$ARPA up 8.8%, but shorts keep adding
It went up 8.8%, yet the funding rate is negative. Who is squeezing in against the upward trend?
ARPA current price 0.009874 USDT, 24h +8.8%, trading volume $8.8M, market cap $20.2M, and the spot pair is still there.
At the same time: funding rate slid from -0.0172% to -0.0209%, and the tick favoring shorts moved down another notch.
OI +9.6%: 1.9M > 2.0M > 2.0M > 2.1M. It’s not a silent, low-volume drift downward—when the price is rising, real money is still piling in.
Three things side by side: price is up, funding is negative, and positions are expanding.
The situation for holders of short positions is getting awkward—price hasn’t dropped, but the funding rate keeps deducting your money one bite at a time. As it chops sideways for an hour, your cost basis is raised for an hour.
Don’t panic, and don’t rush. Wait for confirmation. Check your leverage first, then your cost line.
Low-level depth plus negative funding makes it easy to trigger short covering; easy—not guaranteed.
Risk warning: with a small market cap, adding high leverage means the first thing pinched is your position—not your direction.
