#DOGE Long-short ratio at 18.29%; crowded shorts conceal squeeze risk
Concentration risk occurs when a large number of traders pile into the same direction, so even a small move the other way can trigger a wave of forced position closures. DOGE’s long-short ratio has fallen to 18.29%; on ZEC, 1,110 people are short, while the shares of profitable long and short positions are stuck at 44.47% and 40.81%, respectively. The divergence is already evident on the 15-minute timeframe.
I’d wait and see. With this kind of crowded-short setup, only a rapid rebound in price would trigger short covering. Even if the long-short data looks overwhelmingly one-sided on paper, you shouldn’t blindly follow the crowd and place a trade.
