It is an indication of newfound confidence in the spot and derivatives markets.

Bitcoin Price Revives
The price of the bitcoin recovered between $107,500 and approximately 113,900 between 22 and 29 October which coincided with the change in the funding rate. As indicated by the Binance chart, every past period of positive funding that sustained. For e.g., in late May and mid-July 2025, was to follow by robust rallies. The traders are looking forward to the possibility of having an after-break that will take it to the levels of the $120,000–125,000 range in the event of the positive momentum being maintained.
The trends in the funding rates are a predictor of the next move of Bitcoin. The rally in 2021 between $30,000 and $69,000 was driven by positive rates of funding. In the bear market of 2022, negative funding rates were in line with the decline of Bitcoin to $16,000. The positive funding returns in 20242025 have been associated with post-halving returns. These historical arrangements are reflected in the present arrangement, indicating that Bitcoin could be starting its second bullish cycle.
Market and Macroeconomic Environment
The recent reduction of the rate by the Federal Reserve (4.75) to 4.0-4.25) has made the market more liquid and the investors more willing to buy risk assets such as Bitcoin. This liquidity inflow sustains leveraged long positions and promotes the growth of funding rate. The Fear & Greed Index is at a high of 34, which is cautious but as long as positive funding is sustained it will shift to greed and make Bitcoin price movement inflated.
Being the largest exchange in the cryptocurrency market globally, Binance sets trends in the derivatives markets in the world. Its perpetual contract funding rates are based on the trading of the bullish leverage and bearish leverage. When funding rates remain positive, that indicates traders are aggressively positioning on more upside. This trend tends to affect other trading and spot markets, which increases the potential of Bitcoin to rally.
The altcoins usually increase when Bitcoin is following a definite uptrend. As the rates of Binance funding become positive, and Bitcoin continues to stabilize at more than $110,000, traders are anticipating capital flight to altcoins. Analysts view this arrangement as the preliminary phase of a larger market expansion just like the previous bull runs.
