[Analyst: Funding Rates Flash Typical Signal Before Major Bitcoin Moves, Pessimism May Have Peaked] CryptoQuant analyst Darkfost stated that Bitcoin funding rates are once again showing the typical signals seen before major price surges in September 2024 and December 2022, indicating that pessimism may have recently peaked. From March to May, Bitcoin experienced a correction of over 50%, with short positions accumulating and pushing funding rates into negative territory. Subsequently, BTC rebounded to $82,000 in May. This signal has now reappeared, potentially leaving room for bullish reconstruction in the coming months. This indicator has been transformed into a monthly sentiment aggregation tool, proving to be more effective than the Fear and Greed Index.
