The funding rate for $BTC is not available in our data today. This means I cannot gauge how crowded long or short positions are in perpetual futures contracts for $BTC .

Funding rates are a payment exchanged between long and short traders. A positive funding rate means long positions pay short positions. This suggests a bullish bias where traders are willing to pay to maintain their longs. Consistently high positive rates can signal a crowded long trade.

Conversely, a negative funding rate means short positions pay long positions, indicating a bearish market sentiment.

Without the $BTC funding rate, I remain neutral on crowd sentiment. I will watch for this data to become available to get a clearer picture.
