💸🧠 My biggest early losses came from trading with the herd. Now, I watch Funding Rates and the Long/Short Ratio like a hawk. When funding is consistently positive, say, above +0.01% on BTC or ETH, it means longs are paying shorts for the privilege of being long. This signals extreme bullishness and often precedes pullbacks – I learned this after getting liquidated buying into pumps.
Pair that with the Long/Short Ratio. If it's heavily skewed, like 68% of traders are long on ETH, it's a massive red flag. When I see funding rates >+0.01% AND the L/S ratio is >65% on a major coin, that's my cue to trim my longs or even consider a small contrarian short. The market loves to punish consensus. Don't be the liquidity!
