Market Sentiment Remains Bearish as Funding Rates Indicate Downtrend
According to BlockBeats, data from Coinglass reveals that current funding rates across major centralized and decentralized exchanges indicate a bearish market sentiment. The funding rates for mainstream cryptocurrencies are detailed in the accompanying chart. Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain balance between contract prices and the prices of underlying assets, typically applied to perpetual contracts. This mechanism facilitates the exchange of funds between long and short traders, without the platform charging this fee, to adjust the cost or profit of holding contracts, ensuring contract prices remain close to asset prices. A funding rate of 0.01% signifies a baseline rate. When the funding rate exceeds 0.01%, it suggests a bullish market sentiment. Conversely, a rate below 0.005% indicates a bearish outlook.

According to BlockBeats, Bitcoin's volatility has decreased to 1.62%, marking a week of slight fluctuations.
Bitcoin's high volatility is often linked to speculative trading and retail investor FOMO (fear of missing out). A decline in volatility may indicate a reduction in short-term speculative activity, suggesting the market is entering a consolidation or "cooling-off" period.
Additionally, Bitcoin price fluctuations are frequently associated with macroeconomic events such as inflation expectations, interest rate changes, or geopolitical risks. When these external factors stabilize, Bitcoin's volatility tends to decrease accordingly.
