Bitcoin Bounces Nearly 20% from Low, On-chain Funding Rate Indicates Bearish Sentiment Persisting

**February 7 Update** Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin rebounded nearly 20% from its daily low to hit $71,751 at one point—but current funding rates across major CEXs and DEXs still signal a bearish market (see the attached chart for specific rates). **BlockBeats Note** Funding rates are set by crypto exchanges to align perpetual contract prices with underlying asset values.
