RIVER's unlock scale this time is indeed significant. According to information, the Advisors will soon unlock 3 million tokens, accounting for 15.3% of the current circulating supply. This size is enough to attract market attention.

Interestingly, the token price experienced a noticeable surge on the eve of the unlock. Many speculate that there are manipulative traces by large traders, first pushing the price up to attract follow-up traders, then dumping under the pressure of the unlock—an old but effective tactic.

From the perspective of funding rates, they have remained in the negative range of -0.2% to -0.8% in recent days, indicating that short positions are bleeding continuously. Traders who opened shorts at high levels should have suffered quite a bit. In this environment, those who dare to hold onto their short positions truly need strong psychological resilience.

My personal stance is to continue observing. On one side, there is the pressure from a significant increase in supply, and on the other, the strange movement of funding rates. This situation is too complex. Let’s wait until the waters calm down.

3 million coins are being dumped, this wave definitely requires caution, but it seems like the whales are playing with fire. --- Negative fee rates are still draining the shorts, these guys are really tough. --- Wait, why pull another wave before unlocking? Isn't that digging a hole for yourself? --- I'm also a wait-and-see person; this rhythm is too strange. Let's wait for clarity. --- 15.3% of the circulating supply—just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. Who dares to take this position? --- With the fee rate staying negative for so long, the shorts must be crying their eyes out haha. --- Boosting and dumping—this trick is truly timeless, but some still fall for it. --- This unlock looks complicated; it feels like something's going to go wrong.

I'm telling you, this routine is played out. I've seen the act of first pulling and then smashing at least a hundred times. Those who dare to short are truly hardcore warriors. Despite such fierce negative fees, they still hold on stubbornly. Respect. The 15.3% unlocking pressure is really unbearable. I'm just watching and waiting.

3 million tokens unlocked and directly dumped, this round the market maker just wants to harvest some new retail investors. However, during this period of negative fees, the bears have indeed been miserable. It's quite interesting.

15.3% of the circulating supply unlocked, this data is indeed quite intense. However, the rate inversion has lasted so long, indicating that the bulls are holding on stubbornly, and this is the interesting point. --- Typical retail mentality: chasing after a rally without realizing that the distribution of chips has long been revealed. --- Can the negative funding rate still support short positions? Brother, your mental resilience is indeed strong, but it's likely that you'll need to be even stronger mentally next. --- The pattern has formed; now it's just waiting for the risk to be released. I really want to see how they will perform on the day of unlocking. --- Who can handle a 3 million coin dump? This question is more worth pondering than the trend of the funding rate. --- A wait-and-see attitude is appropriate. Anyway, the current market signals are too mixed, and the probabilistic strategies don't have much advantage. Let's wait until market sentiment cools down.
