The year 2025 closes with shocking names Myx, Coai, AIA.... and recently is $RIVER with a price increase of dozens, even nearly 100 times. The common characteristic of these tokens is that 80-90% of the token supply is in the hands of a few wallets. And the price increase chorus until the distribution phase is completely similar. First, a token when newly listed, the liquidity issue and trading volume are the most important. Most tokens that go public aim to exchange tokens for $ to recover expenses incurred for the project. However, now it is rare, most receive airdrops then compete to sell with the developers, so large holdings wanting to sell are not easy when there isn't enough liquidity on the buying side. Therefore, when these tokens are listed as Future, the developers have "reverse thinking" by gathering large Long orders, then instead of selling, they "reverse think" to buy more on the Alpha side, causing a shock increase. At this point, due to the shocking price increase on Alpha, the Future price cannot keep up, leading to a price discrepancy between Alpha and Future, so the Funding Fee gradually turns negative, meaning that Short positions will have to pay a fee to the Long side. After the token doubles to 2.3 times, the Future side increasingly shows a tendency to Short. The house continues to gather Long positions, and the main dish at this point is the Funding Fee. After the price increases, it will now trade sideways to balance Long and Short positions. Those who are stuck in Short positions at the bottom, if they can't bear the fee, will have to close their positions, meaning they must buy Long to create liquidity to counter the Short orders of new traders. After a sideways movement, they continue using the accounts on Alpha to buy in, pushing the price up a new wave ×2×3 again. And the chorus repeats. At this point, maximizing the price discrepancy between Alpha and FT to make the Funding Fee turn -2%/hour. At this moment, accounts stuck in Short positions will not be able to bear the fees and will have to close their positions by buying Long to counter. And new users see the Funding Fee -2%/hour too enticing, they begin to feel greedy and jump into Long. At this point, the house can easily offload on Alpha and Future. During this offloading, they always regulate so that the Funding remains, creating a psychological effect for Long users to keep earning fees even though prices are gradually decreasing. Thus, prices start to decrease slowly. Long holders at this time feel like frogs in a pot of boiling water, the price gradually decreases, but thanks to the fees, the feeling of loss is minimal, so they continue to hold Long. Long positions gradually shift from developers to users... And finally, when the percentage on Alpha is out and all Long positions are closed and additional Short positions are gathered, the house strongly offloads on Alpha. Because Alpha does not have large liquidity, when offloaded strongly, the price will fall quickly, dragging FT down, and the Funding balances out... and... when everything returns to dust until the house closes Short. The game is reset for a new round 😅... This is what the author has observed. At the weekend, let's create a topic for everyone to discuss for fun. 😍#BinanceSquareTalks
