Top Altcoins Leading with Highest Long/Short Ratios
Cryptocurrency analytics firm Alphractal has released a new report highlighting trends in the altcoin derivatives market.
According to the data, Raydium (RAY) currently holds the highest Long/Short ratio among all tracked altcoins.
Other altcoins with notably high long positioning include Gitcoin (GTC), Contentos (COS), Polkadot (DOT), Alpha Finance Lab (ALPHA), Melania (MELANIA), Audius (AUDIO), and Rezolut (REZ).
Alphractal analysts pointed out that extremely high long/short ratios often pressure altcoin prices negatively, but under certain conditions, they can trigger market bottoms. In such cases, a short squeeze dynamic may develop if prices start to rise, forcing traders to close their longs and open shorts.

Open Interest Key to Next Move
However, Alphractal cautioned that for a true short squeeze to materialize, a significant increase in Open Interest volume would be necessary. At the moment, no major uptick in Open Interest has been observed across altcoins, suggesting that prices may continue to move sideways in the coming days.

Bitcoin Shows Fresh Bullish Signal
Separately, Alphractal CEO Joao Wedson noted an important development on the Bitcoin side. He reported that the Bitcoin/Stablecoin Reserve Ratio on Binance is once again flashing a bullish signal in the $76,000–$77,000 range—a zone that has historically preceded major Bitcoin rallies.
