#数字货币市场洞察 $ZEC After this round of surge, Bitmex data shows that long positions have soared to 74%. Do you think this is a signal for further rally? It might be just the opposite.



Crowded consensus is often dangerous. Now that almost everyone is on the long side, who will be left to take the other side of the trade? Most of the shorts have already been liquidated, so the rally lacks opposing positions to provide fuel. This kind of imbalance has repeatedly proven to be a turning signal in history.

If you intend to take a contrarian approach, a few points need to be made clear:

This is a countertrend move, with extremely high risk, so only use a very small position to test the waters. If the price shows signs of stalling around $340, you can consider gradually building short positions. The target is the support zone between $330 and $315; if it breaks, it could head straight for $290. But you must set a clear stop-loss—if the price breaks above $352 and holds, exit immediately, don’t stubbornly hold on.

Remember this iron rule: use a loss you can afford to test your judgment, not your entire net worth to bet on a direction.

Market tops often appear when sentiment is at its peak. When data shows an extreme long-short ratio, will you join the crowd in celebration or remain calm and observant? The truly deadly risks are usually hidden in the consensus of “everyone thinks this way.”

74% long positions? That’s just ridiculous, feels like things are about to change.

74% long positions... This number looks a bit hot to handle. From past experience, this is exactly when things can easily move in the opposite direction. But then again, very few people actually dare to go against the trend; most just follow the crowd. Trying with a small position is fine, but setting a stop loss is key—don’t get greedy.

74% long positions? Ha, that's the smell of a top. I know all too well the feeling when there's no one left to take over the bag.

74% bullish? That's just absurd, is everyone really lining up to catch the bag?

74% long really is a pretty good surfing entry, but the problem is that the waves have already been ridden, and now only the bag holders are left waiting. I've seen too many times when the opposing side gets completely exhausted and the market reverses. Trying a small short position sounds good, but I'm just afraid of a breakout above $352 that would trigger a stop loss and kick me out—feels worse than drinking bitter wine. That said, these moments of extreme consensus are actually the best times to calmly observe. Don’t get hijacked by emotions; we should use the smallest cost to validate our judgment. That’s the true mindset for market making.
