Price fell 6.4% in four days and the longs barely blinked.
BTC is at $75,378, down 6.37% over the last four days. A drop that size normally shakes out leveraged longs. Not this time. The long/short ratio is still 3.299, only slightly below its 3.365 peak, and 76.7% of positions remain long.
That gap is the story: price repriced, positioning did not. When the crowd stays one-sided into weakness, every bounce gets sold by trapped holders and every dip gets bought by people who are already fully committed.
Why it matters: crowded longs plus falling price is the setup where liquidation cascades begin, not where they end. The fuel for a real flush is still sitting on the book.
Takeaway: watch the long/short ratio alongside the candle. Until that 76.7% long reading cools, any rally is borrowing strength from traders who have nothing left to add.

If price is down 6% and 3 out of 4 traders are still long, what actually has to happen before they flip?
