What Is the Long-Short Ratio? Why Can Prices Still Fall When There Are More Longs?

In the crypto futures market, many traders watch the Long-Short Ratio to gauge market sentiment. When data shows significantly more longs than shorts, some believe prices should rise. In practice, however, this is not necessarily the case, because the Long-Short Ratio reflects the distribution of positions under a specific statistical methodology, not the certain direction of future prices.

First, what is the Long-Short Ratio?

The Long-Short Ratio is generally used to compare the number of long and short acco

What Are Long Squeezes and Short Squeezes? Why Can Concentrated Positions Amplify Price Volatility?

In the cryptocurrency market, prices can sometimes surge or plunge suddenly over a short period, with sharp volatility even when there is no obvious new news. One reason behind this is that concentrated leveraged positions can trigger consecutive position closures or forced liquidations when prices move.

First, what is a short squeeze?

When many traders hold short positions, a sudden price increase may force some of them to buy to close their positions, while leveraged positions may also trig

What Is Leverage? Why Does Lowering Leverage Not Necessarily Mean Risk Is Low?

In crypto futures trading, leverage allows traders to control a larger notional position with less margin. But the higher the leverage, the greater the impact that an adverse price move usually has on margin. What really matters is not just the leverage setting, but the relationship between the actual position size and account equity.

First, what is leverage?

Leverage usually refers to the ratio between a position's notional value and the corresponding margin. For example, 1,000 USDT of margin for a notional posi

The people in the group who were shouting “send it” this morning are all playing dead now. This move is like someone suddenly yelling “The market inspectors are here!” just as the market is closing—everyone tramples each other before checking whether the goods are any good. Trading volume surged to 772.9M, showing panic sellers and dip buyers are battling it out between 0.0067 and 0.0118. The money isn’t fleeing; they’re just calling each other idiots.

💥Nvidia’s “guru” stumbles, teaching crypto a lesson:

Huang admits fault + the board launches an independent investigation; closed-door congressional questioning on November 18, and after-hours trading initially plunged nearly 6%. With no succession plan, a compliance probe could even slow AI chip deliveries.
Putting a valuation of several trillion dollars on one person is a classic single point of failure—one wobble, and the whole chain seeks safety.
By contrast, crypto has no guru, no VC pulling the strings, renounced permissions, and self-sustaining community cons

Why Can Falling Prices and Rising OI Signal Stronger Bearish Pressure, Yet Also Point to Rebound Risk?

In crypto derivatives markets, when prices continue to fall while open interest (OI) rises, many traders assume that short positions are increasing and the market may continue to weaken. But this is only one possible explanation; the two indicators alone cannot confirm the market’s direction.

First, what do falling prices and rising OI indicate?

This means that open contract exposure is increasing as prices fall. New long and short positions may be opening, or existing positions may be adj

$AVAX Currently at 8.513, up 7.66% over 24H. The 1H timeframe looks weak, with RSI at just 29.57 and low volume; the price remains below EMA20. The 4H timeframe is stronger, with RSI at 55.56. The two timeframes show a clear divergence, so don’t rush to interpret short-term volatility as a trend reversal. Watch these conditions: if the price can hold above resistance at 9.014, assess whether the rebound can continue; if it breaks below support at 7.814, beware of a deeper pullback. The key point to check in the next review is whether the price can hold above resistance at 9.014. The setup is i

I looked into Elysium’s first-day performance. As Hyperliquid’s first L2, its activity and technical metrics are quite impressive. Trading volume stands out compared with HyperEVM, while address activity and launch activity are buzzing, making for a strong start for a new L2. But compared with the community’s frenzy before launch, it’s clear the hype has cooled significantly. The boom, driven mainly by the launchpad and meme coins, has clearly left the market divided on its expectations, and early figures are inherently noisy. Whether it can attract sustainable users and deep liquidity remains
