$BERA ｜Funding rate -0.1%｜Shorts pay
Before looking at positions, understand the rate first.
Funding is paid between longs and shorts; it isn’t a fee charged by the exchange.
The rate usually returns to normal either through a price correction or by traders on the crowded side exiting. Which one happens depends on how open interest changes next.
Understanding an indicator helps you avoid being spooked by a single number; it’s not a way to pinpoint tops and bottoms.
