🔥 The irony? For 66 straight days, short sellers paid a 12% annualized carry, and now Bitcoin nudged past $81,000, flashing a smile at the very wallets that bet against it.
📊 At $81,318 (+0.78% 24 h), Bitcoin’s price perched near the upper Bollinger Band while the MACD crossed bullish, and open interest steadies at $7.79 B, signaling deep conviction. Yet funding turned positive at +0.0100%, meaning longs are now paying shorts, and with a long‑short ratio of 1.99, 66% of traders are on the upside – a silent shift that #BTC #Funding #Institutional players can’t ignore.
💡 The twist? The same funding that once punished longs is now a silent alarm that institutional hedges are loading up, turning the market’s fear into a hidden demand engine.
❓ Will the next funding flip unleash a wave of fresh long capital, or will shorts finally find a foothold before the rally stalls?
