$BBX price 8.18500, 24-hour change -1.552%, fundingRate is exactly 0.00000000, and openInterest is still 113779.44. The price is slowly slipping, but the funding fee is zero—no one pays, and neither side has been forced into making a concession.

I won’t touch it. Funding being zero is the most boring state of this market: the long and short positions have symmetrical costs, and time doesn’t favor either side. The trading volume of 1993016 indicates that someone is still rotating positions, but this level of drawdown hasn’t even produced a decent stop-out.

The hardest counterargument is: when funding hits zero, it can also mean the downside momentum isn’t strong enough—shorts haven’t dared to add, and the price keeps grinding. I accept that.

With a zero fee rate, there’s no arbitrage capital incentive to come in, and volatility stays suppressed. Once the price continues to push down until longs start cutting positions, funding turns negative; that’s when shorts truly start paying, and the direction finally shows.

Trigger conditions: if the price moves back above 8.18500 and the fundingRate turns positive, I go long. If the price keeps falling and the fundingRate breaks below zero, I try a small short; the stop loss is set to move again when it regains 8.18500.
