Funding Rates & Open Interest

Perps funding rates have normalized considerably after the last shakeout. Open interest on major exchanges like CME and Binance has also seen a slight dip but remains robust. This indicates less speculative froth, which could be healthy for sustained movement. Any thoughts on potential OI expansion targets?

I agree, the funding rate normalization is a good sign. Less leverage blowing up means a more stable market base.

While OI is robust, I'm not sure we're out of the woods yet. A slight dip could just be a temporary breather before more speculative money flows back in.

Good point on the reduced froth. I'm more interested in seeing if this translates into higher quality volume rather than just a quick pump and dump.

OI expansion targets are tricky. Are we looking for new highs, or just a slow, steady increase reflecting organic growth? I lean towards the latter for true health.

Healthy for sustained movement, perhaps, but what kind of movement are we talking about? Sideways for a bit to consolidate gains, or a fresh leg up?

Any thoughts on how the institutional side of CME's OI might be influencing this? Retail often follows institutional sentiment, even if indirectly.
