Funding Rates Stability Amid BTC and ETH Price Surges

Coinglass data shows funding rates are neutral, hovering around 0.01%, suggesting no dominant market trend. This neutrality is reflected across BTC, ETH, and major altcoins, with rates maintaining market balance between longs and shorts.

The neutral funding positions impact pricing trends, as BTC exceeds $119,000 and ETH surpasses $3,000. Despite these price movements, $237 million in liquidations occurred, indicating active market realignment.

CZ, CEO, Binance, – “The market’s current neutrality is like watching the calm before a potential storm, setting the stage for movements that could catch many off-guard.”

Neutral Funding Precedes Potential Volatility, Historical Insights

Did you know? Prior periods of neutral funding rates frequently lead to volatility spikes, as shifts in sentiment coupled with increased leverage initiate significant market movements.

Bitcoin (BTC) is priced at $122,355.75, holding a market cap of $2.43 trillion and commanding 63.76% market dominance. Trading volume within the last 24 hours showed an increase of 42.70%, with the price rising by 3.80%. These insights, provided by CoinMarketCap, reflect its robust market position.

The Coincu research team anticipates that neutral funding regimes could precede volatility spurts once market sentiment shifts. This expectation relies on observed historical patterns, where neutrality transitioned into volatility due to leverage and emotional extremes.
