That funding rate at 2 a.m. was insanely negative—longs got absolutely crushed. But what really determines tomorrow’s direction isn’t the futures market; it’s the Fed’s decision at 2 p.m. Cut rates, and risk assets get some breathing room; hold steady, and we grind sideways; actually hike, and tech stocks get wrecked first. It’s that simple. Don’t ask why. Save this, and come back tomorrow to see if it checks out.
