$ZEC is up 11%, so why has the funding rate turned negative?
It’s up 11.4%—so how did the rate turn negative?
1215.27 USDT. Up 11.4% in 24h, with $1938.3M in trading volume and a $20.65B market cap. Money is moving, but there’s no consensus on direction.
Bulls think they’ve won. The price is rising, with spot trading pairs providing support.
Bears think they’ve won, too. The rate slipped from -0.0002% to -0.0003%, giving shorts the upper hand.
But both sides are putting more money on the table. OI is up 8.1%, following this path: 518.0M > 503.9M > 548.2M > 560.2M. First they pulled back, then piled in again. This isn’t a low-volume slide or a low-volume pump—real money is betting on both sides. It’s like two groups squeezing through the same doorway, neither willing to give way.
The shorts’ bill is getting bigger—the rate has turned negative, and the cost of holding short positions is starting to rise.
The risk for longs is a reversal from these lows—the more negative the rate gets, the more likely short covering is to prove them wrong.
$1938.3M in trading volume isn’t a direction—it’s ammunition.
The funding rate changes every hour. Positions that can’t hold out may not last long enough to see it turn around.
