The key game with Sahara happens in that one hour before 12 o’clock. Because of the -2% maxed funding rate, after 12, the funding settles every 1H. Some big players are probably eyeing that exact time to make their move. If you bought right at the open, that was way too early—down 42% all the way as the main players dumped. Once the funding switches to 1H intervals, it’ll be tough for the whales to keep shorting and dumping nonstop. They’ll either have to finish unloading in these two hours, or if they drag it out, they’ll get hit with 16% funding fees overnight—no way they can stomach that. Wouldn’t be surprised if they start closing shorts too. Keep an eye on price action in about an hour. I think they’ll try something here. If things don’t go as I expect, I’m not gonna chase shorts—risk/reward just isn’t there.

I am not saying that I must long, I am looking at the trend according to the time node, and I don’t want anyone to become my liquidity. . The bet is that the main force will slowly close the short position after selling out the goods, and level the price.
