The rate is negative, yet the price is still close to the 24-hour high; this signal should not be ignored.

$SIREN now reports 0.7832, up 31.17% in 24 hours, with a high of 0.7909, just a little below the intraday high.
In normal upward movements, bullish traders are more willing to pay to chase positions.
But here, the funding rate is -0.0898%, and it has already been negative for two consecutive periods with bears paying.
This means the bears are still holding their positions, yet the price has not been pushed down.
More importantly, position changes.
$SIREN contract holdings reach $14.8 million, with 24-hour open interest increasing by 58.3%, and a 7.1% increase in the last hour.
This is not just a simple spot rally; new positions are rapidly entering the contract order book.
The trading volume is $75.8 million, and compared to the current position size, it indicates active turnover, but not yet at the extreme volume clearing stage.
The long-short structure is also a bit tangled.
The total account long-short ratio is 1.76, with 64% of accounts going long, and the top accounts have a long-short ratio of 1.42, indicating bulls are clearly dominant.
But the contract premium is -0.2573%, and the perpetual price is actually below the spot price.
The simultaneous occurrence of paying bears and negative premium often indicates that some traders in the market do not believe in this rally.
If the price continues to be pushed near 0.79, the time cost for the bears will become increasingly unfavorable.
The key point of this structure is not “a 31% increase.”
The focus is: -0.0898% rate, +58.3% open interest in 24 hours, price close to the 0.7909 high, and contract premium at -0.2573%.
When these four numbers are considered together, they reveal the most abnormal aspect of $SIREN ’s order book.
