Some big players are now really being held over a fire. The market makers are just eating their money, and there's no way to escape. If they choose to close their positions, many retail traders who are short will be directly overwhelmed by this order. The problem is that the big players themselves are also losing money regularly, and the funding rate can't recover their costs at all. This is the current situation—only able to wait passively, waiting for the market makers to be full, then shift the funding direction to let the short sellers absorb the costs. Otherwise, no matter how this order moves, it will be a loss. Caught in the middle, stuck between a rock and a hard place.

That's really incredible. Large investors are completely trapped and can't move at all. This is the most desperate situation.

The big players are really unstoppable this time. The large investors are being completely wiped out, and the bears can't escape either. This situation is a deadlock.

The market maker's move this time is truly brilliant. Large traders are just sheep waiting to be slaughtered.

The fee inversion has lasted so long; whoever bears it will explode. There's really no way out.
---
Between a rock and a hard place? Instead of waiting to die, might as well take a gamble.
---
This is the price of being caught in the middle. No one to blame.
---
Wait and see. Anyway, you'll have to pay the fees sooner or later. The question is, whose fees will you pay?
---
Large traders usually lose money, and now they have to be eaten again. It's absurd.

Impossible to escape; closing positions will also wipe out retail traders. It's just a hard deadlock.

This is the curse of spot and futures trading. Large traders getting trapped and stuck is truly unavoidable.

Damn, that's crazy. This is what you call being trapped, right?

Wow, even big players are being exploited for profit. This market is ruthless.
The market maker has control over everyone; anyone who makes a move will die.
Fees are skyrocketing. Who dares to take action now?
Is that all? Might as well wait to die, what else can we do?
The hardest part now is that both sides are like knives.

This is what it means to be tightly held, not even daring to move a bit.
