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 high proportion of short positions, some believe prices should continue to fall; when the proportion of long positions is high, others think an upward trend is more likely to continue.

But the market does not determine prices simply by taking a vote among traders. The long/short ratio reflects the distribution of positions or accounts under a specific methodology, not a direct answer about future p

How Should You Manage Position Size? How Can Scientific Position Sizing Control Risk and Generate Steady Profits?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people study the direction of BTC price movements every day, but rarely seriously consider one question: even if you're right, how much capital should you commit?

In fact, many traders don't lose because they misjudge the direction, but because they manage their position size poorly.

Suppose your trading account has 1000 USDT. If you put all your funds into every trade, a sudden market move could cause severe losses to your account. Even if the ma

What Is a Short Squeeze? Why Can It Cause Prices to Rise Rapidly in a Short Time?

In the cryptocurrency market, prices sometimes suddenly rise in a short time. Even when market sentiment was broadly bearish beforehand, prices may quickly reverse. One possible reason is a short squeeze.

Understanding this mechanism can help traders analyze sudden market moves, but remember: a short squeeze is not the only cause of every sharp rally, and a large number of short positions alone does not mean one is imminent.

First, what is a short squeeze?

Short sellers generally hope prices will fall so they

Many derivatives traders have had this experience: they correctly predicted the market’s overall direction, yet a brief bout of sharp volatility suddenly forced their positions to be liquidated.

Why does this happen?

First, excessive leverage is the most common cause. The higher the leverage, the greater the impact of price fluctuations on margin. Even a brief move in the opposite direction can quickly hit the liquidation price.

Second, market liquidity affects actual execution results. When a large number of sell or buy orders suddenly hit the market, the order book can quickly thin out, m

Consecutive losses are when many derivatives traders are most likely to lose confidence.

Some people start doubting their trading system after two or three losses. Others, after a losing streak, rush to change indicators or entry conditions, or even keep increasing their position size, hoping to quickly earn back their losses.

But the question is: Do consecutive losses really mean a strategy has failed?

Not necessarily. To determine whether a trading strategy has failed, you need to consider at least five factors.

First, review your trade sample. Three to five losses do not prove that a st

What exactly is the difference between limit orders and market orders? Many people get it wrong from the start

In cryptocurrency trading, placing an order may look like simply clicking buy or sell, but different order types affect how trades are executed, price control, and execution risk. Understanding limit and market orders is an important step toward building trading discipline.

First, limit orders: prioritize price control.

A limit order lets you specify the highest price you’re willing to pay to buy or the lowest price you’re willing to accept to sell. For example, if Bitcoin is curre

When many people see Bitcoin plunge, their first reaction is to buy the dip. But what is truly dangerous is often not missing the absolute bottom, but rushing to invest all your funds before the market has stopped falling.

So, how can you tell whether the market is truly nearing a bottom?

First, watch the downward momentum. If the price continues to make new lows but the pace of the decline clearly slows, selling pressure may be easing. Second, watch key support levels. If the price tests the same area multiple times without falling much further, there may be some buyin

In BTC trading, there is a market phenomenon worth paying close attention to: after the price falls below an important support level, an area that previously supported price increases may instead become resistance during the next rebound.

Why does this change happen?

First, the confidence of existing buyers changes. When BTC finds support in a certain price range multiple times, many traders choose to buy there. But once the price decisively falls below that range, those who had been waiting to buy may start holding back, weakening buying pressure in the market.

Second, trapped traders star
