Crypto long short ratio

Shorting crypto means borrowing an amount of digital currency from a broker and selling it at market value . Once the value of the crypto has fallen, the trader then buys it and returns the borrowed amount, plus any interest, to the broker. The profit is the difference between the cost of buying and selling the crypto.

Long positions are where an investor gains exposure to cryptocurrency with the expectation that prices will rise at a later date , meaning that the asset can be sold for a profit. It is the opposite of a short position.
