Long/Short Ratio

The ratio of accounts or positions long versus short a perpetual. Extremes mark crowded trades.

The long/short ratio measures positioning in a perpetual futures market: how much of the open book (by accounts or by position size) is long versus short. Binance publishes it two ways, for all accounts and for its top traders by size, and the divergence between the two is often more useful than either alone: it shows whether the largest accounts lean the same way as everyone else or against them. Extreme readings mark crowded trades; combined with funding and open interest they flag squeeze risk. We show both series plus the taker buy/sell aggressor flow on every symbol page.
