Why Can High Funding Rates Make Long-Term Positions Increasingly Expensive?

Many cryptocurrency traders focus on BTC price movements but overlook another factor that can continuously affect trading results: funding rates.

You may correctly predict the market and have a temporarily profitable position, but if you hold a perpetual contract for a long time, ongoing funding payments can still erode your final returns.

Your directional view determines the profit or loss from price movements, while funding rates can continuously affect the cost of holding a position.

$BTC retesting the trendline ⌛️
