"Top Traders" leverage positioning looks very different now.

Last week, shorts were leaning at roughly 27x while longs sat around 16x.

Now that has flattened out to:

15.36x longs

14.90x shorts

That is a big shift in liquidity dynamics.

The old short-heavy imbalance has been largely unwound, while long leverage has barely moved.

This is no longer the same crowded short setup it was before. The market has spent time cleaning that up.

And when positioning flattens out like this, the next move usually needs new aggression from one side, not just the remains of a squeeze.
