Quick Take

  • The perpetual funding rate for Bitcoin flipped positive this morning, which has seen Bitcoin shorts rekt and take crypto liquidations in the past 24 hours to $240 million.
  • The majority of the liquidations are short liquidations at roughly $190m.
  • While the three largest Bitcoin cohorts have started accumulating over the weekend, I would suggest retail would follow sharply as smart money moves first.
