📊 Crypto Education — Funding Rate
💡 UNDERSTANDING FUNDING RATE
If you trade crypto futures, funding rate is an important metric to understand.
🔹 Positive Funding 🟢
Longs pay shorts → the market is generally more long-heavy.
🔹 Negative Funding 🔴
Shorts pay longs → the market is generally more short-heavy.
📈 Why watch it?
When funding becomes extremely positive or negative, the market can become crowded on one side. A sudden move in the opposite direction can trigger liquidations and create a long or short squeeze.
🧠 Best approach:
Don't use funding rate alone. Combine it with price action + volume + open interest + support/resistance.
⚠️ Funding rate is a market-sentiment tool, not a guaranteed buy/sell signal.
