Bitcoin's price action has narrowed for two consecutive days, seemingly calm on the surface, but undercurrents are surging. Coinglass data shows that funding rates on all major CEXs and DEXs have turned negative—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other major tokens are no exception, indicating that short sellers are quietly gaining dominance. The market is waiting for a direction. Persistently negative funding rates mean that most traders are betting on a decline. This is not a minor signal; historically, every extreme shift in funding rates has often been a prelude to significant market volatility. The question now is not "whether it will move," but "which way it will move."
