$ESPORTS ｜Funding rate +0.0531%｜Longs pay
Before looking at fund flows, understand the funding rate.
You can think of the funding rate as rent for holding a position: whichever side pushes the contract price away from the spot price is often the side that pays.
Many people pay more attention to how long the rate stays elevated: remaining at an extreme level for several consecutive periods is more noteworthy than a single spike.
All indicators merely describe market movements that have already happened. The market can turn in the opposite direction at any time.
