Rate flips negative, but the position is still being built

$DATAIP 0.2212. +3.5%.

OI +20.2%. 1.6M > 1.9M > 1.8M > 1.9M.

Prices are rising, while the position is stacking. Trading volume: $7.7M.

The funding rate dropped from +0.0050% to -0.0033%. It’s negative.

Shorts start to gain the upper hand. Sounds great?

But negative funding isn’t a free lunch. Every second the short position is held, the cost keeps climbing.

Look again at the price: 0.2212—not high.

Low levels, negative funding, and OI is still increasing. This isn’t a comfortable spot for shorts. It’s a spot where shorts get clamped from the other side.

Attention is on it—positions are in place—and the rate has flipped.

The real danger isn’t the direction. It’s not knowing what you’re paying.

Short covering might not come. But the cost of holding shorts is already on its way.

Risk warning: In a negative funding rate environment, even if the direction is right, you can still get worn down by holding costs—calculate leverage first.
