Yesterday, bearish sentiment on MEXC was driven by longs taking profits and closing positions. The long/short ratio has now reached 2.03.
Many people see this data and jump straight to one of two conclusions:
Some think longs are in control and the market will keep rising.
Others think the long side is too crowded and the market could wick downward at any moment.
But in my view, what really matters isn’t how high the long/short ratio is—it’s what price does next.
Current market snapshot:
📊 ETH long/short ratio: 2.03
📉 OI: moving sideways at low levels
📈 1-minute Delta: positive, but with only small fluctuations
Here are three details to watch next:
🔹 If price keeps falling while Delta continues to strengthen, be alert to aggressive buying being absorbed by sellers.
🔹 If price stops making new lows and Delta begins to expand steadily, watch for signs that selling pressure is easing.
🔹 If price rises while OI increases moderately, take a closer look at whether new positions are supporting the rebound.
A crowded long side doesn’t mean an immediate drop; positive Delta doesn’t mean an immediate rise.
The trading signal that really matters is how price responds to capital flows.
If it were you, would you be more wary of ETH longs getting squeezed, or expect ETH to lead a rebound?
