The funding rate has plunged to -0.0073%, and shorts are packed in like a subway at rush hour. CryptoQuant says rate-hike expectations are weighing on the market and sentiment has turned bearish—but when the whole market is leaning one way, that’s often the fuse for a short squeeze. Open interest hasn’t collapsed, and funding rates keep getting more negative. I’m betting on a short-squeeze scenario.
