ZIL shorts are starting to feel the funding bite

I just scanned Binance Futures, and something’s off with this coin.

Price is at 0.003592 USDT, up +3.0% over 24h. It’s moving higher.
But the funding rate fell from -0.0073% to -0.0096%, turning even more negative.

What does that mean? Shorts have the upper hand, but the cost of holding a short is rising. If you’re short, you’re paying to stay in the trade.

Open interest is up +8.1%. The trend: 3.4M > 3.4M > 3.4M > 3.7M. When the price couldn’t fall, nobody moved. As it rose, traders added positions with real money.

On one side, the price is rising; on the other, shorts are still adding. 24h trading volume is $6.6M, market cap is $75.7M, and there’s also a spot pair.

There’s only one conclusion: this isn’t a low-volume slide. Someone is paying the cost to bet on a direction.

Don’t stubbornly hold on to your short. Keep an eye on your holding costs and leverage.

Risk warning: A negative funding rate doesn’t mean the price will reverse. Short covering is possible, not guaranteed.
