Futures Market Slips Lower 📉

The weekend's tariff policy developments haven't held up well in the trading session. Market sentiment shifted sharply as traders priced in the potential economic impacts. This kind of policy uncertainty typically triggers volatility in both traditional markets and crypto futures, catching leveraged positions off guard.

When geopolitical or trade tensions spook the broader financial system, crypto futures often follow suit—sometimes amplifying the downside moves. Weekend gaps like these are classic setups for Monday morning volatility, especially when major policy shifts hit over the break.

This weekend's move caused the leveraged positions to explode directly, serves you right. When tariffs move, the crypto circle trembles along, it's ridiculous. The opening on Monday will be a bloodbath, I bet five bucks. This is why you shouldn't be greedy and hold positions over the weekend. Policy black swans are the most terrifying, unpredictable and uncontrollable. Once again dragged down by traditional finance, is this some kind of prank? I've said it before, gaps inevitably lead to big volatility, now believe it?

I woke up on the weekend and got liquidated. Tariff policies are really unbelievable... Brothers with leveraged positions are probably kicking themselves now. --- Another policy black swan, this thing is unstoppable. --- Monday's opening is probably going to be bloody. Let's pray in advance, everyone. --- Futures are following the traditional market to the grave. Is this our fate... --- The gap risk is no joke. As soon as the weekend news came out, futures just laid flat.

Woke up over the weekend and got cut again, tariffs really took the cake. Leverage positions must have already blown up, I'm just watching. Another policy black swan, Monday probably will break below. It's just geopolitics, crypto still gets sacrificed, hilarious. Weekend gap, bloodbath on Monday, same old story, and some people still fall for it.

Sleeping over the weekend and waking up to this wave has made me question life. For those with leveraged positions, you're probably going to be eating dirt haha.

Another round of tariff drama, this time the leveraged positions are really getting crushed. With the policy announced over the weekend, Monday's early trading is bound to see blood. The habit of following the crypto trend never changes; it always amplifies the decline. What can't be held onto is all fate. Spot trading is still okay, but futures traders are probably going bankrupt again. Gaps, as usual, will take the hit on Monday.
