CSCO is up 4% in 24 hours, with the funding rate hanging at zero. The rally isn’t small, but since the longs didn’t actually pay, it suggests the move isn’t being driven by an overheated chasing position. In terms of microstructure, this is a relatively clean rise, with no pressure from accumulating financing costs. If the position size also expands moderately at the same time, the sustainability of this zero-funding-rate rally would be even better. Single-signal read: a declining zero funding rate reduces the risk of long-side squeeze/forced unwinds. The counterpoint is that if the holdings are highly aligned in one direction and too heavy, the subsequent pullback could be sharp. Trigger condition: if the funding rate turns positive and exceeds 0.01%, I will reduce my position.
