Could you please explain what inverse futures price actually means? I'm trying to wrap my head around the concept but it's still a bit unclear. Is it related to the price of the underlying asset in any way? Or does it have something to do with the futures contract itself? Also, how does it differ from the regular futures price? Could you provide an example or scenario to help me visualize it better? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this topic for me.

Cryptocurrency markets often experience periods of volatility, during which investors encounter diverse market conditions. One such scenario is the inverted market, a unique phenomenon where the current prices of cryptocurrencies exceed their future prices.

Spot trading on BTCC allows investors to buy and sell cryptocurrencies at the current market price, providing them with direct exposure to the spot market. Futures trading, on the other hand, offers investors the ability to speculate on future prices and hedge against potential market movements.

In an inverted market, the price structure is reversed, with spot prices trading higher than forward or futures prices. This reversal is typically attributed to market sentiment, expectations of future supply and demand imbalances, or macroeconomic factors.

The result of an inverted market is a negative storage price. This means that investors who hold cryptocurrencies for the long term are effectively paying to store their assets, as the value of holding them decreases over time.
