Recent data indicates a potentially significant shift in Ethereum’s market dynamics, as current funding rate data shows patterns similar to those observed before past price surges. This period of relative calm in the funding rates could be setting the stage for substantial price movements. Looking at the previous years for Ethereum, it has gone up in price at similar phases of low funding rates. As CryptoQuant data shows, the latest numbers indicate an emerging trend that Ethereum could be moving to a significant market shift.

Current Ethereum Funding Rate Mimics Previous Bull Cycle
Looking at fund rates, it was observed that Ethereum has shown periods of stability before major price changes in the past. For instance, in September 2023, the funding rate of Ethereum hovered between 0.002 and 0.005. This period of low funding rates was witnessed during a bull cycle and soon after the funding rate moved higher than 0.015, Ethereum spiked from about $1,500 to almost $4,000.
As for now, the Ethereum’s funding rate in September 2024 has also remained low navigating around the same situation as it was during the previous year. This has left many wondering if the current stable funding rates are an indication of another pump in the Ethereum price.
This pattern implies that the cryptocurrency market is relatively subdued during the summer months, but regains its intensity in the last quarter of the calendar year. However, there is a potential for Ethereum’s funding rate to rise if the indicator goes above 0.015. Any rise beyond this level could be a sign that a new bullish wave is starting, driven by the futures market.
Historical Data Suggests Ethereum Price May Surge with Higher Funding Rates
The historical graph shows that whenever the funding rates go up, there are sharp movements in the price. Therefore, it is essential to pay attention to whether Ethereum’s funding rate rises above the 0.015 level to forecast further increases in price. These rates will be watched by investors and analysts, to see if Ether is poised to make another major advance.
While it is uncertain if past trends will fully repeat, the current data suggests, reported by CryptoQuant, a pattern that warrants close attention. If funding rate of Ethereum rises above 0.015 then it may indicate the beginning of a new bullish wave in a market similar to previous ones.
