Funding rates are telling two different stories right now.
$BTC funding sits at +0.0096% per 8 hours, so longs are paying shorts, a mild bullish lean. $ETH funding is slightly negative, which means shorts are paying to stay in (TradingGain). Meanwhile BTC open interest slipped 0.69% in 24 hours, so fewer fresh bets are coming in.
My take: BTC traders look cautiously optimistic while ETH positioning is more defensive, with Fear & Greed still at 37.
Are you reading ETH's negative funding as a contrarian signal or a warning? Tell me why.
Not financial advice.
