BTC 888

Bitcoin funding rates are still very neutral across the board.

There's no major long or short imbalance right now, which means positioning isn't giving us a strong directional signal.

But one thing does stand out.

On Bybit, longs are already paying shorts.

After Bitcoin's aggressive move higher, that's something to pay attention to.

It raises the question:

Is this rally being driven by genuine spot buying...

Or is it simply futures traders chasing price?

If it's the latter, the move becomes far less convincing.

Futures-led rallies can unwind very quickly once leverage gets flushed out.

For me, the key now is whether spot demand starts confirming this move.

Until then, I'm staying cautious.
