The old dog glanced at $BSP ; in the last 24 hours it’s up 8.114%, and the price is holding at 41.04, but the funding rate is -0.00097591. This number is interesting: a negative funding rate means shorts are paying longs, which usually points to shorts being crowded.
From the angle of M4_mover, this is an intraday anomaly. Price is pushing upward, yet funding is still negative. In derivatives markets, this combination is often a precursor to a short squeeze. Simply put, the shorts are still carrying their positions and still paying money. If the price doesn’t turn back, their forced liquidation would further drive the price up. Current open interest is 15754.33. Since no historical data was provided in the input, I can only say that with this open interest paired with a negative funding rate, the liquidity structure can easily amplify volatility.
My take: as long as funding stays negative, this leg up of $BSP still has momentum. The trigger is: if the price can hold above 41, I’ll consider cautiously following in. Targets would be to watch when the funding rate turns positive or when price shows a volume-backed stall. The market might think it’s risen too much and should pull back, but I look the other way—before the shorts have truly been routed, pullbacks are fuel for squeezing more shorts.
Invalidation conditions are written clearly: if the next funding update flips to positive, or if after price drops below 41 it fails to reclaim it for two consecutive hours, then this thesis is void and I’ll prepare to withdraw.
