$BMNR 24 hours down 7.134%, quoted at $23.3. Yet the funding rate remains above 0.00018, and the open interest is 659,000 contracts. This combination of price falling and the fee staying positive is, under the funding-rate logic, a situation where longs are paying shorts—an典型 signal of being trapped with additional accumulation.
With prices trending lower while the funding rate has not flipped negative, it means the bullish side hasn’t conceded yet; they’re using funding fees to force their way through. Since open interest has not dropped sharply, it also confirms that long positions haven’t been unwound. Under this structure, longs’ average entry cost is gradually being pushed higher, and the liquidation wall is getting closer.
The strongest counterargument from the other side is: it could just be a temporary shakeout. Once buy orders step in and the funding rate flips negative, it could trigger a short squeeze. But with no news catalyst at the moment, this probability is relatively low.
Next, if the price continues to drift downward, the ones who’ll be forced to stop out will likely be the longs, and liquidity could tilt toward the shorts. I’m not touching it now. If the funding rate turns negative and the price holds below 23, I would take a small position to short. Conversely, if the funding rate suddenly jumps or the price quickly reclaims above 24, then this thesis is invalid.
