The $ALPACA Trap: How a Delisting Turned Into a $3B Liquidation Carnival
It started like any other token delisting.

On April 24, Binance announced the removal of four low-liquidity assets—including $ALPACA. The token, expected to fade into irrelevance, instead exploded, surging 150% within hours. That alone caught the eye of short sellers—after all, who would seriously buy a token on its way out?

Then came April 25. #ALPACA surged another 175%, only to be slammed down again. Binance quietly adjusted the funding rate calculation from every 4 hours, to 2, then 1. Shorts piled in, believing this was a classic “dead cat bounce.” But the bounce wasn’t dead. It was bait.

By April 29, funding rates were raised to 4% per hour—an insane figure that all but guaranteed pressure on short sellers to exit or be wiped out. And on April 30, ALPACA soared to an all-time high. Liquidations in just 4 hours topped the entire network. The open interest reached $110 million, with a 24-hour volume of $3 billion.

Behind the scenes, the project team held no tokens. Market makers dumped their allocations right after the delisting notice. Who held ALPACA now? Mostly one entity—likely the “shell owner,” or someone aligned. They weren't trying to sell. They were hunting.
The market maker had built a perfect trap: use the delisting to spark panic, run up the price to lure shorts, let the high funding rate churn them, and then harvest liquidations as price kept rising. They didn’t need to sell to profit—just push the price and watch the shorts implode.

The irony? What was meant to be a cleanup operation to protect s from “bad” tokens turned into a sophisticated liquidation scheme. A coin no one wanted became a money printer—not because of fundamentals, but because of systemic blind spots.

If there's a lesson here, it’s this: shorting is never “free money.” While long positions cap your loss, shorts come with infinite risk. And when the rules shift mid-game, even a smart trader can get swept away.

This wasn’t just a pump.

The end.

For me, I shorted after 200% and left later. Also, I longed when it dumped and made some profit. Round trip made me lose my profit, so I left. Why? I ed TRB pumping from $100 to $660 just to liquidate shorts last year.

Also, did you notice the manipulation? They were secretly increasing funding fee. So, make sure you monitor your funding rate and also pick some lesson from a situation like this.

Ben does not care about TA, but he's successful in the game.

Steve does don't care about macros, but he's successful in the game.

That means you don't need to know everything to succeed in the game — you just need to master your path.

iLegendd:
I learned from everyone on YouTube, but the two people I took their words seriously were Ben and Steve.

Funnily, Ben is the opposite of Steve.

He said he doesn't like TA and doesn't even bother to know the difference between a hammer and gravestone doji. He's all about 95% macros and 5% TA.

Steve on the other hand, doesn't care at all about macros, he sees it as noise and distraction. He's 100% all about TA and what's on the chart and 0% about macros.

Miraculously two of them are always 80-95% right in their forecast.

Now, this made me realize it's not really what you do, but how well you do it. The moment you're an expert at it, you'll succeed even if it's the least followed route.

This is to say, 2x leverage or 100x leverage isn't bad. The question is: are you an expert at it? Do you have your risk management locked?
Have you taken the time to master how it works like a pro?

The 3rd guy on the list, Camirand, stumbled on him this year and he's been posting for 4 years. I like his method too because he's a combination of Steve and Ben and also a combination of the last two guys below, whom I found this year as well.

So, with this, I'll soon withdraw from most macro news and only focus on when QE / QT starts and stops and the volume/price on the chart. 70% of my data nowadays is spent on watching Donald Trump this, Tariff that, US this, recession that. The noise is too much.

I just love Steve's method, Ben's QE / QT and BTC dominance advocacy and Camirand's use of Colin's M2 Global supply + everyone's elses ideas in a concise manner.

With this, I'll waste less time on YouTube on American issues and focus on what's on the chart and the 4 year cycle with a few other things.

Summary: it's not what you do, but how well you do it.

The market rewards a diligent specialist.

I personally don't care about type of candle stick, I just like reading naked chart I discover something thing tiny yesterday.here is what I discover
If btc is in a bullish trend,the trend will continue until there is a slight decrease in the all time low,
Assuming it happens today,
Tomorrow candle will be bullish
Then the next candle will be bearish
Unlocking bearish trend.

Is the 2FA Google? If yes, I though they have a backup system.

Please how do you advise one safely backs it up?
Recall that backup if not done securely can expose you to easy hack.

Every time the strength is headlong against resistances, a breakthrough will give us 95K✅,96K,and 97K.

