According to glassnode, the BTC funding rate has flipped negative, indicating a shift in trader sentiment with increased short positions building across major cryptocurrencies, including BNB and ADA. Notably, Solana now ranks as the 6th lowest funding rate among tracked assets on Glassnode Studio, signaling heightened short activity and potential downward price pressure.

According to glassnode, Solana (SOL) is currently the only top 10 cryptocurrency, excluding stablecoins, with a negative funding rate at -0.0002%. Although the rate is minor, this shift could indicate the early stages of growing short-side pressure.
