When an asset’s long/short ratio is above 1, there are more long than short positions, indicating that traders are predominantly betting on a price increase.Conversely, as seen with XRP, a ratio below one indicates that most traders are positioning for a price drop. This reflects heightened bearish sentiment and growing expectations of continued downside movements.According to Coinglass, XRP last recorded a long/short ratio above one on April 22. This means it has been over two weeks since bullish positions outnumbered bearish ones in the XRP futures market.
