let me give a proper explanation on how this shit works because seeing a lot of fake news when you see these insane candles happening on random tokens like LAB, RAVE, Momentum etc it’s because of a group of people do what is called “active market making” almost all of these “active market makers” are based in China/Asia. many claim to be able to achieve results like RAVE and LAB but few can actually properly deliver typically these AMMs will either approach projects prior to launch or after launch (if certain conditions can be met). but scammy projects also look to approach them the deal is usually that the AMM will put up the capital needed to push the token to the insane highs you see, and in return for the project letting the AMM “crime” their token they split whatever the profits are once the crime is complete so how does the crime work and how do the people involve profit? the first thing you’ll notice is that all these tokens have perp listings (usually binance perps) but very few spot listings this is intentional. the first major requirement for this crime to happen is absolute control of the spot supply of the token by that I mean the team/insiders need to control basically the entirety of the float. RaveDAO for instance, insiders were estimated to control over 98% of the spot supply this is vital because spot supply that isn’t controlled by insiders can be sold into the spot price being driven up by perps. to help prevent this is another reason why tokens with basically no spot listings or liquidity are chosen. if there is a lot of spot supply ready to be dumped on the AMM then it could bankrupt them, meaning the crime has failed as it is their capital at risk, AMMs are even asking projects to put them on all the multisigs for the token supply, to ensure that nothing can be dumped while the crime is happening so once supply is completely controlled then what? these AMMs don’t just commit the crime from one or two binance accounts. the accounts would likely be frozen instantly. instead they have 1000s of KYC’d accounts which operate in unison to drive the perp price up because no one has supply to sell, there isn’t any other way to drive the price back down except to short but this is where they get you the AMM can squeeze any short placed, as every shorter will have their breaking point. either their own tolerance or a liquidation point. every short that gets liquidated or stopped out is profit for the AMM add onto the fire that because of huge dislocations between underlying and perp price, you get some insane funding rates. as I write this LAB is -1% an hour shorts pays longs (over 8000% a year). this makes it even harder for shorts to hold their position, plus the AMM is making bank on their long positions funding BriskCapital is right when he says they wouldn’t have let him win with this size of a short position, especially publicly. his mistake was trying to short it in the first place, which is exactly what the AMMs want you to do. where do you think the 7 figs he lost went to? then whenever they decide the crime is complete they pull the rug and you see the collapse candle to zero. because they are the only entity holding the bid up, they have complete control over when and how the price collapses (meaning they can also likely join in on the short) my advice is to not touch these tokens. if you want to feel something just buy a small amount for fun. definitely do not buy anything sizeable, do not make any trades on leverage and DO NOT SHORT you are trying to compete against an entity that has complete control over where price goes

this would be one of the worst case scenarios only people worse might be wes streeting or the red haired woman who committed fraud

the Smackdown vs Raw 2007 soundtrack is so fucking good brings back so many memories

yea i love to suck off hyperliquid as much as everyone else in crypto but it did NOT have the right open price lol it was trading at 170 all of yday and then around 167, and then it started nuking as they announced the opening price being reduced to 151

space stock holders are surprised that their stocks sold off on a pretty obvious sell the news? they will rebound, but this seemed obvious as hell...

you can't even begin to estimate how much damage The Big Short has done to wannabe investors the nasdaq is up 7x since the film came out over a decade ago. anyone who has focused on shorting the market or being bearish since then is bankrupt the correct decision since the film's release in December 2015 has been to stay max long In 1.5 years, Leopold's Situational Awareness has already outperformed Burry's housing market short when will they release The Big Long?

jukan knows ball

filled OUST ~8% position at 39 moving back above the 21sma send it

CRDO is a monster have none unfortunately

regardless of whether you think this policy is good or not — this government are perhaps the most clueless i've seen when it comes to messaging the UK is having an unemployment crisis with young people suffering one of the worst job markets in decades. the Milburn Review was *just* released highlighting how dire it currently is immigration is also a huge focus, with many believing the UK is in the midst of an immigration crisis and Labour decide now is a great time to implement policy that will help British firms hire foreign workers rather than unemployed British workers just such poor timing

KOSPI hynix/square back down again today still looking at around this area for a bottom hopefully

if you levered up heavy at the top of AI stocks god help you
