BREV this round of market movement requires extra caution. The current market situation is very likely a trap deliberately set by the big players—using the allure of funding fees to attract long positions. But once a sideways consolidation pattern forms, chasing longs becomes a dangerous move.

Not convinced? Think about the big players' logic: sideways oscillation is the best way to shake out indecisive investors, especially those optimistic about airdrop expectations. After a round of shakeout, the real rally preparation begins.

So, buying at the current price seems good—funding fees can indeed be profitable—but the question is, where is the stop loss? If your stop loss is set around 0.3, or if you simply use the funding fee as a reverse hedge as your stop loss standard, you can profit from both sides. Doing it right results in net profit; doing it wrong is just like playing house with the big players—limited losses.

The key is mindset: don't chase tiny profits and get caught by the big players. Set your stop loss properly and exit when needed.

The sideways trading period has indeed been nerve-wracking. No matter how attractive the funding fee is, be cautious. Looking at the order book logic, there seems to be some substance, but you still need to be careful when actually taking action. It's the same routine of the market maker shaking out positions, playing this game every time. You can profit from the funding fee, but don't be lured in; stop-loss is the most important. This market feels like a trap, let's wait and see. Entering BREV now is a bit risky; I'm still observing. The funding fee is tempting but risky. It's better to wait for a stable signal first.

It's the same old story. Making money from funding fees for a couple of days makes you think you've won big, then a sudden plunge wipes out everything. The idea of sideways consolidation and shakeouts is tired. It's true, but no one can really avoid it. Setting a stop-loss at 0.3%? Haha, easy to say. When the price really drops, can you truly be willing to stop?

Consolidation indeed easily traps people, and that's how I got stuck myself.

Range-bound is just a trap to lure more buyers; I've seen through this trick long ago. --- Funding fees are attractive, but if you don't set your stop-loss properly, you'll just be waiting to be drained. --- Again, people are advising me not to be greedy; the key is to stay alive and exit. --- Being cautious at the 0.3 level is indeed necessary, or you'll become the market maker's ATM. --- The premise of both sides winning is having strong psychological resilience; most people can't do it. --- The routine of shaking out and clearing out traders is old news, but someone always falls for it. --- Instead of pondering how the market makers think, it's better to think about how you will survive. --- Would you choose the gains from funding fees or the profits from your principal being wiped out? --- If your stop-loss isn't set properly, no matter how much funding fee you earn, it's all in vain. --- The airdrop expectations—those people are probably already shaken out now.

That's easy to say, but how many can actually stick to their stop-loss? They're all armchair strategists after the fact.

The data does not support this judgment; it depends on the on-chain fee model. High funding fees themselves are a risk signal, and during sideways trading, the fee decay rate can be much faster than you imagine.

analyzed thoroughly - this funding rate trap screaming red flags ngl. sideways action = liquidation fest, classic whale playbook. stop loss at 0.3 or you're just donating to the house, fr fr.

It's easiest to get shaken out during sideways trading; this logic is solid. Funding fees are tempting but really a trap; I almost fell for it. Setting stop-losses poorly can easily lead to liquidation. This round of BREV is just the market manipulators fishing. Mindset is the key; greed will lead to loss.
