šŸ‹ Beyond fund flows, there’s another basic metric to understand: the long/short ratio for futures
Binance’s official futures statistics report account long/short ratios and top-trader position long/short ratios, with data collected at intervals as short as 5 minutes. These statistics cover Binance USDā“ˆ-M perpetual contracts.
The account long/short ratio counts traders, so it better reflects the sentiment of the broader trading crowd. The top-trader position long/short ratio compares position sizes, showing which side major accounts are betting on.
A quick look: $BTC . Current price: 81623.24, 24h: -1.34%.
Keep enough margin for futures trading, so one sudden price swing doesn’t wipe out your position.
