100% agree. This is the trap most blind shorts miss. $ETH funding flipped negative — shorts now paying longs while crowded short interest piles in. But liquidations collapsed $17B → $5B, no cascade = no fuel. Bearish bias ≠ instant short. When funding is negative + liqs dry, elasticity for a violent bounce is max. Shorts feel safe, but are most at risk. Poker rule: waiting empty-handed IS a position. Let longs chase and pay fees again, then strike. #ETH #Ethereum #FundingRate #OKX #OKXOrbit
