The ratio has dropped to 0.9298, indicating bearish sentiment among traders, according to CoinDesk’s AI insights. This follows the forced closure or liquidation of long positions worth over $1.8 million since June 12, according to data source Coinglass. Exchanges liquidate positions due to margin shortages.
