Understanding the Long/Short Ratio and Total Trading Volume of Cryptocurrency

Madman says...

Yesterday's article talked about three indicators that affect the price of cryptocurrency. From the comments and questions, the most frequently asked was how to look at the long/short ratio. Madman wrote about how to look at the long/short ratio yesterday, but many people still asked. This indicates that people's learning and reading habits are not very good. About the long/short ratio, you can refer to yesterday's article. The specific method is to log in to tradingview.com and enter "btcusdlongs/btcusdshorts" in the search box.

Also, many investors ask how to see the total trading volume of a coin. Madman recommends the website coinmarketcap.com, where you can find information on all Bitcoin transactions.

Yesterday, Madman saw a picture online that illustrated the "annus horribilis." Since 2003, the returns on all assets have been decreasing each year, and 2018 was the worst year for investments in the last 15 years. This includes Bitcoin, which has dropped from $20,000 to $4,000, a decrease of 80%. The median (average) decline for all cryptocurrencies from their highs is 95.6%, meaning that if you invested $10,000, you would only have $500 left. However, if you have spare money to invest, there is still hope for recovery. Of course, if you had invested in Bitcoin in 2017, you would have earned a 1700% return, making it the top asset. This demonstrates that return and risk are directly proportional.

2018 is over, and many people are relieved. However, we should not have too high expectations for 2019, at least not in the first half of the year. Madman recommends holding cash and gold to hedge against risk. The price of gold is continuing to rise due to this risk-aversion. Remember, don't make any rash decisions during the wrong time.

Market Analysis

Adapting to the changes without changing can give you opportunities for excessive returns in the future.

In terms of Bitcoin, it experienced a manipulative surge, but until it surpasses $4000, it is recommended to wait and observe.

Ethereum is the leading coin in terms of gains and may lead the market upwards if it breaks through the $140 resistance level.

Ripple is showing signs of recovery but with low trading volume.

Litecoin and EOS are likely to experience volatility and follow the market trend.

Cardano may continue to hold, with a resistance level at 0.044.

The overall market is likely to continue to oscillate within a range. As for altcoins, a coin with high consensus may show potential for a breakout but it is important not to chase after large gains.
