💡 TradFi Educational Brief | Funding Rate Practical Interpretation
Funding rate = the periodic fee paid between the long and short sides in perpetual futures
Rules:
Rate > 0 → longs pay shorts (bullish sentiment)
Rate < 0 → shorts pay longs (bearish sentiment)
Rate = 0 → long/short equilibrium, no additional holding cost
Key takeaways:
The higher the funding rate → the higher the cost of holding long positions, which gradually erodes them
Funding rate keeps rising → signals crowded longs; watch out for a reversal
Funding rate is close to 0 → the best time to go long with the trend
