A certain leading exchange recently launched $RIVER perpetual contracts, and this move definitely caught people's attention. Just looking at the trading volume data, these high-profile contract products can attract a lot of traffic as soon as they go live, no wonder other platforms are also eyeing them.

However, the current market situation is heavily skewed towards long positions, and the fee structure has shifted to favor multi-party payments—this signal is quite clear. Once such a situation forms, market makers usually won't hold back; reverse selling is a common operation. Their goal is to eat up retail orders in the opposite direction. The more crowded the longs, the greater the room for market makers to act.

Friends participating in perpetual contracts should be cautious. Blindly increasing leverage to enter at this time is a high-risk operation. Market makers will always go against your position, especially when longs are extremely crowded, so risk control is particularly important.

Another contract product for traffic harvesting, this time it's RIVER. Same old trick again. The funding rate turning positive is so obvious, retail investors are still疯狂加杠杆, basically feeding market makers. Still敢追多 at this point, they really have too much money.

Another rug-pulling contract has gone live. The long positions have been accumulated for so long, it should have been smashed already.

Another leek harvest machine is online, is it RIVER's turn this time? With the bulls piled up like this, I see a cliff... Market makers never hold back when it's time to act, and we retail investors are just lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Perpetual contracts, you really need to be cautious. The higher the leverage, the faster you die—brutal lessons learned. Looking at those brothers going all-in long, I can't help but sweat for them... This wave of fees is favoring the long side; just wait to be reverse-culled, the tricks are old and well-known. The first day of trading for the new contract saw explosive volume, all driven by capital's script to harvest the leeks. The longs are too crowded; the market maker loves this kind of situation, a quick reverse kill to catch everyone off guard.

It's the same trick again. The bulls are stacking so aggressively, no wonder they didn't dump the market.

Same old trick. With the bulls stacked up like this, do you still dare to enter? Just wait to be eaten by the orders.

Another rug-pulling contract, with long positions stacking so aggressively, just wait to be crushed in the opposite direction.

It's the same trick again. The bulls are stacking so aggressively that the big players will definitely hit back. The retail investors are still sleepwalking.

Another high leverage trap. I bet five dollars that someone will get liquidated next week, haha.

Another new contract goes live and is immediately targeted by vampire market makers. I'm almost tired of this routine. When the funding rate is negative, they still dare to hold full positions long. Just surviving to break even is good enough. Perpetuals are just like a casino; the house always has chips you can't imagine. $RIVER is now heavily stacked with longs. I'll just quietly watch the story unfold. Don't ask me, I won't join.
