RIVER's decline from $23 to $18 has been consolidating since 4 a.m., and there hasn't been much movement until now. The most heartbreaking part is the fees—negative fees continue to cut the leeks, and the short sellers are being bitten very painfully. Now I want to ask, how many people are still holding their shorts without running away? Is there anyone still stubbornly holding on?

The strategy of this coin's market makers is very clear— they won't be satisfied until they blow up the short sellers. After the short sellers run away, the price will either continue to consolidate or reverse to use high fees to suck blood and replenish bullets, then continue to push the price up and trigger a long squeeze. Both long and short positions have become meat grinders.

The previous spike was too outrageous—if I didn't have a bottom long position below $5 supporting me, that round of a full gamble would have been wiped out long ago. A market turn can make you eat both longs and shorts at the same time.

Negative fees, this damn thing, really is incredible, short sellers are being drained alive The market manipulators are playing psychological warfare, forcing everyone out before they’re satisfied This coin’s trend can reverse at any moment, if you don’t hold some core positions, you really can’t survive That spike almost broke me back then, and now it looks even more boring Consolidation, consolidation, just keeps consolidating, when the hell will it move? A market that favors both bulls and bears, it should have already moved out, what’s the point of holding it?

This trader is really ruthless, even when the fees turn negative, they still want to continue trapping. RIVER this wave is truly amazing, the bears are being squeezed to death. I think this sideways movement is just waiting for the air force to run out. I also have bottom orders below 5 yuan, but I'm a bit nervous. Both bulls and bears are eating, this is the real meat grinder. But honestly, in this kind of market, I still need to reduce my positions; the risk is too high. The trader's intentions are very clear, just waiting for us to blow ourselves up. To the brothers still stubbornly fighting the bears, I respect you as a real man.

Negative fees are still being charged, this dealer is really ruthless This market is too dirty, both bulls and bears are deadlocked Stuck at 18 dollars all morning, feeling like it will either break short or keep crashing My 5-dollar bottom order is still there, I dare not move Playing this kind of market is just a gamble, a turn of direction and it immediately reverses and explodes

Negative fees are really outrageous, this is outright cutting... and the brothers still holding on are really hardcore. --- I see through the market maker's tactics; I’m just waiting for the bears to completely blow up before I’m willing, it’s a total bloodbath. --- RIVER’s situation is a mix of bulls and bears... retail investors like us are just caught in the middle. --- Are bottom orders below five dollars still there? This guy really dares to do it. --- After such a long consolidation, it’s suddenly about to move, feels like the night before a storm. --- Fees are still negative? That’s just ridiculous, it’s outright harvesting. --- Only those with super strong mental resilience can hold the line, I just don’t understand this market anymore.

⚠️ CRITICAL: RIVER's funding rate mechanics screaming honeypot signals here. negative perpetual fees grinding shorts into dust—classic liquidation farming setup. not financial advice but... this reeks of MEV exploitation patterns i've documented before.

Negative fees are really amazing, the short sellers are taking a huge loss, the market makers are just holding us down --- Hard resistance? Bro, I gave up and ran long ago, we can't beat this game --- That afternoon when I inserted the needle, I almost lost everything, luckily I didn't go all-in --- Bull and bear are both getting wiped out, this is just RIVER's daily routine, even casinos aren't this ruthless --- Once the short sellers blow up, they'll definitely pull back, I've seen through this routine long ago --- Fee-based front-running, I think it's safer to exit --- The bottom order saved my life, otherwise I would have gone all-in --- This sideways movement is a bit annoying, feels like the market makers are holding back a big move

Negative fees—this move is really clever. The dealer just wants to eat everyone up. Air Force, no need to hardball anymore; this game is just a meat grinder. Brothers who bought in below 5 bucks, you're lucky this time. With fees being negative, what's the point of playing? It's heading straight for a crash. Just watching it makes me uncomfortable. The sideways movement might last until dawn without any reaction.

Negative fees are really the devil. Who still dares to leave this thing idle now?

Keep holding on, every trade must be profitable. Can't let the market manipulators easily harvest every short-seller warrior.
