This drop is brutal enough, but what it has revealed is opportunity, not a grave. In the spot order book’s top twenty levels, buy orders are pressed down directly with sell-side orders that are twice as large—this isn’t a thickness an ordinary retail crowd can build. Look at the big players on the other side: their long/short account ratios have been pushed way up. Nearly seventy percent of accounts are still holding onto their long positions without letting go. In the midst of the crash, those who didn’t run and instead added more longs only know where the bottom is. Margin liquidity is being flushed out, and holdings have shrunk by twenty percent—what remains are tough bones. This kind of market structure is prepared for those bold enough to act. Buy the dip into longs, and then hold your ground.
