BTC is down 2.81% in four days and top traders barely blinked.
Price slid to $73,710 while the top-trader long/short ratio sits at 3.501, just under its 72-hour peak of 3.554. About 77.8% of those top accounts are still positioned long. The drop happened without any real de-risking: the crowd kept its bias and let price come to it.
Why it matters: when longs stay this crowded through a decline, the leverage has not cleared. That leaves room for a second leg down as stops stack up, and it also builds squeeze fuel if $73.7k holds.
Quick takeaway: treat 3.55 on that ratio as the pain line. While positioning stays pinned near the peak, fade strength instead of chasing it, and wait for long% to actually fall before trusting a bounce.

If top traders are still this long, who is actually selling here?
