Long/Short Ratio
The ratio of accounts or positions long versus short a perpetual. Extremes flag crowded trades that often resolve violently.
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: when the big book leans opposite to retail, the big book is usually better informed over the next few hours. 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.
