Santiment: The Bitcoin long-short ratio surged to 2.23, reaching a new high for the year, which may indicate a short-term correction
The crypto sentiment platform Santiment published an analysis stating that the ratio of positive to negative comments about Ethereum has shifted from a strong FOMO sentiment in late April to a clear FUD sentiment now. Harvard University completely liquidated its $87 million Ethereum ETF one quarter after buying in; researchers from the Ethereum Foundation announced their resignations; and David Hoffman publicly stated his exit from the Ethereum project. The Santiment team interprets this trend as a mildly bullish signal, similar to the significant rise that followed the mid-2023 market sentiment low.
Despite the panic sentiment, the number of non-bearish wallets for Ethereum remains as high as 192.92 million, more than three times Bitcoin's approximately 59 million. The activity in DeFi and staking trading surged at the beginning of the year and has since normalized, but the creation of new wallets continues to maintain a healthy growth rate. Fundamental data such as holders and activity do not support the claim that "the Ethereum network is dying." Additionally, the long-to-short ratio for Bitcoin has reached 2.23, the highest level since 2026. Previously, the highest daily long-to-short ratios often resulted in short-term price corrections, while extremely low short ratios indicate a local bottom. The current optimism stands in stark contrast to the outflow of short funds from ETFs, thus caution is warranted.
