$RIVER's performance across multiple exchanges is indeed interesting. The spread between spot and perpetual contracts is beginning to widen, and this mismatch is becoming more and more apparent. From a technical perspective, once funds start flowing significantly into the spot market, the price is likely to experience a rapid surge. To be honest, this situation could continue to worsen. So if you're considering shorting, be cautious — the uncertainty in this $RIVER trend is quite high, and the risk is not small.

Is the widening spread a sign to go short? Isn't that just the classic pump-and-dump strategy? I've seen it many times. --- When funds pour into spot, the short positions are immediately wiped out. By then, it's too late to cry. --- It's good if there's a mismatch; it's actually a signal to bottom fish. Why always think about going short? --- In this kind of market, you should wait. The real opportunity comes when the market is genuinely panicking. Betting now is too early. --- Perpetuals and spot trading mainly profit the big players. Retail investors entering are just sending their money to be bloodied. --- $RIVER is indeed strange, but going short? Let's forget it. Consider it when the stop-loss hits. --- Everyone is watching this spread, which means there's nothing to do. Just let the bullets fly for a while.

The spot perpetual arbitrage space is so large that I really don't dare to short easily, feeling like I could get slapped in the face at any time.

The spot contract spread is so large, it feels like someone is holding a big move in reserve.

The spot perpetual spread is so wide, short sellers need to be careful.
