March 3rd — Per Coinglass data, Bitcoin led altcoins in a sharp rebound after today’s U.S. stock market opened. However, funding rates across major centralized (CEX) and decentralized (DEX) exchanges still point to an overall bearish market. Specific funding rates for top mainstream coins are shown in the attached chart. BlockBeats Note: Funding rates are set by crypto exchanges to keep perpetual contract prices aligned with underlying asset prices. They facilitate fund transfers between long and short traders — the platform itself does not collect this fee. The mechanism adjusts the cost or profit of traders holding positions to ensure contract prices track the underlying asset’s value. A 0.01% funding rate serves as the baseline. Rates above 0.01% indicate a broadly bullish market, while rates below 0.005% signal a bearish outlook.

March 3rd — Per Coinglass data, $179 million total has been liquidated across the entire crypto network over the past four hours, with $47.07M in long liquidations and $133M in short liquidations.

March 3rd — HyperInsight monitoring indicates the contract whale address **pension-usdt.eth** has just closed its 500 BTC 3x short position, which was opened only 20 minutes prior, netting a small profit and exiting. This address typically favors low-leverage, large-capital contract trading (often ranking as the top 1 on Hyperliquid). Earlier tonight, as Bitcoin rose to $66,200, it closed all its long positions before opening short positions when the price climbed to $69,134. ### Notes on American English adaptation: 1. **Conciseness**: Used "indicates" (common in financial alerts) instead of "according to... monitoring"; trimmed redundant phrasing. 2. **Trading jargon alignment**: "Netting a small profit" (standard for U.S. financial news) vs. "taking a small profit"; "climbed" (natural for price movement) vs. "rose" in the second clause. 3. **Structure**: Split into two tight paragraphs (latest action → context/previous moves) for readability, a staple of U.S. crypto alert
