BTC Long/Short Ratio
How many Binance futures accounts are positioned long versus short, hourly — plus the same ratio for the biggest traders. Above 1 the crowd leans long; below 1 it leans short. Binance itself deletes this data after about 30 days, so our archive — growing since August 2026 — becomes the only free long-run record. Crowded one-sided positioning is fuel for squeezes in the opposite direction.
Binance's global long/short ACCOUNT ratio (every account counted once regardless of size) and the top-trader long/short POSITION ratio (weighted by position size, largest traders only), for BTCUSDT perpetual futures.
Retail accounts leaning heavily one way while top traders lean the other is the classic setup people watch this pair for. Extremes matter more than the level: a very crowded side is the side a squeeze punishes.
Fetched hourly from Binance's public futures data endpoints (500-hour window each pull; the overlap self-heals gaps). Stored as the raw ratio: 1.87 means 1.87 longs per 1 short.
Binance only — other venues' crowds may lean differently. The account ratio counts a 0.01 BTC account and a 1,000 BTC account equally; the top-trader ratio covers only the largest accounts. The source deletes data older than ~30 days, so points before August 2026 do not exist anywhere we can honestly obtain.
