$GTC short, you’re paying interest on the other side

-0.2114%.

This is GTC’s funding rate right now. 24 hours ago, it was still +0.0100%. From collecting to paying out, only one trading day passed.

Price 0.12268, down -10.6%, shorts didn’t close.
OI +50.3%, 2.9M → 5.1M → 5.1M → 4.3M—when it was falling, people still added real money, not a low-volume, drifting sell-off.

Trading volume $160.8M, market cap $12.4M. Turnover is glaringly high, yet the direction never really gets decided.

When the funding rate turns negative, to put it plainly: shorts are starting to have the upper hand, but having the upper hand means you have to pay—shorts’ holding costs are rising.

What’s strange here: the price is lying low, but the funding rate is pushed this deeply negative. This isn’t “shorts got stable”—it’s fuel for a cover that’s being stacked bit by bit. Newsflow is still stirring—Binance will remove leveraged trading pairs such as BAND/BTC, and 10 related news items are keeping attention moving.

Don’t chase. Don’t stubbornly hold. First calculate your position cost and leverage; only after confirmation, then act.

Risk warning: a negative funding rate doesn’t equal a market reversal, but leverage never gives you time to regret.
