Bei BTC gibt es doppelt so viele Long- als Short-Positionen.

Well thats not good

Right more longs equal lower price. Market makers need them lickies, lickity split.

So BTC going down to liquidate the longs?

Can’t be accurate with how easily they’ve manipulated the price down since October

That has always been the case, there actually is a whole stable coin project based on taking advantage of this (ENA) long bias. The problem with coinglasses liquidation maps is that they are all implied and not real liquidations because the central exchanges do not publish liquidation prices so you have to infer this from the size and leverage of the trades.

I made one that is more accurate through hyperliquid that shows you the actual liquidity [https://www.wangr.com/whalewatch/liquidationmap/btc](https://www.wangr.com/whalewatch/liquidationmap/btc) because it’s open.
Hyperliquid also has more liquidity than many of the CEXes now and should be an accurate proxy.

You can also check the long short bias for whales which make up around 50-70% of the whole market on futures historically here: [https://www.wangr.com/whalewatch](https://www.wangr.com/whalewatch)
