Market Cap: A $0.10 coin isn't 'cheap', friend — supply is the other half of the math.
Perpetual Futures: A futures contract that never expires — you can stay wrong forever, as long as you keep paying for it.
Funding Rate: It's the rent one side of the trade pays the other — when everyone's long, longs pay, and the rent tells you which side is crowded.
Liquidation: It's the exchange closing your trade for you because your margin ran out — the market didn't stop you, your leverage did.
Long/Short Ratio: When 65% of accounts are long, the market knows exactly where the stops are — the ratio tells you whose side is about to be hunted.
Support & Resistance: Everyone's watching the same level — which is exactly why price wicks through it before it holds.
