Analyst: Some Indicators Worth Watching

Due to expectations of a regulatory easing environment with the Republican control of Congress, market FOMO sentiment is high, and analysts generally believe that cryptocurrencies will continue to trend upward in the short term.

However, Shubh Varma, co-founder and CEO of Hyblock Capital, pointed out: “One noteworthy indicator is the True Retail Long percentage, which is unusually low at only 40%, sitting in the 20th percentile over the past 90 days. Additionally, the Open Interest (OI) is in the 99th percentile. This dynamic echoes the situation on November 7, when the True Retail Long percentage was even lower, at the 12th percentile, while OI was also high. Historically, when OI is high and retail long positions are low, it often leads to short positions being squeezed out, resulting in significant upward movement.”Moreover, data from the derivatives market shows that top traders continue to favor long positions, with the average leverage difference between longs and shorts exceeding +10 again, which is a strong bullish indicator.

Analysts explain that typically, this leverage pattern occurs after a price decline, but this time it has appeared after a significant price increase. If long leverage continues to increase following Bitcoin’s recent surge, this deviation may indicate sustained bullish momentum.Varma suggests using pullbacks as buying opportunities and states that given the strength of this rebound, buying on dips could provide favorable entry points. However, he warns traders to closely monitor indicators such as retail long positions and leverage imbalances, which can help investors assess market risks and potential turning points. Additionally, other factors such as fundamentals and policy should also be considered.
