fundingrate

Většina obchodníků si myslí, že se cena pohybuje náhodně kolem doby financování.
Nehýbe. Pohybuje se kvůli financování.
Matematika, o které nikdo nechce mluvit Při současných úrovních financování:
10x páka → ~4.3% kapitálu ztraceno na cyklus financování
20x páka → ~8.6% kapitálu pryč, i když cena nikam nejde
Nezaujímáte 'pozici'. Platíte neustálý trest jen za to, abyste zůstali v obchodě.
Boční trh? Krvácíte. Malý pokles? Panikaříte. Jeden výstřel proti vám? Jste donuceni vystoupit.
Takto obchodníci přicházejí o peníze, aniž by kdy byli špatní v směru.

Most crypto traders think price moves because of news or hype. In reality, leverage positioning often controls short-term price.
And the best window into leverage positioning is 👉 Funding Rates
👉 Funding Rates: If you understand funding, you can:
Avoid getting trappedAnticipate squeezesTrade smarterImprove entries & exits
Let’s break it down properly.🔹 What Is Funding Rate?Funding rate is a periodic payment between:
• Long traders
• Short traders
It keeps perpetual futures price aligned with spot price.
If funding is:
📈 Positive → Longs pay shorts 📉 Negative → Shorts pay longs
This shows which side is overcrowded.
🔹 Why Funding Rate Matters
Markets punish overcrowded positions.
When:
• Too many longs → market dumps
• Too many shorts → market pumps
Funding tells us:
✔ Market bias
✔ Risk of liquidation cascades
✔ Probability of fake moves
🔹 How Traps Are Built Using Funding
1️⃣ Positive Funding Trap
Funding strongly positive, Everyone long, Market dumps suddenly → Long liquidation cascade
2️⃣ Negative Funding Trap, Funding strongly negative, Everyone short, Market pumps suddenl→ Short squeeze
These are not accidents.
They are positioning resets
🔹 Funding vs Open Interest (Power Combo)
Funding alone is good.
Funding + Open Interest is powerful
Scenario A:
Funding positive
Open interest risin Overleveraged longsDump risk high
Scenario B:Funding negative Open interest rising
Overleveraged shorts Pump risk high
Scenario C: Funding neutral
Open interest dropping→ Healthy move
🔹 Retail Mistakes With Funding - Retail traders:
❌ Ignore funding
❌ Long after pumps
❌ Short after dumps
❌ Use high leverage
❌ Trade emotionally
They join trades when risk is highest.
🔹 Smart Way to Use Funding in Trading
Strategy - Entry Timing
Wait for:
✔ Funding extreme
✔ Price near resistance/support
✔ Liquidity above/below
Then trade reversal.
Example (BTC Futures)
BTC pumps to 94k
Funding = +0.12% Open interest spikes
Everyone bullish
Sudden dump to 90k Longs liquidated Funding resets
Market stabilizes
That dump was not fear —
It was leverage cleanup.
🔹 Risk Management With Funding Trades
Never:

❌ Trade only fundinG
❌ Use high leverage
❌ Ignore price structure
Always:
✔ Combine with levels
✔ Use small size
✔ Accept invalidation
✔ Think in probabilities
🔹 Final Thought
Price doesn’t trap people.Positioning traps people.Funding rate tells you:Who is crowdedWho is payingWho is vulnerable
Trade with the data Not with the crowd.
🧠 Key Takeaway
Funding shows market bias Extremes = trap zonesCombine with open interestUse for reversals & confirmation#fundingrate $BTC
