In this Freegame episode, we're breaking down funding rates and open interest—two important tools that show where money is moving and how traders are feeling about the market. We’ll start by explaining the difference between spot and futures markets. 

Then, we’ll look at how funding rates work to show if buyers or sellers are in charge. We’ll also talk about open interest, which tells us how much leverage is being used and how it affects market swings. 

Using real-life chart examples, we’ll show you how to avoid risky trades, spot sudden market drops, and find good trading opportunities. By understanding these tools, you can make better trading decisions.
