What Is the Long-Short Ratio? Why Can Prices Still Rise When Shorts Seem to Have the Upper Hand?

In the cryptocurrency market, many traders pay attention to the long-short ratio. When data shows a higher proportion of shorts, some believe prices should continue to fall; when the proportion of longs is higher, others think an uptrend is more likely to continue.

But markets do not simply decide prices by taking a vote. The long-short ratio reflects the distribution of positions or accounts under a particular methodology, not a direct answer about future prices.

First, what exactly is the long

Why Can a Trading Strategy With a High Win Rate Still Lose Money in the End?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people pay particular attention to the win rate. Winning eight out of ten consecutive trades looks quite impressive. But if the account is still losing money overall, the problem may not be the win rate, but the amount gained and lost on each trade.

Suppose a trader makes 10 trades, 8 of which are profitable, earning 10 USDT each; the other 2 lose 50 USDT each.

The 8 winning trades bring in 80 USDT, while the 2 losing trades result in a loss of 100 USDT. Even without considering fees

Gate IPO Access Meets Anthropic: Can Investors Get Early Access to One of AI’s Biggest Opportunities?

Before, access to major private AI companies was largely limited to institutional investors, venture capital firms, and wealthy individuals. Now, Gate is opening another potential route for eligible users to participate in Anthropic’s public offering using USDT. This is an important development because it connects cryptocurrency-based funds with traditional stock market opportunities.

But what exactly is Gate IPO Access, how does the Anthropic offering work, and wha

Jensen Huang Resigns: Is NVIDIA Facing Its Biggest Leadership Crisis, and What Comes Next for the Global AI Market?
The resignation of Jensen Huang as NVIDIA's President, CEO, and board member has sent shockwaves across the global technology and financial markets.

‌#ETHBrieflyFallsBelow2000

While Ethereum’s dip below the $2,000 mark might appear as a brief flash crash on a chart, it is, in reality, a trial by fire occurring amidst a macro-level storm, institutional capital outflows, and the unwinding of leveraged positions. ETH has retreated to the $1,932 level, marking a loss of approximately 5.7% over the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Bitcoin is hovering around $68,768, struggling to maintain its position near the $70,000 threshold. There is a widespread bleed across the market, and the atmosphere is notably tense.

Tried to warn you guys, and I hope it got a couple of you guys into a better spot today.

If you are in a bad spot, don't be too hard on yourself. Focus on the here and now, not what you lost.

This will end up being a massive opportunity. If you missed all the big runners after the summer, this will eventually bring another round of similar, if not bigger, opportunities.

Just don't get chopped up by jumping in too early. Stay patient, mark your levels of interest and most importantly, let a setup form first. Don't blindly jump in.

Why can following the popular direction be more dangerous when funding rates are high?

In the cryptocurrency market, when a coin keeps rising, discussions on social platforms grow increasingly heated, and perpetual contract funding rates continue to climb, many traders may think: Since so many people are bullish, there may still be an opportunity to get in now.

But the more crowded the market becomes, the more important it is to pay attention to risk. A high funding rate is not a definitive signal that the market is about to reverse, but it may be a reminder that holding costs and market exp

What Is Trendline Trading? How Can You Identify a Valid Trendline, and Why Might the Same Trendline Be Broken Repeatedly?

In cryptocurrency trading, trendlines are an intuitive technical analysis tool. By connecting a series of price highs or lows, traders can observe the market’s overall direction and look for potential entry and exit opportunities. But trendlines are not unbreakable boundaries. No matter how neatly they are drawn, they cannot guarantee that prices will move as expected.
