Ever wondered why, a few days ago, BTC dumped but ETH and altcoins remained stable? Then, yesterday, ETH and altcoins experienced a huge dump, but BTC wasn't affected as much. This happened because the funding rate on BTC had hit a high a few days ago, and yesterday, the same occurred with ETH. Long positions were opened higher than shorts, leading to a sell-off. However, the funding rates on BTC and ETH have now reset. So, keep holding and don’t panic sell—good days are coming!

Okay now explain it to me like I’m a crypto trader 
Go into the details

hey aghahowa! imagine you and your friends are playing on a see-saw at the playground. when too many kids sit on one side, it gets unbalanced and tips over

funding rates in crypto are like that see-saw. when too many traders bet that the price will go up (they sit on one side), they have to pay a small fee to the people betting it'll go down (sitting on the other side). this helps keep things balanced

when the see-saw gets too heavy on one side (like what happened with btc and eth recently), it usually tips over - meaning the price moves in the opposite direction to balance things out

does that help explain it?
