Despite Bitcoin and the altcoin's market surge, institutional behavior has been building up heavy short positions in the market. The past couple weeks, we have seen very little buy activity from big money while the short contracts are piling up. Bitcoin is down 0.73% on the day at the time of writing this.
The amount of short contracts is now higher than last December which is a big warning sign for investors.

It seems more likely that price will not reach the highs again until it falls considerably in value. If the general shift from these big players is lesser longs and giant shorts, we might have to accept the fact that bitcoin will fall into another downtrend.
