Both sides work against this trade now: funding costs −$28 a day on $10k at the current rate, and Aster is 0.366% cheaper against Injective than usual: you would sell low and buy high (−$37 if the spread goes back to its 7-day average of +0.064%). Swap the legs. Mind the row above: over the last 5 days funding on this pair paid +0.220%, so the current rate has only just turned against you. The two prices were read 57 seconds apart, so part of this spread may be the market moving, not a spread.

The current funding rate is far above what this pair has been paying: over the last 5 days it paid 0.220% in total (about 15.5% a year). A funding rate is set anew for every payment. In the chart: green and red are payments made, yellow is the current rate, not paid yet.
