Recent data from Coinglass reveals that the cryptocurrency market is currently displaying a neutral to bearish sentiment, according to BlockBeats. This sentiment is reflected in the funding rates for major exchanges, both centralized and decentralized. The accompanying data provides a detailed breakdown of these funding rates for key cryptocurrencies. Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain balance between contract prices and asset prices, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This process enables the exchange of funds between long and short traders without platform charging fees, adjusting costs or profit on holding contracts, ensuring that contract prices stay close to asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% represents a baseline; when rates exceed this mark, it generally indicates bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a funding rate below 0.005%, suggests a bearish market outlook.
