The sentiment indicators are flashing red. Over the past month, long positions have been stacking up across the board—retail and institutional players alike are betting big on upside moves. While bullish momentum can be attractive, this level of crowding typically signals a critical inflection point. When everyone's positioned the same way, the risk of a sharp reversal grows considerably. Smart money often profits precisely when consensus gets too lopsided. If you're holding longs, it might be prudent to review your risk management and consider taking profits on strength rather than averaging in further.

Here comes the same old "smart money" rhetoric, every time they say it, the market goes the opposite way.

Here we go again with this routine? Every time it's "the red light is on," but the coins are still rising. The truly smart money has already jumped in.

Bro, a crowded long position is a death trap.

Oh my goodness, it's the same old story... Every time they say it's crowded and dangerous, but what happens? How many real reversals have there been?

Here we go again with this set? Every time you say the crowding risk is high, but it still continues to rise. Will it really reverse this time?

The red light is flashing. Everyone going long will be doomed. I've seen this trick too many times.

It's the same story again. When everyone is united, it's time to run. There's nothing wrong with that, but the key is who can resist greed.

Here we go again with this set? Every time you say it's crowded and should reverse, but the one reversing is my account.

It's all my fault for being careless in selling, but I still have to take profits.

All piling up in the same direction, we're going to get hit with a wave, haha.
