Many people have finally been awakened this time; the big bear is here and there's no escaping. Watching the funding rate also finally turn negative, indicating that the market cooling is real.

But the interesting part here is — a dead cat bounce often best captures the short positions that just entered the market. If a rebound really happens, then it's an opportunity to add to your positions and increase your holdings. If not, don't worry; keep holding your long-term short positions and calmly wait out the winter. Anyway, there's no rush in a bear market. Pay attention to the ETH/USDT candlestick chart for the details.

ETH-2,32%

Turning the fee rate negative is basically confirmed, but the part about the dead cat bounce was really intense. I've seen too many short positions get liquidated.

That move by Dead Cat Jump really trapped quite a few people, I almost got caught in it myself.

The rate turning negative is indeed interesting, but be really cautious with this dead cat bounce. --- In a bear market, just lie low; there's no rush anyway. --- Looking at this ETH candlestick, it feels like the bottom hasn't been reached yet. --- Adding positions? Let's see how far the rebound can go first. --- Hold onto long-term short positions, no need to mess around. --- A shift to negative funding rate is the real signal; everything else is noise. --- Dead cat bounce is the most deceptive; I don't believe this rebound will last long. --- Lying low and resting through winter is indeed comfortable, much better than watching the charts every day.

If Dead Cat Bounce really happens this time, I’ll have to manually add to my short position, anyway, that's all the spare money I have.

The fact that the fee rate has turned negative does show some signs, but don't underestimate the power of a dead cat bounce; it's easy to get caught off guard.
