What Are Funding Rates and Why Do They Matter?
What is a funding rate?
Funding rates are periodic payments between long and short traders in perpetual futures markets. When rate is positive, longs pay shorts — indicating the market is bullish and overextended. When negative, shorts pay longs — indicating bearish sentiment.
How do rates signal manipulation?
Extreme positive rates (above 0.1%) often precede long squeezes — institutional players push the price down to liquidate over-leveraged longs. Extreme negative rates signal potential short squeezes. Watch for these conditions alongside elevated Trap Scores for high-conviction setups.
How often are rates settled?
Most perpetual contracts settle funding every 8 hours (3× per day). The "Next Funding" column shows the time until the next settlement. Traders holding positions through funding pay or receive the rate multiplied by their position size.
