1/ funding rates
funding rates are probably the one thing everyone on the list which everyone knows about at this point; therefore, the edge in it is not that high/rare to happen.
very tldr for those of you that never heard about funding rates:
If funding is positive, it means that the perpetual swap is trading above the index price, and if funding is negative, it means that the perpetual swap is trading below the index price.
If funding is positive, longs pay a fee to shorts.
If funding is negative, shorts pay a fee to longs.

Bitcoin Price is dumping as people are dumping their GBTC shares.
GBTC held $25bn+ worth of Bitcoin that has been locked up for years with no option to be sold. As soon as the redemption option opened, for the first time people are starting to exit - as they exit the Bitcoin must be sold on the market. Now they are taking a discount again!
$25bn is a serious number and even if just 20% are redeemed, that is $5bn in sales on the market.
The issue is that I doubt that the ETF providers have this much demand as quickly.
We could see some selling pressure for a while but luckily the market is not selling off - its mainly Bitcoin and not the Alts!
