How can two long/short ratios for the same contract show one leaning long and the other short?
The total number of long and short positions across the entire market is always equal. So, an account long/short ratio above 1 means short positions are concentrated among fewer accounts, with each short account holding a larger position on average.
Here’s the key: don’t treat the long/short ratio as a trading signal. It’s safer to consider it alongside open interest, funding rates, and price.
By the way: $BTC is currently priced at 78572.82, up 1.91% over 24 hours.
Don’t use borrowed money to trade futures. Losses can pile up faster than you expect.
