🐋 $GTC Current funding rate: -0.0508% (settled every 4 hours); shorts pay.
Funding rates are often the first to reflect which way the crowd is leaning.
The rate consists of two parts: the premium of the contract over spot, plus a base interest-rate component. When the premium is small, most contracts settle every 8 hours at around 0.01%.
Unusual readings often signal more extreme volatility. In these moments, it’s better to reduce leverage rather than increase your position.
