Bitcoin longs just reached extreme levels on major platforms—Bitfinex holdings hit their peak since February 2024. Counterintuitively, this pattern rarely emerges during market euphoria. Instead, it signals something different entirely: mounting price pressure, fragile confidence, and quiet early positioning by informed traders. Every time this zone gets tested, the market dynamics follow a recognizable playbook—one worth paying attention to.

Going long again in an extreme way, this tactic is getting really old. Insiders must have been lurking already.

Here we go again with this routine. Every time extreme leverage accumulates, they say "smart money is positioning," but what happens? We retail investors still get cut as usual.

Data shows that this wave of extreme long positions will last a bit longer; every time it hits a historical low, it plays out the same way... However, miners are paying too much in gas fees and will eventually collapse.
