$ZEC just went through a round of aggressive surging, but data from a certain exchange shows that the long position ratio has already reached 74%. What does this number mean? Market sentiment is already red hot.

Let’s look at two facts:

The vast majority of people have already entered the market. Here’s the question—who’s left to buy at these high levels?

The shorts are almost completely wiped out. Without counter-parties, where does the upward momentum come from?

At times like this, if you can stay calm, you might consider the following approach:

Clear positioning: This is a contrarian play, extremely high risk, only suitable for testing with a very small position.

Watch the price: When ZEC starts to stagnate and move sideways around $340, you can start building short positions in batches.

Target expectation: First watch the $330-$315 support zone, if it breaks, focus on $290.

Stop-loss discipline: If the price breaks above and holds $352, admit defeat and exit immediately.

Remember one principle: Only use money you can afford to lose to make a rational sniper move—don’t treat it as gambling.

Markets often top out when things are most crowded. When the data is right in front of you—longs are extremely crowded, shorts are exhausted—will you follow the herd or think contrarily? The greatest risk usually hides when everyone thinks “it’s a sure thing.”

Let the data speak and find those overlooked turning points within the trend.
