BTC Funding Rates fall to long-time lows

Bitcoin’s Funding Rates now at their most negative levels since 2023, according to Glassnode’s 7-day MA. At the time of writing, the metric slipped to the -0.004% to -0.005% range; this is the deepest red stretch in recent times.

Short positions are dominating the market, and traders are betting on a greater fall.

But here’s where it gets interesting. Similar sentiment drops were seen around March 2020, mid-2021, and during the FTX-led collapse in late 2022; all well-known local market bottom phases.

There is no confirmed reversal yet, but bearish sentiment is approaching extreme levels again.

Bitcoin’s recent advance is being described as one of the most widely dismissed rallies in years — yet that skepticism itself may be what continues to fuel the move higher, according to crypto comment

Bitcoin’s recent advance is being described as one of the most widely dismissed rallies in years — yet that skepticism itself may be what continues to fuel the move higher, according to crypto commentator Ran Neuner.
In a recent live discussion, Neuner highlighted what he called a “Trump-style recovery,” where risk assets have staged a strong V-shaped rebound. The S&P 500 has pushed to new all-time highs, while Bitcoin climbed above $74,000, even as macro headwinds such as geopolitical tensions, sticky inflation, and elevated oil prices continue to weigh on sentiment.
Global equity markets are following a similar pattern. Japan’s Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi are trading near record highs, with the Kospi up roughly 50% year-to-date — reflecting broad strength across risk assets.
Despite the rally, sentiment remains deeply divided. Some analysts tied to the four-year Bitcoin cycle argue the true bull market cannot restart until later in the year and expect a possible retest toward $50,000. Meanwhile, altcoin traders remain frustrated as Bitcoin dominance stays elevated, leaving assets like Solana at multi-month lows relative to BTC.
On the other hand, several on-chain and macro indicators suggest strong underlying demand. The S&P 500’s near 10% surge in just 10 days ranks in the 99.7th percentile of historical returns since 1950. The Fear & Greed Index has remained in extreme fear territory for an extended period, while whale wallets have accumulated approximately 270,000 BTC over the past 30 days — the highest level since 2013.
Stablecoin liquidity has also expanded sharply, reaching an estimated $320 billion, while negative funding rates point to heavily positioned shorts — conditions that have historically preceded short squeezes.
Institutional activity continues to play a major role. MicroStrategy raised $6.3 billion through its “Stretch” preferred stock offering, with proceeds fully allocated to Bitcoin purchases.

A fragile but significant ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel took effect Thursday, as President Donald Trump signaled that a broader peace agreement with Iran may be within reach. The development marks a pivotal moment in the U.S.-Iran war, which erupted on February 28 following a joint American-Israeli military offensive.Trump confirmed that Iran had expressed willingness to forgo nuclear weapons for over two decades, a notable shift from earlier positions. Speaking outside the White House, he told reporters that a deal was close, and later declared at a Las Vegas event that the war "should be ending pretty soon." If finalized, the agreement would reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global shipping lane carrying roughly one-fifth of the world's oil and gas — potentially easing an unprecedented oil price crisis that has rattled global markets and prompted IMF warnings of a looming recession.Celebrations broke out across Beirut at midnight as the ceasefire began, though early violations were reported by the Lebanese Army, citing Israeli shelling in southern villages. Hezbollah also issued a statement confirming its final strike came just minutes before the truce deadline.Diplomatic momentum is building around Pakistani Army chief Asim Munir, who reportedly made progress on key sticking points during a visit to Tehran. U.S. and Iranian negotiators remain divided over the fate of Iran's highly enriched uranium stockpile and the lifting of international sanctions, though sources suggest a partial compromise is emerging.Trump announced plans to invite Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Lebanese President Joseph Aoun to the White House for peace talks, while indicating he may personally travel to Islamabad if a final deal is signed there.Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned that military operations would resume if negotiations collapse.Gold is

South Korea's financial markets are staging a powerful comeback, drawing foreign investors back after a turbulent March that saw billions in capital flee. A combination of easing Middle East tensions, surging demand for AI memory chips, and long-overdue corporate governance reforms are fueling renewed confidence in both Korean stocks and bonds.The KOSPI benchmark index has recovered nearly all of its 19% March decline, building on momentum that made it the top-performing major stock index last year. Year-to-date gains now stand at 44.5%, following a remarkable 75% surge in 2025. While approximately $4.2 billion in foreign capital has returned this month, the market's volatility remains a concern — single-day swings of up to 12% in losses and 9% in gains have tested investor nerves.Much of the renewed interest centers on South Korea's dominant position in high bandwidth memory chips, a critical component in AI-powered data centers. Institutional investors have been rotating out of Taiwanese semiconductor stocks and into cheaper South Korean chipmakers like Samsung Electronics, betting on a sustained AI-driven megatrend.Seoul's push to address the so-called "Korea Discount" — a long-standing valuation gap tied to weak governance among family-controlled conglomerates known as chaebols — is also attracting activist funds looking for Japan-style reform gains. Corporate fundraising remains robust, with Korean companies raising $74.7 billion in the first quarter of 2026 alone.The bond market tells an equally encouraging story. The 10-year government yield has dropped significantly this month, and South Korea's anticipated inclusion in the FTSE World Government Bond Index could unlock between $50 billion and $70 billion in passive fund inflows, according to market analysts.One persistent headwind remains the South Korean won, which continues trading near 17-year l

Exchange reserves drop

Meanwhile, exchange reserves have now fallen to around 2.68 million BTC. The decline has been steady since early 2025, when reserves were still above 3.0 million BTC. It’s only sped up since.



Fewer coins on exchanges means fewer coins available to sell in the market. If buying demand returns while reserves remain this low, the story will flip quickly—especially with short positioning already high.
