$BTC OI-weighted funding update
Current readings across Binance, OKX, Bybit, Bitget, LBank sit around 0.003%–0.01% — positive, but far below the 0.015%–0.02% zone funding hit during the prior rally leg (same chart, Jul–Oct window last cycle).
Price has recovered substantially from the ~$52K–$60K region toward $80K, without a matching expansion in funding. That gap between price recovery and leverage buildup is the part worth tracking.
If funding starts accelerating toward prior highs as price extends, that's when crowded-long risk starts to build. Right now, positioning looks comparatively balanced.
Environments like this - moderate funding, uncertain follow-through - are exactly why stress-testing a strategy across simulated conditions beats reacting to a single chart.
