What is a funding rate and how to read it?
Funding rate — is a periodic payment between longs and shorts on perpetual futures. The exchange uses it to keep the perp price close to the spot price. If the perp price is above the spot, longs pay shorts (positive funding). If it is below, shorts pay longs (negative funding). Settlement is usually every 8 hours, but on some pairs Binance And Bybit - every 4 or 1 hour.
Payment amount = position size × current funding rate. At a rate of +0.01% / 8h and a $100K position, the long trade pays out $10 every 8 hours—a mere trifle. But at extreme values of +0.2% / 8h, that's $200 every 8 hours, or ~$600 per day. A year would be $220K with the same position. Therefore, extreme funding isn't just a figure, but the real cost of holding the position, which eats away at profits.
In November 2024 on Bitcoin-rally to $99K funding rate on BTCUSDT reached 0.08–0.12% in 8 hours (APR 110–160%). After 2 weeks, a correction to $88K. April 2021: funding 0.15–0.18% on BTC → drop from $64K to $30K in a couple of months. February 2025 SOL Fund was 0.3–0.5% at $260 → a pullback to $130 in three weeks. When funding "leaves," the market is overloaded on one side and seeks a countermovement.
How to use the table above
Extreme overheating of longs
Longs pay shorts so much that holding becomes unprofitable even without price movement. Historically, this zone often precedes cascading long liquidations. This doesn't mean "short immediately"—it's a signal to "be careful with longs, consider partial take-out."
Overheating in shorts
Shorts dominate and pay longs. Often seen at local bottoms or during panic. A contrarian bullish signal—especially if it coincides with a rally. OI (new longs are entering) and low fear & greed index.
Increased funding
The market is warming up. Percentage per annum: 55–110%. If there's no extreme yet, you can hold a long position, but tighten your stops. A good time to narrow your position is if it's in the green.
Normal range
Balanced market. The base rate for most exchanges is 0.01% / 8h (~11% per annum). Not a signal per se, but a backdrop for analyzing other indicators.
