What's the Top position long/short ratio indicator?
The Top position long/short ratio indicator visualises the ratio of total long position value to total short position value among the top 5% of traders with the largest open position value.
When long positions exceed short ones, it indicates investor optimism and confidence in the market's growth among the top 5% of traders with the largest open position value. This suggests a bullish sentiment.
Conversely, a dominance of short positions reflects a bearish sentiment, with traders expecting market declines due to concerns about economic or market stability.
