$ETH The platform-wide account long/short ratio is 3.52 (77.9% long / 22.1% short).
At first, I thought a long/short ratio above 1 meant there were more long positions than short positions across the whole market. It took me a while to understand: the account long/short ratio counts accounts. A small account and a whale each count as one, so it’s a different thing from whether there are more long or short positions across the whole market—the total amount of longs and shorts is always equal.
A long/short ratio above 1 doesn’t mean the price will rise immediately, just as a bearish bias doesn’t mean it will fall immediately. The ratio describes positioning bias, not market direction.
Indicators can be inaccurate, but risk management must never be neglected: deciding in advance what to do if your judgment is wrong matters more than guessing correctly.