The recent negative GDP report did not adversely affect the market's. The dip there was was bought up. I'm still optimistic that the resistance shall be broken through, and the 96K shall come. Uptrend

Seems to be prepping for some run!

Futures traders, let’s try and run with this trends

I am risking $33 for this trade.

My stop loss is 8.3

Trade and Think like a champion

⚠️

Practicals is on going…


No noise

If you are taking this trade, I’ll close like 50% of my position if it goes to 10.
And try to renter again if I see chance


If this trade stays for 7 hours and I don’t start seeing profits

I’ll find a way and start exiting it small small

I finally see why all these people like attacking this Alexas58 guy, I observe that it's only him and one other guy like that who actually shows their trades so others can see and follow openly without too much noise.

Themainboy22:
If you look at the chart very well, you'll find out that the market is still very bearish especially for altcoins. We'll still chop tomato from now till April/may before we can see any significant uptrend.

I made this comment on the 1st of march. But I think it's time we get some relief. We have from now till maybe July and if you see any profit, please take it.

So why not block those making noise & follow those showing their trades?? You never see anything! I'm very sure this is one of your alternates, I can't seeing this moniker contribution on this thread. If I am not mistaken alexa58 should be the most blocked person on this thread. This block button has already revealed it was all about envy & hate, not really about posts. Even after block button, u are still coming here with your alternates to lament, u go cry tire! God bless Seu.n for this block button, it is the best thing that has ever happened to this thread.

A thread full of bickering old men everyday for the past few years, una no dey tire

DIGITAL INVESTMENT FORMULA AND WHERE TO RUN TO IN TIMES OF TROUBLE

1. CASH IS KING = If Gold is weak & stocks is weak, then move to CASH.

2. RISK-ON = If Gold is weak & Dollar is weak, then move to STOCKS + BTC.

3. DEFENCE =  If Stocks is weak & Dollar is weak, then move to GOLD.

MNEMONIC FOR QUICK RECALL

Mnemonics are silly things you already know that help you easily important things you don’t know yet.

1. GSm Cash (is king) (Picture a telephone (GSm) holding a crown and cash).

2. GDp Stocks (fish) (Picture a stock fish on a GDP report).

3. DSs Gold (digger) (Picture a female DSs officer holding or digging gold).

So, the 3 charts to always monitor if you want to use this formula are

1. Dollar (DXY)
2. Gold (XAU)
3. S&P500 (SPX)

This is the best way to things forever.

I thought I posted about BTC at 99k...alas not...or the post didn't make it...

Recall that backup if not done securely can expose you to easy hack.

Google Auth has a backup button. Just make sure your Gmail is strong and you have multiple authentications on that one too.

Also, have 2-3 phones. One should be at home 100% and properly hidden in a place where flood or fire outbreak won't damage it. It should be synchronised with your main phone incase of loss.

Also, for the 12 phrase for your wallet, I always form a short and memorable story with extra words, but when I watch the story, I know the particular words that are parts of my key words.

I even have a children story on YouTube, but no one knows some of those words are phrase.

This image below is a wallet, but I pity who wants to hack it. I have lots of similar stories, turned to video animation. I take my backups seriously and I use unconventional approaches.

The reason I do this is to enable me travel the world easily without worrying about hardware wallet or having access to money.

Also, another way to save your phrase is to use Photoshop. Put the keywords beneath your family photo and save it as TIF. This means you can view the picture on any device as normal pix, but there are hidden data in it when opened with Photoshop. I think SVG or EPS file format will work too.

Oh...I see the post now

I said 98k first. Ignore the post on top.

I see a move towards 98k first for BTC. Hopefully...

Auction doesn’t want to pump
So I am closing it

My short trade on Jasmy still ongoing

I am very careful longing the market as I believe we are in a bear market

The pump is about to be over. Exit your positions now.My 2kobo opinion

During Bear Run >>> Empty Noise with no single Evidence.

During Bull Run >>> Still Empty Noise with no Evidence.

The day you will attempt to put any of those Empty Noise into practice, that's the day will Blow your .

It's an error to invest in Altcoin, & hold for 1-3yrs with no profit to show: Whoever is encouraging you to keep holding is only deceiving you.
Max 4 to 8 months from the day of purchase, you should be in massive profit.

To carry everyone along, all these noise makers with no practical evidence must stop being a distraction.
I don't think they have any intent of stopping in the nearest future, so I will soon be leaving the thread.
