$ALT funding rates turn negative—who’s quietly adding to their position?
The price is up 2.9%, so why have funding rates turned negative?
Volume is only $13.9M, so how did OI manage to climb 8.8%?
Nobody on the market floor has a definitive answer to either question.
Look at the trajectory: 3.1M → 3.0M → 3.1M → 3.3M.
It backed off briefly, then pushed higher. This isn’t a slow decline on thin volume—some people are putting real money in even as the price falls.
Funding rates dropped from +0.0023% to -0.0006%.
In plain English: bears are starting to gain the upper hand. But holding short positions is getting more expensive, and costs have already started to turn upward.
When negative funding rates show up near the lows, the biggest risk isn’t another drop—it’s the shorts getting squeezed first.
The catalyst? 10 related stories are circulating—AltLayer (ALT), AWE Network (AWE) - Awesome Talk #2 - 02 Dec.
Intense media attention doesn’t mean the direction is settled.
Market cap: $64.2M. Spot trading pairs are still open. Both bulls and bears are still in the market; neither side has won.
Don’t treat negative funding rates as a shield—the people stubbornly holding their positions always give up before the market does.
