Looking at the chart from the stock exchange Bitfinex, traders closed down more than 28 percent of short positions since yesterday. However, «to open the champagne» too early — the number of longs also fell in the last 48 hours. «the Break» trading may be associated with the still-low level of volatility of Bitcoin.
Another reason — the mass fixing of profit by major players. Many people want to be safe and out of trades once Bitcoin important milestone. Note that the cryptocurrency is still not established well above $ 4,000, so talking about long-term growth while early.
Currently, the ratio of longs to shorts on Bitfinex is equal to 1.42. In other words, on each bitcoin short positions have 1,42 bitcoin long position.
