It does feel like punishing the long side; the more the bulls are squeezed, the more expensive it gets, and eventually, a single needle could cause a sharp drop.

The funding rate is so high that it usually means the longs are being squeezed out, and the market is forcing you not to leverage.

At this point, strategy is more important than direction: light positions, hedging, or simply observing; the fee rates are already warning "Don't be greedy."

2% this is basically an abnormal state; be cautious, it could be due to insufficient contract depth or short-term squeezing.

This environment is most susceptible to "fee rate arbitrage" skewing the rhythm; it's hard to say whether the market is being controlled or not, but the sentiment has already become extreme.

You need to wait for the sentiment to cool down before shorting, otherwise, no matter how high the fee rate is, you won't be able to withstand a sudden surge.

You’re calculating this 60% based on a continuous 2% over the entire day, right? The actual fee rate is settled every 8 hours, so it fluctuates a lot. Don’t be scared by the panel.

If you really feel like you're being manipulated, don't fight it aggressively when the fees are high; lower your leverage or wait for things to return to normal first.

I prefer to understand it as exchange risk control + supply and demand pricing; when one side overheats naturally, the rate will be lowered to cool it down.

High fees = multiple heads paying rent, short-term bullish, but the more expensive, the easier it is to pull back, with asymmetric risk and reward.

The funding rate for going long at 2% compounded daily results in 60%, which seems like they’re not allowing short positions. It feels like they’re using the funding rate to manipulate the market.
