The increase was primarily driven by long positions, suggesting confidence in further upside.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/uploads\/2025-07\/0197cc2f-c1d7-7f88-95f7-857015e3c6e4\" title=\"\"\/><figcaption style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Bitcoin price, aggregated open interest, funding rate, and Coinbase premium.

This indicates a balanced sentiment between long and short traders, and more importantly, that the rally was not driven by excessive leverage. From a bullish standpoint, stable funding during a price increase implies that the uptrend may be more sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>A notable short squeeze accompanied the move, with over $196 million in short positions <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/LiquidationData\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"https:\/\/www.coinglass.com\/LiquidationData\">liquidated<\/a> within the past 12 hours.
