It's illogical, but as bitcoin keeps dropping people seem to be adding up to their short positions: This parabolic rises in shorts are often followed by squeezes and painful liquidations of overleveraged traders. Now you can see that the environment is suitable for this as we have clean bullish divergences on major indicators and the price has just landed on a support (previous bottom). Of course the impulsive move down can invalidate them, but i think this is unlikely. If you're looking to short, I'd be more careful now. My longer term view hasn't changed, but the retrace to some higher level close to 7k is reasonable.

The top can be already in or we might continue the pump to 7050 (1.272 retrcement + bbands):
btc is illogical ... well said..... a rise to 8400 was expected instead a drop to 6400+. CBOE futures expired on 13th of june .... maybe after that we can see a small rise .... or cont. to lower

@flamezyz, I am watching the same thing. Actually, it looks like good indicator to notice accumulation - price stands still but shorts go up.

@flyinglight, it is a good indicator, but it's not ultimate. I've been rethinking this whole situation and if I were a big player, I'd want people to short at the bottom so I can go long, right? But if I squeeze the shorts and continue the dump the public will be afraid to short and I won't be able to enter a big position. So, the longs can continue going down and shorts up for some time. At the moment the ratio is 1 and it has more room to go. Historically it's been much lower:
