Ethereum (ETH) funding rate -0.0003%… Bitcoin (BTC) also in bearish territory

Ethereum's volume-weighted funding rate turned negative at -0.0003% on the 15th, while its open-interest-weighted rate stayed marginally positive at 0.0001%, and Bitcoin's open-interest- and volume-weighted funding rates both sat at 0.0020%. All four weighted readings fell below the 0.005% threshold that CoinGlass uses to flag a weak zone against a 0.01% baseline. At the time of reporting, Bitcoin was down 3.13% over 24 hours to $64,837.80 and Ethereum had fallen 4.84% to $1,806.59 on HTX pricing. The split in Ethereum's funding metrics signals uneven positioning, with spot-driven flows pricing in more bearish sentiment than outstanding derivatives exposure. Traders will watch whether Ethereum's volume-weighted funding stays negative and whether Bitcoin's rates slide further toward zero as a confirmation of broader downside pressure.
