๐ $CT latest funding rate: -0.103% (settled every 4 hours); shorts pay.
Funding rates usually quickly reflect which way the market is leaning.
When the funding rate is positive, longs pay shorts; when it's negative, the opposite is true: shorts pay longs.
The rate only reflects supply-and-demand imbalances in the futures market; it doesn't indicate spot buying pressure.
Sizing your position based on where you place your stop-loss is much more reliable than guessing.
