From a capital-flow perspective, the current market is showing a subtle divergence. At the macro level, Nvidia has been accused of creating an artificial graphics-card shortage by funding AI startups to buy cards. Although this remains a rumor, it reflects how closely computing-power assets remain tied to the AI narrative. Meanwhile, business representatives from China and the United States have proposed strengthening Asia-Pacific supply-chain cooperation. U.S. companies made up around 20% of the foreign economies represented at the event, suggesting that trans-Pacific economic and trade relations are seeking a new equilibrium. This could potentially support expectations for macro liquidity in risk assets.
Turning to on-chain and derivatives data, the signals from capital flows are worth examining. $BTC has a positive funding rate of 0.0047%, a long-to-short account ratio as high as 3.54, and a taker buy/sell ratio of 1.23. This shows that bullish sentiment is dominant, though momentum appears to be weakening. The picture for $ETH is similar: its funding rate is slightly negative at -0.0054%, but despite the bearish turn in the rate, long accounts still make up 3.84 times the number of short accounts, and buyers’ taker activity (1.25) is slightly stronger than sellers’. Among large-cap coins, $SOL ’s funding rate has fallen into negative territory at -0.0140%, giving shorts the advantage on funding rates. However, the number of long accounts is still 4.27 times that of short accounts, and the taker buy ratio is as high as 1.43. This kind of structure—bearish funding rates but bullish positioning—often points to potential squeeze risk or near-term correction pressure. BNB data is relatively calm, with its funding rate near zero.
Notably, the total stablecoin market capitalization remains elevated at $287.75 billion and was broadly unchanged over the past 24 hours. This suggests that the market’s sidelines cash pool has neither seen a major inflow nor a large-scale withdrawal, leaving the market in a zero-sum trading environment. Taken together with the Nvidia supply rumor and the China-U.S. supply-chain proposal, the market is not yet in a phase where a one-way trend has been established; rather, news and capital flows are pulling against each other. Long positions are crowded in the derivatives market, but funding rates have not strengthened in tandem, suggesting caution when chasing prices higher. Against the backdrop of rising expectations for China-U.S. supply-chain cooperation, do you think $BTC and $ETH will respond, or will they continue to trade within the current rangebound market?
