BTC Longs less BTC Shorts on Bitfinex

I see this bear scenario to be more probable since there was no signs of reversal in the downward trend of Long/Short ratio.
It has been going down since 2018 started. In August 2018 it has finally shifted to the negative numbers.
Why would it suddenly jump up now?
