Ether funding rate flips negative. Are ETH bears back in control.

Ethereum’s perpetual funding rate has dipped into negative territory for the first time in weeks, signaling that short sellers are now paying long traders to maintain their positions. While this often points to bearish sentiment, analysts suggest this "positioning imbalance" could act as "coiled energy" for a massive short squeeze, especially as spot ETH ETF inflows reached $185 million this week.
