Funding rates have stayed impressively healthy during the recent altcoin rally. 🔥

Despite solid gains across the board, we’re seeing mostly neutral or even slightly negative funding – indicating this move is spot-driven, not fueled by overleveraged longs. That’s exactly what you want to see in a sustainable uptrend. 📈

The few exceptions? Almost entirely meme coins like WIF, PEPE, and PENGU – where funding has spiked due to retail chasing pumps. These should be treated with caution.

Smart positioning right now is focusing on quality: BTC, ETH, and strong large caps that are moving without leverage froth. That’s where real strength is building. 💪
