$Q ｜Funding rate -0.255%｜Shorts pay
Before looking at capital flows, first understand the funding rate.
When the funding rate is positive, those holding long positions pay those holding short positions; when it is negative, the opposite is true: those holding short positions pay those holding long positions.
A significantly positive rate is generally seen as a sign of overheated bullish sentiment and an abundance of leveraged long positions; a clearly negative rate suggests the opposite.
All indicators describe market movements that have already occurred. Prices can move in the opposite direction at any time.
