📊 Positioning divergence forming.

Retail long/short ratios on Binance, OKX, and Bybit are all above 1.3 - a clear bullish tilt at the retail level.

Aggregate market-wide long/short, however, sits close to flat at 51%/49%.

The takeaway: retail conviction is concentrated on one side while the broader market hasn't confirmed it.

This kind of setup has historically raised volatility risk on the next directional move, without indicating which way it resolves.

Execution-relevant note: crowded one-sided retail leverage is exactly the environment where wider risk parameters and structured position sizing matter most.

Stress test your setup before the crowd unwinds
