Brothers! Today I'm going to tell a bloody truth—
Why are you always being harvested by big players? Because you don't understand 'funding rate' which is the wealth code!
First, let's look at a shocking set of data:
In the first half of 2025, BTC perpetual contract liquidation exceeded $21.8 billion, with 72% of disasters occurring during extreme funding rate values!
Funding rate is the true compass of the cryptocurrency world!
1️⃣ Bullish signal: When the rate > 0.03% (annualized 11%), bulls start to harvest!
Just like before BTC surged to $60,000 in March 2024, the rate spiked to 0.08%, then plummeted by 30%
2️⃣ Bottom signal: Rate <-0.05% (annualized -18%), shorts are about to flip!
When ETH dropped to $1200 in 2022, the rate was -0.12% and then rebounded directly by 50%
3️⃣ Death Spiral: Rate continuously > 0.05% + position volume surging = countdown to massacre!
In February 2025, during the Trump tariff event, BTC rate surged to 0.12%, with a single-day liquidation of $1.88 billion
Three moves to understand funding rates
✅ Arbitrage Killing Technique:
When BTC rate > 0.02%, buy spot + sell contracts, lying down to earn an annualized 10%+ (real test annualized 15.98%)
Note: Transaction fee must be <0.16%, otherwise it’s all in vain!
Ultimate technique for bottom fishing:
ETH rate <-0.05% + KDJ bottom divergence = close your eyes and bottom fish!
Bottom fishing when the rate was -0.07% in April 2025, earning 30% in a week
Godly operation to escape the peak:
BTC rate > 0.04% for 3 consecutive times? Run quickly!
In the peak of the bull market in 2021, the rate was 0.3%, then plummeted by 50%
Retail Investor Pitfall Guide
Don’t believe 'low rate = safe'!
SOL rate -0.09% in January 2025, resulting in a halving
Don't touch 'inverted rate' altcoins!
DOGE rate is 0.001% yet plummeted by 90%, a tool for the big players to harvest profits
Current Market Warning
Data on August 7, 2025:
BTC rate 0.012% (annualized 4.38%) → Beware of long traps!
ETH rate -0.008% (annualized -2.92%) → Critical point for short squeeze!
Tomorrow's operation strategy
1. Bitcoin pressure level at 116,000, rate > 0.015% go short directly!
2. Below $3500 for Ethereum, rate <-0.005% for bottom fishing!
3. Altcoin rate > 0.02%? Stay away!
Ultimate Phrase for Funding Rate
Rates soaring lead to death by chasing highs, rates plummeting lead to madness in bottom fishing
Observe the funding rates in long-short battles, so retail investors won’t fall into traps!
