Positioning
Positioning describes how traders or groups of market participants are exposed to a market. It can include information about long and short exposure, leverage, open interest, funding and other derivatives data.
Why it matters to you
Price tells you what the market has done. Positioning can provide clues about how traders are exposed while it is happening. This can help identify crowded conditions, leverage build ups and situations where traders may be vulnerable to rapid position unwinding.
