This is why this move smells like a setup.
Is Binance part of this!!!
Smart traders show ~45.5M USDT in LONG positions
Long/Short ratio heavily skewed to longs
Yet funding is NEGATIVE (−2%).
By basic futures mechanics, funding should be POSITIVE when longs are this dominant — longs pay shorts.
Instead, longs are getting paid.
That’s not organic demand.
That’s distorted incentives.
What’s really happening: • Crowded positioning
• Funding flipped to keep longs in
• Shorts forced to pay while price is held
• Market makers farming fees + liquidity
When funding doesn’t align with positioning, it’s not bullish — it’s controlled.
Be careful chasing moves where: – 45M+ longs are already in
– funding contradicts logic
– price is extended
That’s how traps are built.
⚠️ Trade smart.
