Just jotting this down: $ETH Large Traders’ Long/Short Ratio: 1.81 (64.4% long / 35.6% short), compared with 1.86 an hour ago.
People often ask how to interpret the Large Traders’ Long/Short Ratio. Here’s how I understand it.
This ratio is updated in 5-minute intervals and only covers large traders in Binance USDT-margined perpetual contracts; it doesn’t represent the entire market.
A ratio above 1 doesn’t mean the price is about to rise, and a ratio below 1 doesn’t mean it’s about to fall. It describes positioning bias, not market direction.
Unusually extreme readings often signal greater volatility. At times like these, it’s better to reduce leverage rather than add to your position.
