ETH Long Bias Strengthens – Sentiment Hits Extreme Levels

Ethereum traders on Binance are overwhelmingly bullish — but that confidence could come at a cost if momentum shifts.

📆 Snapshot (May 17, 2025 – 03:00 UTC):

By Trader Accounts:

✅ Long Accounts: 70.89%

❌ Short Accounts: 29.11%

📊 Long/Short Ratio (Accounts): 2.44

💰 By Position Size:

✅ Long Positions: 74.91%

⚠️ What This Means:

ETH futures sentiment is heavily skewed toward longs — both in trader count and capital weight.

Such a sharp imbalance may lead to:

🔻 Liquidity traps

🔻 Long squeezes

🔺 Or a powerful continuation — if buyers keep control

Key takeaway:

The crowd and whales are aligned bullish… but when everyone’s on one side, volatility often follows.

If ETH slips below key levels, it could trigger a rapid shakeout.
