13.0%—this is the proportion of the 725 USDT perpetual contracts on the whole network that went up today; 94 red, 631 green.
BTC is at 83,013, down 1.81% over the last 24 hours; contract trading volume is 9.108 billion. ETH is 2,645, down 2.33%. In this kind of broad sell-off, looking at the funding rate is more tangible than looking at price. BTC this period is -0.00279%, ETH -0.00181%. They’re negative but not deeply, which suggests the shorts aren’t daring to pile into a heavy position. It feels more like longs are letting go rather than someone truly adding to shorts.
What’s strange is the local picture: the most crowded US funding rate is +0.06401%, yet over the last 24 hours it’s fallen 14.65%, paying interest while getting beaten; meanwhile the most crowded SAMSUNG funding rate is -0.23261%, and we still don’t see it crash out. On one side, the funding rate is still paying; on the other, price doesn’t buy it. Leverage is fighting with itself.
What you see is funding moving in, or is it just leverage?
