Brothers still shouting about it there—looks like they’ve gotten addicted to the old parking-lot charging system—traffic has already been rerouted long ago. When the broad market lifts its pricing in step-like jumps toward higher levels, the long side’s positions are stacked up in sync—major players’ position share has climbed to nearly 70%. Can this kind of force be mustered by retail traders alone? In the spot market, aggressive buy orders press down on sell orders, and the buy walls are so thick that when price gets smashed, it’s all hands waiting to catch the falling. Contract open interest keeps rising too, while the funding rate stays stable in the long’s zero-cost zone—so the main players don’t have to worry about fuel to keep holding. The moment price pierces through the previous high, what short sellers should be thinking about isn’t adding to positions—it’s how to extricate themselves on a one-way downhill ramp.
