Bitcoin's futures funding rate remains negative even as BTC trades above $75K, indicating potential bearish sentiment among traders despite the rising price.

Bitcoin's futures funding rate has stayed negative, even as the price of BTC climbed back above $75,000. This negative funding rate suggests that traders in the futures market are less optimistic, perhaps even betting on a price decrease. Normally, a negative rate means short-sellers are paying long-sellers. This situation, where the futures market sentiment differs from the spot market price action, could signal underlying caution or potential instability that investors should watch closely.
