CURRENT FUNDING RATES SIGNAL A NEUTRAL CRYPTOCURRENCY MARKET:
BlockBeats reports that Coinglass data show funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges hovering around neutral levels, with no clear bullish bias. Funding rates—periodic payments exchanged between long and short perpetual-contract traders—help keep contract prices aligned with spot prices. A rate of 0.01% is neutral; readings above 0.01% point to bullish sentiment, while rates below 0.005% suggest bearish pressure.
