Talk while watching the order book: $ETH —up! In seven hours, the long/short position ratio rose another notch; longs’ share climbed to over 65%. Positioning pushed the near-doubling gap out—this kind of move can’t be built by retail traders alone. Only on the account side do we see what’s really going on: retail accounts are 70% crowded into the long side, while big accounts are only 59%—yet they put all their heavy positions on the long side. With so many people talking, the ones with the heavier inventory are what set the price. From a technical perspective: MACD is strong, price is above both the short- and long-term moving averages, and sentiment is strongly positive and synchronized—so the long trend is being guided to move along that line.
