Bitcoin BTC funding rates have flipped negative! This is a signal that has preceded every major relief rally of the last 3 years.
Market sentiment is currently at a "peak fear" reset. History shows that when the crowd pays to short, the local bottom is usually in. We’ve seen this script play out with surgical precision:
• Dec 2022: from $17,800 to $24.8k (+39%)
• Mar 2023: from $20,000 to $30,700 (+53%)
• Aug 2023: from $26,400 to $73,000 (+176%)
• Sept 2024: from $58,000 to $104,500 (+80%)
• Apr 2025: from $94,700 to $111,600 (+18%)
• June 2025: from $107,000 to $124,700 (+17%)
Right now, with Bitcoin trading near $71,000, the funding rate has reset to -0.004%.
While the retail crowd is hedging for further downside, the smart money is watching for the inevitable short squeeze.
If history maintains its 100% strike rate on this indicator, the current "dip" is the coiled spring for the next leg up.(Ali Charts)
