#美联储恢复降息进程 BTC Will this wave reverse? The funding rate has already provided the answer.



Recently, I have observed a very interesting phenomenon: the Bitcoin funding rate has turned negative. Normally, this means that short sellers have to pay a premium to long holders, which usually occurs during times of market sentiment collapse. However, looking back at historical trends, you will find that this situation is often not a precursor to a crash, but rather more like a signal for a phase of bottoming out.

The contradiction arises – short sellers have placed a massive amount of stop-loss orders above 92K, 94K, and even 98K. At the same time, accumulation address data shows that demand surged to an all-time high of 365,000 BTC on November 23, an increase of more than 40% compared to 254,000 at the beginning of the month. In translation, this means: speculators are frantically shorting, while long-term capital is quietly hoarding.

I checked the liquidation heat map, and the atmosphere is more intense. There are over $8.4 billion in short liquidation ammunition piled up around 98K, while there is only a $2.6 billion long defense line below at 80K. What does this mean? Every time the price rises by a thousand dollars, it could trigger a chain reaction of liquidations.

The rebound momentum is still there, but whether it can hold above 93K is a watershed moment. This level is both a previous support and resistance point, and it determines whether this rebound is fleeting or a trend reversal. That said, the overall sentiment is still quite weak. If it breaks below the 86700 defense line, it is highly likely to test the 80K mark again.

In the next few days, keep a close watch on the funding rate game in the 94K-96K range, as this price level is the true core of the battlefield. The pace of changes will be rapid, so everyone should manage their positions well.

Turning the rate negative may not necessarily be a bad thing; history has shown that. The key is to look at the true intentions of the big funds. Long term is holding, short-term is dumping; I've seen this play too many times. That line at 93K must be defended, or there won't be much to say.

The funding rate turning negative seems unfavourable, but it often signals the bottom; history tends to repeat itself. We need to keep a close eye on the 94K-96K range; that's where the real battlefield is. Wait, long term funds are quietly stockpiling? Then I need to think about my position. 840 million in short positions is piled up above 98K, that's a bit stimulating... a thousand dollars might just trigger a chain liquidation. If 93K can't hold, we might directly test 80K; in this fragile sentiment, anything is possible.

When the funding rate turns negative, it's time to stock up; smart money has already seen through it. --- There are so many bombs over at 98K, waiting to be cleared. --- Long positions are stacking while short-term positions are being smashed; this play is the same every round, just see who can't hold on first. --- If 93K can't break, it feels like we'll still test 80K; it's a bit risky to get in now. --- The 8.4 billion buried by short positions at 98K will eventually have to be handed over to long positions. --- By the way, when the funding rate turns negative, it actually signals a bottom; I buy into this logic. --- The market between 94 and 96 is the real core; next, let's see how this plays out. --- The number of addresses holding stock has surged to 365K, indicating that Large Investors are very clear about it. --- If it holds above 93, it will reverse; if it drops below, it will test 80; it's just that simple and brutal logic. --- Speculative positions are crazily shorting while long-term positions quietly stock up; next year, this batch of people will be crying very loudly.

Is a negative funding rate really a bottom signal? It feels like it's not that simple yet. With so many short positions ready for liquidation, a slight pump can cause an explosion; whether this trade is worth it depends on one's guts. 93K is the watershed; if it breaks, it's heading straight for 80K. I'm betting on this fall. Long term is accumulating, short-term is shorting; what does this indicate? The market is still in a tug-of-war. The funding battle around 94-96K is about to start; I've already halved my position, it's too exciting.

The situation of rates turning negative, I've seen a few times before, usually it's a signal for large investors to accumulate. With 8.4 billion in short positions liquidated above 98K, if it breaks through all at once, there will be a chain reaction of getting liquidated, just thinking about it is thrilling. However, to be honest, if 93K cannot hold, we still need to be cautious; a fragile rebound is risky. Wait, with so many stop loss orders buried by short positions at high levels, isn't this creating reasons for long positions to pump? The defense line at 80K only has 2.6 billion, this moat is too thin, if it really falls, it would be terrifying.

The funding rate turning negative sounds scary, but the long positions have been lying in ambush well. The long term is hoarding while the short term is shorting, which is a typical face-slapping situation.

I've noticed the issue of rates turning negative for a long time, but to be honest, what can this data really indicate... With so many short positions being liquidated, it feels like we're just waiting for the fuse to be lit.

The funding rate turning negative is something I've seen before, but it always manages to confuse people. With so many stop loss orders for short positions and long term hoarding going on crazily... this is a typical double kill situation. The 93K position is really critical, how will it move up from here?
