Binance short and long represent two important positions preferred during futures and margin trading transactions. Accordingly, taking/opening a short position means starting a transaction thinking that the market will fall, while a long position means starting a transaction thinking that the prices will rise.

When you choose a short position, you win when the market declines. When you choose a long position, you gain profit from the rise in the market.

Binance futures trading is preferred by both people who want to make money in a short time and those who want to protect their money. For example, as a result of your technical analysis, you predicted that the market would fall. In this case, you either withdraw your money and choose a safe financial instrument, or you make a profit from the decline by taking a short position.
