I was asked: When the long/short ratio is high, does that mean the market is bullish?
I usually answer this way: “Top traders” here refers to the top 20% of Binance users ranked by margin balance—not specifically institutions or whales. The account long/short ratio counts traders, so it more closely reflects the sentiment of the majority; the top traders’ long/short positions ratio measures position size, showing which side large amounts of capital are betting on.
