How this study works

The normalized funding rate is compared with its 5th percentile calculated only from earlier intervals. At least 270 prior observations are required, preventing future information from influencing historical triggers.

Forward return = ((price on T + horizon / price on T) โˆ’ 1) ร— 100. Missing exact UTC dates are marked incomplete and excluded from aggregates. Percentiles use inclusive linear interpolation.
