This is what makes this metric key to monitor in investor behavior.
A higher ratio suggests bullish sentiment, while a lower one indicates bearish expectations.
Datascope’s historical data shows an inverse relationship between this ratio and the price of Bitcoin. Spikes in long positions usually precede price corrections, while most short positions often mark the bottom of the market, indicating potential recoveries.
Datascope currently maintains a short-term bearish view on BTC due to the recent spike in the long/short ratio, signaling excessive optimism. This pattern has historically led to market corrections, reinforcing the need for caution.

Bitcoin (BTC) managed to surge past the price mark of $89,000, as investors flock to the cryptocurrency amidst traditional market turbulence and increasing political uncertainties.
