$MINA 24 hours drop -16%。

Price isn’t the point. Three numbers are telling another story:

Funding rate -0.31%/8h: This is one of the most extreme negative funding rates in the current snapshot. Shorts are paying longs 0.31% per day, which suggests the bears are barely holding on while the “smart money” is collecting rent.

OI 24h +16%: Positions were added during the decline—some are buying the dip, and others are getting trapped.

Long/Short ratio 0.81, 24 hours ago 0.73: Retail sentiment shifted from slightly long to a bit more short in a very fast turn.

This combo isn’t necessarily a “bottom is in” signal, but the fact that shorts are paying rent tells you something by itself: they’re exhausted.

I won’t guess the trend direction. I only look at who’s paying and who’s collecting.

Do you think the negative funding rate will keep holding—will the shorts cave first, or will the longs run first?
