Find out how FUNDING can improve your trading strategy!

What is the FUNDING Indicator?

FUNDING Indicator analyzes funding rates — the periodic payments between long and short position holders in the futures market. High positive rates indicate bullish sentiment, while negative rates indicate bearish sentiment. The indicator visualizes this data in real time, helping traders understand the market dynamics.

The main features of the indicator:

  • Rate Tracking: Shows current funding rates as a green line.
  • Threshold Lines: Upper, middle, and lower lines (0.009, 0, -0.009) for assessing extreme values.
  • Flexible data: Analysis by individual assets or totals, e.g. "TOTAL 2 WITHOUT BTC ETH".
  • Simple visualization: Intuitive interface for quick analysis.

Why is FUNDING unique?

Most indicators like RSI or MACD analyze prices, but FUNDING focuses on funding rates , which reflect the sentiment of futures market participants. This makes it a valuable tool for predicting volatility. Here are the key benefits:

1. Market Sentiment Analysis

High positive funding rates can signal overbought conditions, while negative rates can signal oversold conditions. For example, a 0.01% rate on Bitcoin could herald a correction due to an excess of long positions.

2. Macro Analysis

The totals function (e.g. "TOTAL 6 TOP 50 WITHOUT TOP 10") allows you to analyze the market without the influence of large assets such as Bitcoin or Ethereum, which is ideal for studying altcoins.

3. Ease of Use

The indicator displays data as a single line with threshold levels, making it accessible even for beginners. Customize the parameters to focus on the desired assets or the overall market.

4. Futures Trading Support

FUNDING is designed specifically for futures market analysis , where financing rates play a key role in price dynamics.

How to Use FUNDING in Trading?

The indicator is suitable for various strategies in cryptocurrency trading :

  • Scalping: Extreme rates (above 0.009 or below -0.009) signal possible short-term reversals.
  • Swing Trading: Rate analysis helps identify entry points based on market sentiment.
  • Macro Analysis: Totals provide an overall picture of the sentiment in the altcoin market.
  • Volatility Forecast: High rates predict stronger price moves.

Imagine you are trading Ethereum and FUNDING shows the funding rate at 0.012%. This is a signal of a possible correction. You reduce your long position and avoid losses when the price drops by 2%.
