$RIVER — A Warning for Short Traders
RIVER has been one of the most discussed tokens recently, and for a clear reason:
short sellers have been heavily punished over the last 12–15 days.
📈 Price Behavior:
The price formed highs around 31–32
Dropped sharply to 16
Then made a strong rebound back to 25–26
This kind of structure creates violent reversals, which are extremely dangerous for short positions.
💸 Funding Fee Pressure:
As visible in the screenshots, traders are paying massive funding fees while holding shorts.
In such conditions, even if the price moves slightly, funding alone can drain accounts.
⚠️ Why Shorts Are at Risk:
Highly volatile price action
Aggressive funding rates
Repeated squeezes against short positions
This is a classic setup where short traders become liquidity, not winners.
🔍 My View:
Until volatility and funding normalize, shorting River is extremely risky.
Sometimes the best trade is staying away and protecting capital.
🧠 Markets don’t need to fall to hurt shorts — funding and volatility are enough.
