I've assumed it's a positive rate for one and 0 for the other (one pays fees, one doesn't).
It could be that the two are an inverse though so that one is positive and one is negative (you don't actually see 2 funding rates on exchanges normally either).
Predicting the rate could be done by checking the volume/volatility at the time and checking the shorts v longs data - if these both update in realtime.
I sort of expected it to be displaced in away that it's negative (since the shorts are going to pay longs) or vice versa depending on the live market conditions. Also, I expected the funding rate history to show that at this time shorts paid longs therefore the funding rate was negative, instead of just a positive percentage throughout. One can not tell which particular time the shorts paid the longs. I hope you get what I mean

Yeah, it's displayed on the bybit charts too. However, we don't get to know if the shorts paid/are going to pay the longs or the longs paid/are going to pay the shorts through the "
+" or "
-" sign on the funding rate figure because they never show it.
