I just went through the funding rates across the whole market. Interestingly, short-side funding rates are already dominating. Major coins like BTC, DOGE, and XRP are all at the capped +0.01% funding rate. OP is negative at -0.0026%. This kind of extreme divergence isn’t very common in today’s market. The Fear & Greed Index is 27—market fear is still present—but funding rates are generally high, which suggests retail traders are desperately shorting. At times like this, you should be extra careful.
First, let’s talk about the overall market. BTC funding rate is +0.008%—not extremely extreme, but combined with the Fear & Greed Index at 27, there may be a need for a short-term rebound. However, trading volume hasn’t picked up yet, so don’t rush to chase longs—wait for confirmation.
Now, the two coins I like most.
First is LINK. Funding rate is +0.01% at the cap, indicating long sentiment is building up. Daily trading volume has consistently stayed around $400M–$600M, liquidity is sufficient, and the futures order book depth is good enough. Right now LINK is ranging in the 14.8–15.2 area. Support is around 14.5, which is a previous zone of heavy trading; it shouldn’t break. My plan is to go long around 15.0, with a stop loss at 14.3. If it breaks down, I’ll admit I’m wrong and exit. My first target is 16.2—near the vicinity of prior highs and resistance. When it gets there, I’ll reduce half the position. The second target is more aggressive: 17.5, which is a weekly-level trendline resistance area. Calculated, the risk-reward ratio is roughly 1:2.5, which is still quite reasonable. Leverage recommendation: 10x—don’t go too high, since the market sentiment hasn’t fully flipped to bullish yet.
Second is SUI. This coin has been hot lately, and its funding rate is also +0.01%. SUI’s current daily trading volume is about $300M–$400M; although it’s not at LINK’s level, it’s still plenty for futures trading. SUI is currently in a post-breakout pullback phase. The 4.2–4.3 zone is strong support. As long as it doesn’t break 4.1, the long thesis remains intact. My plan is to enter long directly around 4.25, with a stop loss at 4.05. If it breaks below, it means the breakout failed. First target: 4.8, the acceleration zone after the prior high is reclaimed. Second target: 5.2. That level is a “chip vacuum” area—once price reaches it, there could be an acceleration move. The risk-reward is close to 1:2.8. The entry at this level offers better value than LINK. Leverage: 12x. The trend is relatively clearer, so a slightly higher leverage is justified.
For the altcoins, DOGE and AVAX funding rates are also at +0.01%. But their daily trading volumes fluctuate too much. DOGE is okay, while AVAX doesn’t really keep up—futures slippage may be a bit large. I wouldn’t touch high-funding-rate coins with generally weak liquidity; you’re more likely to get wicked out.
One more reminder: even though OP’s funding rate is negative—looking like a potential long opportunity—negative funding usually means the market really lacks confidence in OP. Don’t do these “catching the falling knife” trades in an adverse move. It’s better to wait until its funding rate turns positive.
Finally, a quick summary: at this point, the value of going short is really not high. Funding rates are stacked in the long direction, and the Fear & Greed Index is still low. But remember this too: a low Fear & Greed Index doesn’t necessarily mean the bottom is immediately in. Position management matters more than direction. Stay conservative with 5–8x leverage. If you want to bet on a rebound, you can increase to 10–15x, but make sure stop losses are strictly enforced.
