Perpetual contracts are a pioneering derivative product in the crypto space with a long history, and funding rates are a key element of them. Currently, the funding rate indicator is rarely discussed, but its effectiveness remains relatively solid when viewed over historical cycles.
At present, based on daily-level funding rate statistics, the number of days with "negative bias" has been quite long—long enough to indicate that $BTC is already in a reversal zone.
We can see that during the last bear market, the FTX incident pushed the funding rate down to -0.1%, after which the market entered a low-volatility state; similarly, with the current Strategy credit crisis, the funding rate has remained negative for an extended period, and the market has also entered a low-volatility state.
Contract open interest and options open interest are also approaching new lows. There might be one last drop, but there is no longer momentum to drive a "major crash." Let's see if this simple funding rate indicator still holds true this time.

$SPCX zoomed in to the 15-minute level, the short position transaction price looks relatively advantageous. The first take-profit target I personally look at is around $130, planning to close part of the position then and move the stop loss to the entry price.
Next time the market starts to unlock panic on new stocks, close all positions.

$SPCX has entered a resistance zone, and my personal short position has been executed.
SpaceX's “General” Electric Fish Brother put forward a very reasonable view, suggesting that from the perspective of the short-selling main force, it is very likely they will start building positions after the price breaks through $150. I believe the reason is that above $150 there will be a large amount of liquidity, short stops, long chasing, and volume turnover.
It depends on today and tomorrow; if it firmly holds above $155, the shorts will have to consider retreating first.

Many people think that the recent sale of $BTC by the Trump family is bearish, but one possibility is that they are reducing their holdings to comply with the Ethics clause, which is a prerequisite for the Clarity Act to pass.
Everyone knows that we are currently in the bottom range of the BTC bear market, and the Trump family naturally knows this too. Selling at this time might be a kind of "sacrifice."
If the Clarity Act unexpectedly passes, it could trigger an epic bull market rush.

People are always waiting for a lower price, waiting for the final drop liquidation, waiting at 60K for 57K, waiting at 57K for 54K, but never pulling the final trigger.
Just like Chen Yongren said, we are always thinking about what tomorrow will be like, but never consider if there will be a tomorrow.

Sell Covered Call, there are 4 possibilities by September 25:
1. BTC drops, losing money but earning 47.71 BTC, a small joy
2. BTC stays flat, earning 47.71 BTC, a medium joy
3. BTC rises slightly, making money and also earning 47.71 BTC, a big joy
4. BTC rises sharply, making money and also earning 47.71 BTC, but missing out on gains above 70,000, a medium joy
This is a joyful strategy, Sell Covered Call, an options covered call strategy.
Sold 2,709 BTC call options, betting that $BTC won't break 70k USD before 09.25 🤨
A trader has cumulatively sold BTC call options worth 173 million USD, believing that BTC won't experience a surge over 9.5% within 52 days. If BTC doesn't break through by expiration, this 3.03 million USD premium can be pocketed safely.
Looks like there's no expectation for a short-term surge haha
