Bitcoin, Ethereum trade secrets revealed; going short might be…

The crypto market’s infamous swinging volatility continues to see different fortunes on a monthly basis. From traders selling their tokens at a loss to betting against the market (hoping for an uptick)- the market has seen it all. But what’s up this time around?

Bitcoin has been falling since reaching an all-time high price of $69,000 in November 2021. Altcoins too witnessed the wrath of the overall market downturn.

In fact, Ethereum fell by 11.45% whereas Bitcoin fell by 9.29%. Likewise, crypto liquidation reached 673 million just two days ago. But here’s something to look forward to as per Santiment, the analytical platform.

Following the market recovery, cryptocurrency exchanges saw high levels of short trades coming in, as people fear drops to June levels again.

Traders have been betting against the market while the price showed some vital signs of life. The reading of the average funding rate supported this narrative.

The negative funding rate indicated that perpetual prices went below the marked price.

This swift change in funding rates indicated a turn of sentiment from greed to fear. Thus, signaling a potential sign of a bottom.

Ergo, capitalising on this “bearish” mindset, the bet against the market tide made sense for traders. Santiment further added, “as long as they bet against markets, there is a higher chance of a rise.”

Ki-Young Ju, the CEO of on-chain analytics resource CryptoQuant, also showed how historically, a low funding rate “could be a buy signal.”  Consider his tweet from the last year- narrating the same outcome.

It seems not a good idea to wait for a correction when
