Example (simple numbers): • Funding: -1.2% → +0.04% • Price: $22 → $44 • Short liquidations: very high
What actually happened: • Shorts were forced to close (liquidated) • Their shorts became market buys • Those buys pushed price up fast • Shorts disappeared → longs dominate
👉 That’s why funding flips positive Not because demand is strong — but because shorts are gone
⸻
🧠 What Market Makers do next • Market makers, who bought spot earlier, start selling spot into the pump • At the same time, they open shorts on perps • Funding stays positive → longs pay
👉 Price looks stable, but distribution is happening
⸻
❌ Where people get trapped
Retail thinks:
“Funding + → bullish continuation”
Reality:
“Funding + → squeeze fuel is finished”
⸻
🎯 One-line takeaway
Funding turns positive because shorts get liquidated — while market makers sell spot and hedge with shorts. #river #Liquidations $RIVER
• Short liquidity was taken above 0.030–0.033 • Price quickly rejected → early longs cleared • Long liquidity now sits below 0.025, with stops stacked under the recent low

Newly listed PERP = liquidity discovery phase ⚠️
Fresh Binance Perp listings aren’t about trend — they’re about leverage, liquidations, and positioning resets.
Early price moves are usually: • late longs getting wiped • shorts getting baited • market makers testing both sides
This is a high-volatility environment, not a clean directional setup. Risk > opportunity here.
“This move was pure liquidity. Shorts paid, OI stayed high. Let’s see if price holds above 30.”

RIVER analysis 🧵
RIVER just delivered a clean short squeeze.
Over $3.3M shorts liquidated in 24h, price expanded ~30% while Open Interest stayed elevated — this wasn’t a blow-off top, it was liquidity-driven expansion.
Retail is still short-heavy, meaning fuel remains.
As long as price holds $30–31, the path of least resistance points higher toward $34–36. A pullback into $26–28 would be a healthy liquidity reset, not bearish by default.
👉 This move was about liquidations, not hype. Watch OI + funding — that’s where the next clue is. #river #Liquidations $RIVER {future}(RIVERUSDT)

📉 What happened: Price was pushed into a liquidity zone → mass long liquidations got taken. This wasn’t panic selling — it was liquidity engineering. Market makers flushed overleveraged positions.
📊 What we see now: • RSI back to neutral → no longer oversold • Volume cooling down → weak hands already out • Open Interest wiped → market reset completed
🎯 What may come next: 1️⃣ Short consolidation around current levels 2️⃣ Liquidity build below price 3️⃣ Fast upside move → potential short squeeze 4️⃣ First targets: previous local highs
⚠️ Reminder: Once liquidity is taken, price moves where the majority is NOT positioned.
🧠 Follow liquidity, not emotions.

Liquidity taken. Weak longs flushed. Market reset completed — now waiting for direction.

📉 What happened: Price dropped sharply from the 95.5K area, taking liquidity below and flushing weak longs. High volume confirms forced selling and liquidation-driven move.
📊 Current state: Price is stabilizing around 92.6K. RSI is recovering from oversold → short-term relief bounce possible.
🔮 What may happen: • 93.5K–94K = first resistance / possible retest • Failure to reclaim → range consolidation • Loss of 91.9K opens next downside liquidity zone

🔥 XRP JUST DUMPED 4.7 % IN 15 MIN ! 💥 $1.18 M LONGS LIQUIDATED – OI COLLAPSED $585 M ! Bounce to 2.02 $ OR close below 1.94 $ = NEXT MOVE ! #XRP #BINANCE #LIQUIDATION ⚡️ $XRP
ICP just made a strong impulsive move from the $3.05 area to $4.81, followed by a healthy pullback.
What the data shows: • Price is cooling after expansion → normal after vertical moves • MA(25) still holding structure, MA(99) far below → trend remains bullish • RSI reset (no overbought pressure anymore) • OI-Weighted Funding stays negative → market is still leaning short • Shorts > Longs → fuel for potential continuation
Key zones to watch: • Support: $4.10 – $3.95 • Resistance: $4.55 – $4.80
This is exactly the type of structure my learning system focuses on: ➡️ trend ➡️ liquidity ➡️ positioning (OI + funding) ➡️ patience after impulse
Not chasing candles. Waiting for confirmation.
Market doesn’t reward speed — it rewards understanding.
Money flow shows net outflows across all order sizes, suggesting weak demand for now. RSI remains neutral, indicating no clear directional confirmation yet.
📌 Direction will be defined after a liquidity sweep. #KGST $KGST
After a strong impulsive move, RIVER is now trading in a liquidity void.
🔹 Buy-side liquidity was partially taken near $15, but not fully cleaned 🔹 Major sell-side liquidity sits around $13.0 → $12.5 🔹 Open Interest dropped after the pump → leveraged positions got flushed 🔹 Shorts still dominate, which keeps the door open for a potential squeeze
Technically, price is holding the mid-range. As long as $13.0 holds, the structure remains constructive. Loss of that level could lead to a deeper liquidity sweep.
Fundamentally, River’s omni-CDP & no-bridging narrative is strong — but price still needs proper consolidation to build a sustainable base.
📌 Volatility = opportunity 📌 Patience = edge
