📊 What Is Crowd Positioning?
Crowd positioning refers to where the majority of traders are currently placed in the market — whether they’re mostly long, mostly short, or heavily leveraged in one direction.
Markets constantly track this behavior.

🧠 Why Crowd Positioning Matters

When too many traders agree on one direction:
Risk becomes one-sidedLiquidity builds up around stopsThe market becomes vulnerable to sharp reversals
Price often moves against the crowd, not with it.

🔍 How Crowd Positioning Forms
Crowd positioning usually becomes extreme around:
Strong trends that attract late entriesPopular support & resistance levelsBreakouts fueled by FOMOHigh funding rates and open interest
The more obvious the trade looks, the more crowded it becomes.

🎯 How Smart Traders Use It
Instead of following the crowd, smart traders:
✔ Monitor long vs short ratios
✔ Watch funding rates and open interest
✔ Wait for confirmation before fading extremes
They trade imbalances, not opinions.

📌 Key Takeaway
Crowd positioning shows who’s trapped and where risk is concentrated.
Price moves to rebalance that risk.
If everyone is on one side of the trade —
ask yourself: who’s left to buy or sell?

Throughout my journey as an investor, I went through four phases that shaped my way of dealing with the market:
1. Turbulent beginning
I made many mistakes due to a lack of experience. I reacted with anxiety to normal market corrections, confusing volatility with real losses. Learning to stay calm was essential.
2. Structure and clarity
Over time, I understood the importance of long-term positioning. I stopped making short trades without knowledge and began to clearly separate what was investment and what was speculation.
