January's performance of $RIVER was indeed quite fierce. The FDV is almost 400 million dollars, yet the funding rate remains in the negative zone at -1.7%, with short sellers paying funding fees every hour.

Looking back at the 30-day performance, the increase is nearly 10 times, a pace that is indeed rare in the current market. The craziest part is that yesterday alone, over 6 million USD in short positions were liquidated within 24 hours, making it almost impossible for those trying to bottom fish or bet against the market to survive.

Such an extreme negative funding rate indicates that the bulls are still fierce, and market sentiment remains highly heated. These extreme data points often signal an impending reversal—of course, they could also just be routine moves of a volatile coin.

Yao Coin is just Yao Coin, and a -1.7% fee rate is really impressive. Are the bears working for the bulls?

Honestly, such high fees are a bit risky. Bulls are so crazy that they'll eventually crash.

The bears are about to die again. With funding fees this high, who would dare to open a short? It's the same story again—extreme rates = a sign of reversal. Every time it's said, but the altcoins keep soaring. A 10x increase... the profit effect is fully unleashed. I'm still on the sidelines watching. Negative funding rates have been this intense, it feels like the bulls are getting carried away. A drop is inevitable.

The short position exploded to this extent, the bulls are really unstoppable. --- -1.7% is still negative, shorting must be really painful haha. --- With a 10x increase, ordinary coins can only watch on their knees. --- Such strong meme coin attributes, is it a sign of a reversal or just a dump? Bet on it. --- Negative fee rates are so outrageous, it feels like something is about to go wrong. --- 6 million shorts exploded, yesterday's shorting was a social death scene.
