Position Change Negative

Definition

A position change negative indicates that a significant number of market participants are reducing their holdings or opening short positions in a particular asset. This metric often reflects a shift in investor sentiment from bullish to bearish, suggesting an expectation of future price declines. It can be observed through changes in open interest for derivatives, a decrease in wallet balances, or an increase in assets held on exchanges for selling. Such a change signals diminishing confidence in the asset’s near-term price trajectory.
