Bitcoin Funding Rate reaches its highest level in 20 months
The rise in the Funding Rate for Bitcoin Perpetual futures to the highest level in about 20 months indicates a clear increase in traders’ positioning in LONG trades and the use of leverage.
However, a strong increase in Funding does not necessarily mean that the price will continue to rise.
The real risk here is overcrowding in LONG positions.
If BTC suddenly reverses, we may see a Long Squeeze followed by consecutive liquidations that quickly pressure the price.
Summary:
Sentiment is bullish, but the market has become more sensitive to any sudden drop.
A rise in Funding may be a sign of strong demand, while at the same time a warning against excessive leverage
