Technical Note | $AIN | Funding Rate +0.101% | Longs Pay
Definition: When the funding rate is positive, traders holding long positions pay those holding short positions; when it is negative, the direction is reversed, and traders holding short positions pay those holding long positions.
How to interpret it: Some people also view extreme funding rates as a contrarian signal, but there have also been cases where prices continued moving in one direction after funding rates became elevated.
The same data can mean very different things in different market conditions, so don’t apply a single rule blindly.
