/funding - Funding & squeeze risk

★ Premium

/funding shows where the crowd is over-positioned, by ranking the most extreme funding rates.

What it does

/funding ranks the liquid USDⓈ-M perpetuals by funding rate - the periodic payment between longs and shorts - to surface crowded positioning and squeeze risk. Or pass a ticker for one coin's rate, direction and next settlement. Premium feature. For the concept, see the blog on the funding rate.

How to use

/funding           top extreme funding pairs
/funding SOLUSDT   funding detail for one coin

💡 Per-symbol detail: /funding TICKER

Two sections, 📈 Highest Positive and 📉 Most Negative, each row showing an intensity icon (💀 Mania, 🔴 Extreme, 🟡 Elevated, ⚪ Normal), the ticker, the rate, 24h volume and time to the next settlement.

Single-symbol view - the coin's rate with its intensity label, who pays whom (📈 longs pay shorts / 📉 shorts pay longs / ⚖️ neutral), and the next settlement time.

When no pairs clear the elevated threshold the leaderboard says so rather than padding it.

Tips

  • Extreme positive funding means longs are crowded and paying to hold - a setup for a long squeeze; extreme negative is the mirror.
  • Holding a position into settlement on the paying side costs you - signals already warn about this; /funding lets you check it yourself.
