RAVE(RAVEUSDT) recently rose by over 70%, topping the rise leaderboard, but the market data suggests caution.

The most intuitive signal is that the funding rate remains positive, yet the trading volume has not correspondingly increased. What does this usually mean? Either retail investors are hesitant to open short positions, or the scale of chips accumulated by the big players at the bottom is beyond imagination.

From the real market operations, five altcoins have been opened recently, with one stopping loss and the other three just barely gaining some profit before being directly hit by the stop profit. Only RAVE at this position can withstand all losses. Behind this reflects a typical ignition pump — accelerating liquidity inflow, but deliberately not giving retail investors the opportunity to follow.

The critical moment has arrived: when the price starts to consolidate at a high level, or when retail investors are repeatedly cut and can no longer stand it and start to close their positions, especially when the funding rates move to extreme negative numbers and long positions surge, the moment of a double explosion of long and short positions is approaching.

RAVE-6.08%

A 70% increase looks great, but the positive fee rate trading volume can't keep up... I've seen this trick too many times. The big players are stacking chips at the bottom, and retail investors are scared to short. Just wait and watch the show.

A 70% rise sounds great, but if the rates are positive and the volume doesn't follow? I've seen this trap too many times, the market maker has already filled up at the bottom.

It seems to be the old trick of the market maker again, and a high-level Sideways movement is the real danger signal.

Chasing a 70% rise is not bravery, it's courting death. The disappointing fees and the volume can't keep up; it's obvious that the market maker is accumulating.

A 70% rise looks great, but positive fees and insufficient volume? That's ridiculous, typical market makers are accumulating.

RAVE this wave is a bit eerie, a 70% rise but the volume is not keeping up, it really feels like the market maker is quietly making a fortune. Are retail investors panicking? I think this funding rate will turn around sooner or later. High position sideways is the most dangerous, this rhythm feels very familiar. The take profit being pierced hit me, it feels like it’s talking about my recent experience. Waiting to see the funding rate turn negative, that's when it will be time to pull out. This game is just one long wick candle away from breaking the window paper. Feeling-wise, RAVE seems a bit overvalued, it’s performing too uniquely compared to other coins.

A 70% rise is honestly a bit shocking, the funding rate is positive and the volume can't keep up, isn't this just a typical market maker accumulating? Retail investors are completely trapped and don't dare to buy the dip.

The recent rise of rave is indeed ridiculous, but looking at your chart analysis, it feels like telling a carefully crafted story of a slaughterhouse. Wait, did you say that those 3 take profits were broken? This is just a regular operation by the market maker, specifically hunting down those retail investors who set their take profits. Rave is likely following a similar tactic now, so we still need to be careful. By the way, the funding rate is currently paired with insufficient volume, which is indeed a bit strange. If that's the case, then we will see when the high-level sideways movement appears.
