This means the channel is using funding rate extremes as a sentiment signal: Green / bullish: funding rate below 0.005% Longs are not overcrowded Market is relatively calm or slightly short-biased They interpret that as better for upside Red / bearish: funding rate above 0.01% Too many traders are long Long positions are crowded They interpret that as higher risk of a pullback or long squeeze The basic idea: Very low funding = less long overcrowding = more bullish High funding = too many longs paying shorts = more bearish One important caveat: funding rate alone is not a guaranteed buy/sell signal. It works better when combined with: price trend open interest volume liquidation levels There is also a neutral zone between 0.005% and 0.01%, where the signal is weaker. If you want, I can turn this into a cleaner trading rule set or a one-line formula for alerts. $BTC #AltcoinSeasonTalkTwoYearLow
