Bitcoin's long positions are contracting across major venues—and this isn't coincidental. Historically, when we see this kind of positioning shift, major market moves tend to follow. The momentum's already turning beneath the surface, even if price action hasn't fully caught up yet.

The setup matters more than you think. So here's the real question: are you positioned to ride this, or are you betting against the flow?

I think this wave really depends on the holding structure. A shrinkage in long positions isn't necessarily a bad thing; it might just be a shakeout setup.

The bears are gathering. Is this really happening? I bet there will still be people buying the dip this time.

You guys have said these words so many times before, always saying "big moves are coming," but what happened? --- As for the shrinking of the bulls... to be honest, I'm a bit panicked, but not to the point of --- Damn, is this really different this time or are we just getting chopped again? --- Follow the flow vs. reverse operation, no one can answer this multiple-choice question accurately --- Momentum that can't be seen with the naked eye? Fine, I'll just wait here to be proven wrong --- The positioning shift, this technical analysis facade, I've been tired of it for a long time --- The problem is I don't even know if my positioning is in the right direction --- It's that feeling of "seeing things you can't see," and every time it makes me lose money
