Understanding Positive Funding on SHELL
Recent third-party derivatives snapshots reported mildly positive SHELL funding rates, approximately 0.005–0.01% per 8 hours.
Under the usual perpetual futures mechanism, positive funding means long positions pay short positions.
However, positive funding does not automatically indicate strong bullish sentiment. The rate must be considered alongside open interest, trading volume and price movement.
A small funding rate is a positioning indicator, not a price forecast.
