Crypto FuturesSELL signalCrypto Futures — OI vs Price DynamicsSWING
Perpetual mark price trading ABOVE the spot index with positive funding confirming the crowded-long premium. Two simultaneous mechanical forces drive the perp back DOWN: arbitrageurs sell the expensive perp and buy spot until the gap closes; longs paying above-normal carry reduce exposure as cost compounds. Mirror-image of Backwardation Reversal — same arb mechanics, opposite direction. Ranked by deepest positive basis.
The edge — what this scanner is hunting
Quarterly futures premium > perp + high positive funding = nobody left to buy. Both markets priced for upside.
