What is negative funding and why is it a trading signal?
The funding rate is the mechanism by which the price of a perpetual futures contract is tied to the spot price. When the market is oversupplied with shorts, long positions receive payments from shorts every eight hours. Sustained negative funding (below -0.03% over a period) indicates a critically high number of bears in the market.
The key phenomenon: the longer negative funding persists, the more expensive it becomes to hold a short position. Leveraged traders are forced to either close their positions voluntarily or face forced liquidation at the slightest upward price movement. This creates the potential for a quick short squeeze—a cascading short-covering that accelerates the price rise.
This preset displays coins sorted by the amount of negative funding. Additionally, look at the OI column: if Open Interest rises while funding declines, new short sellers are entering the market, increasing the squeeze potential.
