At lunchtime, I saw that among accounts across the platform for $XRP , 73.1% were long and 26.9% were short (long/short ratio: 2.81 → 2.72).
The market has a quirky habit: when everyone crowds onto one side, it tends to move the other way.
Sentiment holding in the same direction over time is more telling than a single day's figures.

Just my personal opinion—don't use it as a basis for trading.
