$WLD: funding at −0.0381% with a weekly loss of −14.19% — who’s catching up to whom?

Negative funding during a down week points to a bias toward shorts, but weak volume gives that bias little support. The 24-hour change is −6.66% versus +0.25% over 15 minutes — there is a rebound, but 15-minute volume is only 0.55 of normal, so there’s no confirmation.

Observation range · 5 h
Above 0.289200: A hold above the upper boundary of the local range on healthy volume would call the crowded-shorts thesis into question.
Below 0.278500: A return to the lower boundary without an increase in volume would leave negative funding without price confirmation.
Historical levels; a single wick does not confirm the scenario.

If funding stays negative and volume still doesn’t return, whose bias is it really?
