If you're still piling into leveraged $BTC longs after the funding rate tripled, stop now.
Too many traders ignore how quickly these fees compound and how fast a crowded trade can reverse. One sharp move lower and you're paying to hold a losing position while getting liquidated.
Some see the spike as bullish because paying elevated rates shows real conviction in $BTC . Price can still grind higher and squeeze the shorts. I disagree. Rates jumping this fast usually mean the longs are overcrowded, especially with greed already at 69 on the index. Similar setups in the past led to 8-10 percent pullbacks as $USDT-margined positions unwound.
This looks more like a warning than confirmation of the next rally.
Where do you stand on fading versus riding this funding spike?
