How this study works

An occurrence is recorded at the 3rd consecutive negative funding interval. A longer uninterrupted run remains one episode.

Forward return = ((price on T + horizon / price on T) − 1) × 100. Missing exact UTC dates are marked incomplete and excluded from aggregates. Percentiles use inclusive linear interpolation.
