$KAVA: −61.44% in 24 hours, but −0.0692% funding hasn’t erased the imbalance
The drop has already happened, yet funding remains negative—the market is still paying to hold short positions, even though the price is barely moving. Over 15 minutes, the price fell −0.19%, with an RSI of 50.9 and volume at 0.6 of normal: momentum has faded, but the rate remains deeply negative. This points to a possible buildup of crowded shorts, not a confirmed reversal.
Observation range · 5 hours
Above 0.029300: Holding above the upper boundary of the local range would cast doubt on the crowded-shorts hypothesis.
Below 0.025070: A return to the lower boundary while funding remains negative would strengthen the case for selling pressure.
These are historical levels; a single wick does not confirm a scenario.
Is negative funding here a lingering trace of panic, or a sign that short positions have yet to close?
