more important than anything else.

Oh, don't say it. I didn't dare to buy the dip when it was at 2 dollars, and now that it's risen to over 30, I really want to smash the screen. The funding rate is so outrageous. How can the bulls still dare to leverage up? Isn't this suicide? Just want to ask if anyone is chasing at high levels. Can they still break free now? Rather than being cut by the market, it's better to honestly observe. Anyway, there are plenty of opportunities in the crypto world. The phrase "stay alive and exit" is so true. Otherwise, you'll just be the next cannon fodder for liquidation.

Bro, you can't say you lost unfairly this time. I've seen many cases where people cut losses from $2 to $30. It's always the most timid ones who end up making the most... With such high fees, you really have to avoid it. The liquidation wave is coming soon.

That moment of cutting losses at 2 units definitely made my intestines regret turning green, haha. Damn, the fee rate is so outrageous, I really should run. Rather than chasing the high, it's better to patiently wait for a bottom signal.

Cut from 6 to 2 is really awesome. After the dip, it rose to over 30, and I don't want to mention it anymore... This is the fate of retail investors, I guess. With such high fees now, it's just not playable. I'll wait until the liquidation wave passes.
