BTC ETH Let’s analyze some data: Contract positions: On Binance perpetuals alone, a single trading pair saw an additional 10,000 BTC positions added between 69-71, worth 800 million. The battle between right-side long traders and left-side top-pickers is extremely intense. Long vs. short ratio: Currently, BTC’s long-to-short ratio has dropped below 1 for the first time recently, indicating that left-side shorts have fully entered the market. Spot leverage data: The long funds that bottomed out at 66 have now closed their positions again, marking another successful swing trade. Summary: Both right-side longs and left-side shorts have fully committed, and we’ve reached a point where one side must surrender. If you’re still expecting consolidation, this is an ideal point to open shorts.
