⚠️ Funding rate matters!
Let's talk about $FUN , jumping +40% in the last 24h! But before you FOMO in… 🛑
🔍 Let’s quickly break down something important: the Funding Rate
If you're trading FUN on perpetual futures, pay close attention to this mechanism! 💡
🧠 The funding rate is a balance mechanism between longs and shorts:
🔺 Positive funding → Longs pay Shorts
🔻 Negative funding → Shorts pay Longs
In FUN’s case, this rate is paid every hour, and it fluctuates constantly depending on:
📊 Supply/Demand imbalance
🔄 Futures price vs. Spot price
🌪️ Volatility & liquidity of the token
💣 Currently, the funding rate is around 1% PER HOUR
So, if you're trading short with $100 at 10× leverage (i.e., $1,000 exposure),
➡️ You could be paying $10/hour in funding fees!
📌 Trade long or short — that’s up to you
But keep this in mind: if you stay in position for hours,
⚠️ Funding fees might eat up all your profit,
or worse — increase your losses if the trade goes wrong.
🎯 Stay sharp, trade smart — and good luck out there! 💪💰
