-0.00092%—this is the funding rate for this BTC cycle.
Price is around 84,075, and over the past 24 hours it’s still up 0.15%, yet longs are paying shorts. That’s pretty unusual. ETH on the other side is +0.00668%—the two sides aren’t lining up.
BTC open interest is 7.983 billion, and in the last 24 hours it has only moved -0.02%, suggesting leveraged capital simply isn’t pushing in—just watching from the sidelines.
This kind of macro sentiment on the market transmits pretty directly: as soon as something happens on the USD side, funds first pull back. Nobody wants to hold overnight with a heavy position, so breadth looks okay—among 725 USDT perpetuals, 528 are up, or 72.8%—but the money isn’t really flowing in.
Sentiment is piling up in smaller coins instead.
Q is +65.95% in the last 24 hours, and the funding rate has been pushed to +0.08190%—the most crowded long spot across the whole market. Meanwhile, BTW is down 13.80%, but the funding rate is still +0.02241%; the trapped longs are still holding on.
The most crowded shorts are in 2Z: funding rate is -0.40514%, yet its price is actually up 17.96%. A short squeeze can bite back at any time.
Anyway, I tend to watch first and not act. In this environment, it’s not about picking a direction—it’s about who won’t get worn down.
What’s your position leaning—long or short?
