Funny seeing #LAB dump.
It felt inevitable.
The funny part is almost nobody wins in these setups.
Longs got rekt by the crash.
Shorts got rekt by funding while waiting for the crash.
That's the part many people miss.
On platforms like Bitget, funding for shorting $LAB reportedly exceeded -1.2% every 4 hours, with some intervals hitting exchange caps around -2.0%.
Think about that for a second.
A trader holding a $10,000 short at a -2% funding rate would be paying roughly $200 every 4 hours, that's $1,200 per day, directly to long holders, regardless of whether price moved lower or stayed flat.
So while everyone knew the move looked unsustainable, betting against it wasn't cheap.
Longs were collecting the funding yield, but that "free money" came with its own risk. The yield attracted more capital, liquidity stayed locked in, and when momentum finally disappeared, many of those same longs got caught in the dump.
We've seen this movie before with $RAVE.
Shorts identified the obvious bubble but got farmed by funding fees and squeezes while waiting.
Then the eventual collapse arrived and late longs got wiped out.
In these pump & dump style markets, being right on direction isn't enough.
You can be right and still lose.
Timing, funding costs, liquidity, and risk management matter just as much as the thesis itself.
$LAB is another reminder that:
- Chasing the pump is dangerous.
- Blindly shorting the pump is dangerous.
- The market often punishes both sides before rewarding anyone.
Longs got rekt by price.
Shorts got rekt by funding.
Few walked away with the profits.

$B2 crashed From $0.725 - $0.50 (-31% intraday from today's high)
Pumped to $0.73 yesterday, then violently rejected to $0.50 today
Reasons for the Dump
1. Exchange Distribution
- Over the past 7 days: Net +$204k inflow to exchanges, holders were positioning to sell
- This prepared the selling pressure that triggered today's dump
2. Wintermute Heavy Selling
✅ Silver Lining
Someone is accumulating the dip
l just bagged some.
Target 0.65 - 0.7

This year hasn't been so great tbh. It really makes me miss 2025.
By this time last year, we had already claimed
Magic Newton

$PLUME
Succinct
Cadera
$HOME
$LINEA
Union
Turtles
Initia
Loud
Eclipse (ASC)
Mammoth ( minted 2 and sold for $1,500 each)
Binance Alpha: $NXPC (Sold for $750)
...and plenty more I can't even remember.
Yet people were screaming "airdrop is dead" back then 💀 What are they going to say about 2026?
