February 11th — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin’s downturn has stabilized, with the token reclaiming the $69,000 level. However, current funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges indicate the market remains predominantly bearish (see attached chart). **BlockBeats Note**: Funding rates are fees set by crypto exchanges to align perpetual contract prices with the underlying asset’s spot price. They function as a transfer between long and short traders—exchanges do not collect this fee. The mechanism adjusts costs or profits for position holders to keep contract prices closely tied to the underlying asset. A 0.01% funding rate is the baseline. Rates above 0.01% signal generally bullish sentiment; rates below 0.005% indicate bearish sentiment.
