🐋 $MAGMA Platform-wide account long/short ratio: 0.47 (long 31.9% / short 68.1%).
If you want to know how the big players are betting, many people look at the long/short ratio—but the two methods of calculating it measure different things.
It’s common for the platform-wide account long/short ratio to rise during a downturn. A common explanation is that many small accounts like to buy the dip.
A long/short ratio above 1 doesn’t mean prices are about to rise, just as a ratio below 1 doesn’t mean they’re about to fall. It describes positioning bias, not price direction.
The same reading can mean very different things in different market conditions, so don’t blindly apply a rule of thumb from a single example.
