$RLC The funding rate fell to -0.275%
Don't get carried away—understand funding rates before you act.
Perpetual contracts have no expiration date. Funding rates help keep contract prices close to spot prices: traders on the long and short sides periodically pay each other a fee.
A sharply positive rate is often interpreted as overheated bullish sentiment, with more traders using leverage to go long; a deeply negative rate suggests the opposite.
It’s more reliable to look for confirmation across multiple data points than to rely on just one, but even more indicators can’t give you a definitive answer.
Don’t take this as investment advice.
