On-chain data shows the Bitcoin funding rate is still at a relatively high positive value, suggesting that the crypto might see more decline in the near term.

Bitcoin Funding Rate Has Been At A Positive Value During The Last Few Days

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the current funding rate suggests that the price is in a new decline right now.

The “funding rate” is an indicator that measures the periodic fee that traders in the Bitcoin futures market have to pay each other.

When the value of this metric is above zero, it means long traders are currently paying a premium to the short traders to keep their positions. Such values indicate that a bullish sentiment is more dominant in the market at the moment.

On the other hand, negative values of the indicator imply the majority sentiment is bearish right now as shorts are paying longs currently.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin funding rates over the last six months:

As you can see in the above graph, whenever the Bitcoin funding rate has reached a relatively high positive value during the last few months, the price of the crypto has generally observed a decline not too long after. Similarly, negative spikes have resulted in the value of BTC seeing some uptrend.

Here’s what’s going on here: high positive values mean longs are piling up in the market. So, a significant enough sudden decline can liquidate a lot of these, which can end up driving the price further down, and thus liquidating even more long positions. Such an event where liquidations cascade together is called a “squeeze” (or in this case, a long squeeze).

A few days back, when the price of the crypto was above $23k, the funding rate again made a positive peak and the price subsequently went down. However, the current value of the indicator still looks to be quite positive, which may mean the decline is still ongoing.

BTC Price

At the time of writing, Bitcoin’s price floats around $22.7k, up 6% in the last seven days. Over the past month, the crypto has gained 8% in value.

The below chart shows the trend in the price of the coin over the last five days.

Keshav is currently a senior writer at NewsBTC and has been attached to the website since June 14, 2021.

Keshav has been writing for many years, first as a hobbyist and later as a freelancer. He has experience working in a variety of niches, even fiction at one point, but the cryptocurrency industry has been the longest he has been attached to.

In terms of official educational qualifications, Keshav holds a bachelor’s degree in Physics from one of the premier institutes of India, the University of Delhi (DU). He started the degree with an aim of eventually making a career in Physics, but the onset of COVID led to a shift in plans. The virus meant that the college classes had to be delivered in the online-mode and with it came free time for him to explore other passions.

Initially only seeking to make some beer money, Keshav unexpectedly landed clients offering real projects, after which there was no looking back. Writing was something he had always enjoyed and to be able to do it for a living was like a dream come true.

Keshav completed his Physics degree in 2022 and has been focusing on his writing career since, but that doesn’t mean his passion for Physics has ended. He eventually plans to re-enter university to obtain a masters degree in the same field, but perhaps only to satiate his own interest rather than for using it as a means to find employment..

Keshav has found blockchain and its concepts fascinating ever since he started going down the rabbit-hole back in 2020. On-chain analysis in particular has been something he likes to research more about, which is why his NewsBTC pieces tend to involve it in some form.

Being of the science background, Keshav likes if concepts are clear and consistent, so he generally explains the indicators he talks about in a bit of detail so that the readers can perhaps come out having understood and learnt something new.

As for hobbies, Keshav is super into football, anime, and videogames. He enjoys football not only as a watcher, but also as a player. For games, Keshav generally tends towards enjoying singleplayer adventures, with EA FC (formerly FIFA) being the only online game he is active in. Though, perhaps due to being ultra-focused on the game, he is today a semi-pro on the EA FC scene, regularly participating in tournaments and sometimes even taking back prize money.

Because of his enthusiasm for anime and games, he also self-learned Japanese along the way to consume some of the untranslated gems out there. The skill didn’t merely remain as just a hobby, either, as he put it to productive use during his exploration for small-time gigs at the start of COVID, fulfilling a couple of Japanese-to-English translation jobs.

Keshav is also big into fitness, with agility and acceleration-related workouts making a big part of his program due to the relevance they have in football. On top of that, he also has a more traditional strength based program for the gym, which he does to maintain an overall fitness level of his body.
