Take a quick look at the data from January 5th. The recent market has experienced a rebound, but from the perspective of funding rates, the current situation is quite interesting——Data from both CEX and DEX mainstream exchanges are telling the same story: retail and institutional enthusiasm for altcoins has significantly cooled down, almost entirely in a bearish stance. Bitcoin remains lukewarm, maintaining a neutral funding rate, with no particular bullish or bearish pressure.
This situation actually reflects a subtle shift in the current market: people's attitude towards blue-chip coins (especially BTC) remains relatively rational, but participation in smaller coins is indeed loosening. Changes in funding rates often reflect market sentiment, and the current signal is that fewer people are chasing high-altitude altcoins in the short term. If you're making decisions based on these data, this reference value is quite high.

Altcoins are really cooling off this time; I don't even dare to look at those trash coins I hold anymore.
Retail investors are all buying the dip in BTC, the smart money has already run.
Fee rate data doesn't lie; this time, you really need to be careful.
The coins that were hyped up a month ago are now unwanted, haha.
So, chasing hot topics has to be quick, or you'll end up holding the bag.
BTC is still the most stable, everything else is gambling.
This rebound feels very hollow; let's wait and see how it develops later.

Altcoins are about to cool off. I saw it coming a long time ago; retail investors are all cutting losses.
Hmm... BTC's attitude is a bit cold. Could a big drop be coming?
Funding rates don't lie. More and more people are bearish. I feel like a dump is imminent.
Why is no one playing with small coins anymore? The bear market vibe is getting stronger.
Wait, are blue-chip coins rational? Then is there still hope for my shitcoins? Haha.
A rate reversal is a signal. But these data points are a bit ominous.
Everyone has moved to BTC. Are small-cap coins being abandoned?

Altcoins are really unwanted this time, and the fee rates have been flattened.
Retail investors are still in a daze, while institutions have already run away.
Stability of BTC is the real deal; everything else is just a feast for the leeks.
Funding rates don't lie; data speaks for itself.
This rebound is probably just preparing for the bagholders of altcoins.
I'm bullish on BTC; don't touch those small coins. Entering now is equivalent to suicide.

Altcoins really aren't being played anymore, this rebound feels a bit fake
Institutions are all watching BTC, retail investors have already left, the fee rate says it all
Is it time to accumulate coins again and wait for the next round? I don't really want to chase the high
Funding rate really can reveal clues, the current signal is to stay on the sidelines
Wait a minute, is another wave about to crash?
