$BTC Large traders' long/short position ratio: 1.53 (60.5% long / 39.5% short).
Let's break this figure down.
Rather than the ratio at any one moment, the direction it's moving in is often more telling: whether top accounts are adding to or reducing their long positions can say more than how high or low the number is.
The long/short ratio is often seen as a sentiment gauge: when one side gets especially crowded, a price move against that side can trigger a cascade of stop-losses.
Several data points that corroborate one another are more reliable than any single one, but even more indicators can't provide a definitive answer.
