Relative Strength Index Shows Overbought Zone, But Funding Rate Might Fuel Further Rally

A sudden surge in an asset’s open interest usually leads to higher price volatility due to increased liquidations. In the last 24 hours, traders opened more short positions on Raydium, leading to a negative funding rate.

At the beginning of last week, the funding rate for short Raydium was 0.06%. But the rate shifted drastically and reached -0.06% on Oct. 29.

However, the increasing open interest and RSI hint at high price volatility as the market is still wandering in uncertainty.
