$BTC, $ETH and $SOL: after a reported $3B+ liquidation wipeout, the useful question is whether leverage has reset—not whether the latest candle is green.
Funding is the periodic payment between perpetual-futures traders: positive funding means longs are paying shorts; negative means shorts are paying longs. Current rates are positive at 0.0067% for BTC, 0.0053% for ETH and 0.0095% for SOL, while sentiment is still Greed at 74. That suggests long positioning may be rebuilding, but funding alone cannot show how crowded it is.
Pair it with open interest (OI), the value of outstanding futures contracts. A sharp OI drop during a price flush can signal positions were cleared; rising OI with positive funding afterward can mean leverage is returning. Treat that as context, not a signal to chase.
BTC is $84,766.65. Watch the $84,200–$85,000 zone: a hold with contained OI growth may favor stabilization; rejection with OI rebuilding raises squeeze risk. Keep size modest and define invalidation before entry.
