Cryptocurrency analytics company Alphractal has published a new analysis of the altcoin market.
According to the company’s data, RAY has the highest Long/Short ratio among all altcoins. Following RAY, GTC, COS, DOT, ALPHA, MELANIA, AUDIO and REZ are among the other altcoins where long positions are higher than shorts.
The Alphractal team noted that excessively high long/short ratios generally negatively impact altcoin performance, but can also occasionally trigger price bottoms. According to the company, this can create a short squeeze dynamic, with traders closing long positions and opening short positions when prices start to rise again.
However, it was emphasized that an increase in Open Interest volume is required for this scenario to occur. Alphractal predicts that there is currently no significant increase in Open Interest in altcoins, so prices may move sideways in the coming days.

On the other hand, Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson announced that an important signal has re-emerged on the Bitcoin side. Wedson stated that the Bitcoin/Stablecoin Reserve Ratio on Binance has given a signal in the $76,000–$77,000 range again, reminding that this level has predicted major Bitcoin rallies in the past. Wedson used the following statements in his statement:
“This behavior suggests that stablecoin reserves are growing faster than Bitcoin reserves, suggesting that there is ample capital ready to flow into crypto assets. The same signal appeared after the ‘Coronadump’ in 2020, at the end of 2022, and now again. In all of these instances, the Bitcoin price reacted positively.”
