๐ฎ Bitcoin saw an enormous jump to ~$90,087 on @coinbase 2 hours ago before quickly sliding back to its current ~$86,580 market value. Bitcoinโs rising positive funding rates on exchanges signals more leveraged long positions, which historically has led to sharp liquidations and higher volatility, including recent tops and pullbacks.
๐ Ethereum contrasts this trend, with shorts outweighing longs for now, suggesting weaker bullish conviction and less risk dynamics than BTC. But all assets will still move with Bitcoin, meaning Bitcoin's funding rates must stay neutral or go negative in order to justify a clear path back to $100K and for altcoins to rebound.
