On the futures market, traders constantly pay a small fee to each other called the funding rate, and which way that fee flows tells you which way the crowd is leaning. When far more people are betting a coin goes down than up, the short-sellers have to pay to keep their bets open — and the more lopsided the crowd gets, the more negative that fee goes.
Picture everyone on a boat rushing to one side to look at something. For a while it's fine, but the more crowded that side gets, the more the boat tips — and the easier it is for it to lurch back the other way. A heavily one-sided short crowd is the same: if price ticks up even a little, those traders scramble to buy back their bets all at once, and that rush of buying can snap the price sharply higher — a short squeeze.
SeerSignals watches each coin's funding against its own normal range and flags it on the card the moment the shorts get unusually crowded — a green “crowded shorts — squeeze setup” tag. Max members can add it as an indicator or be pinged the instant it fires on a coin they follow.
