ACH this wave of market movement is indeed fierce—rising for two consecutive weeks with an 80% increase, but yesterday it suddenly plunged 11% at the top, and today it continues to weaken, with little sign of a rebound.

What's even more interesting is the funding rate. Currently, the rate remains persistently negative. What does this mean? Usually, when the funding rate is negative, retail traders going long are being squeezed, while institutions are quietly building short positions at low prices. In other words, big players are not taking the opportunity to go long during the pullback to support the market; instead, they maintain a bearish outlook.

From a technical perspective, the momentum of the upward channel has clearly weakened. The rapid rise over the past two weeks has used up quite a few bullets for the bulls, but the current momentum has shifted. This kind of market trend typically goes through several stages—first, exhaustion of upward momentum; then capital outflow; and finally, accelerated decline. Right now, it seems to be at the junction of the first and second stages.

Traders should pay close attention to changes in the funding rate and trading volume, as these two indicators often reflect the market's true intentions in advance.

Oh no, this wave of ACH is really a weed-cutting event Institutions have been lurking for a long time, and we're still chasing the highs Negative fee rates are not a good sign; the later you run, the worse it gets

Another one completely wiped out by institutions. Negative fees are a signal, and retail investors are still holding the bag.

Oh no, it's the familiar trap again Once again, negative fee rates, retail investors are trapped and exhausted It's really painful to see a weekly 80% rise followed by a sharp drop. My long positions that I bet on have made me cry and faint Institutions are laying in wait with short positions at low levels, while we retail investors are still dreaming This momentum has indeed weakened; we need to keep an eye on the funding rates History always repeats itself, one wave after another Contract trading beginners should avoid it, just wait and see

*checks notes* ah yes, the classic 80% pump followed by institutional short setup... statistically speaking, this is exactly how the 2017 altcoin season started before everything got liquidated lmao those who didn't study ACH's previous charts are doomed to watch it repeat

80% increase followed by an 11% plunge, this rhythm feels a bit familiar, it's the same story of retail investors getting squeezed Institutions are playing the negative fee rate game really well. While we're still struggling with the rebound, they've already ambushed the bears The question is, who can truly understand the funding rate? Most of the time, it's only clear after the fact

Another wave of the typical pump-and-dump scheme, I've seen it all before. Institutions are shorting secretly, negative fees, retail investors are still in a daze. Thinking of selling after an 80% rise? Now I understand the manipulation tactics. Negative fee rates really don't lie; this is how they keep harvesting profits every time. A two-week surge—can you believe it? The truth is, it hits you right in the face. Funds have already fled, so what are you waiting for—another rebound? This scheme is exactly the same as last time, lesson learned. Just look at the fee rate to see who's controlling the game; retail investors are always the last to know. Broke the support level, brother. Won't anyone come in to defend the market?
