The Futures account Long/Short ratio is tilted toward Long

Data time: 11:00 on 17/10/2026, Vietnam time (UTC+7).

Binance Futures data shows that 71.60% of accounts are long and 28.40% are short, corresponding to a long/short ratio of approximately 2.5211.

This is an account ratio based on Binance’s classification; it does not mean that 71.60% of the total money in the market is betting on prices rising. A ratio tilted toward long does not guarantee that prices will rise; if prices move against the crowded position, liquidation risks may increase.

This indicator should be considered alongside price, OI, and funding.

Nearly $5B in Bitcoin options open interest is concentrated at the $70K and $72K strikes on Deribit.

Together, those levels represent around 18% of the exchange’s total BTC options open interest, with calls significantly exceeding puts.

The market angle is positioning: $70K–$72K has become a major bullish target and potential volatility zone.

The key risk is interpretation. Open interest is not a guaranteed price forecast, and some positions may be hedges or spreads rather than outright bullish bets.
