Here are a few paraphrased versions of that sentence:

1. 61% of traders either missed the breakout or shorted it — the poll says it all.

2. According to the poll, 61% of traders didn’t catch the breakout — they either stayed out or went short.

3. Poll results show 61% of traders were on the wrong side — missed the breakout or shorted it.

4. The breakout caught 61% of traders off guard — most either missed it or bet against it.

5. As the poll shows, 61% of traders weren’t ready — they went short or didn’t catch the move.
