After a consolidation phase spread over the last few weeks, Bitcoin is trading back above $60,000. With 3% gains in the daily chart, at the time of writing, and 2% profit in the weekly chart BTC still looking for confirmation on its rally.
As it approached its all-time high zone, the funding rate for BTC’s futures market across all exchanges took an explosive jump towards 0.14%. Meaning there are higher incentives to take short positions for investors in this sector.
