Perpetuals market watch: two reminders and one reference
Whether to take this trade—the funding rate is more honest than the candlestick chart.
Check how crowded positioning is first, then look at price.
BTC open interest notional: $6.92 billion, 24h -4.45%
Account-wide long/short ratio: 3.32
BTC 68,776 (-6.49%), ETH 1,935 (-5.53%).
The funding rate is 0.0012%, close to zero; the long/short ratio is 3.32. Leverage hasn’t picked a side. If it hasn’t picked a side, don’t use high leverage to pick one for it.
Key levels: upside 69,326, downside 67,538. Keep one-sided exposure below 2x account equity. Place stop-losses beyond the market structure, not at round numbers that just feel right.
Open interest is already down 4.45% over 24h. Only if it falls further while price holds above the 24h low can we say the shakeout is over—not yet.
Data: Binance spot 24h / Binance USDⓈ-M / Yahoo daily (5-day change) / altme_fng / mempool_fees / defillama_chains / coingecko_trending. Missing figures are not filled in.

Food for thought: Fear & Greed <25: sentiment is cold, but that doesn’t confirm a bottom.
