BlockBeats News, February 27, according to Coinglass data, as bitcoin slightly retraced and maintained a range-bound trend, the current funding rates on major CEX and DEX platforms indicate that the market has once again turned fully bearish. The specific funding rates for major cryptocurrencies are shown in the attached chart. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are fees set by cryptocurrency trading platforms to maintain the balance between contract prices and the underlying asset prices, usually applied to perpetual contracts. It is a mechanism for the exchange of funds between long and short traders. The trading platform does not charge this fee; it is used to adjust the cost or profit of holding contracts for traders, so that the contract price remains close to the underlying asset price. When the funding rate is 0.01%, it represents the benchmark rate. When the funding rate is greater than 0.01%, it indicates that the market is generally bullish. When the funding rate is less than 0.005%, it indicates that the market is generally bearish.

PANews reported on February 27 that bitcoin analyst Willy Woo tweeted that his on-chain and liquidity models indicate that the selling pressure from bitcoin investors seems to have been largely released. The price may consolidate sideways for about a month or even rebound to the mid-$70,000s, but will most likely face resistance. Woo stated that both spot and futures liquidity are currently bearish, and he has never seen a sustained rally when both sides are bearish at the same time. His "educational projection" suggests that the current bear market trend may end in the fourth quarter of this year, while real bullish momentum may not return until the first or second quarter of 2027. The typical bear market bottom range is around $45,000. If the global macro environment significantly weakens, $30,000 and $16,000 would be key support levels and the last lines of defense for maintaining the long-term bull market structure, respectively.
