Does a high long-short ratio mean the market is bullish?
Here, “large traders” refers to the top 20% of Binance users ranked by margin balance—not specifically institutions or whales.
The long-short ratio reflects how positions are distributed, not the direction of prices. When one side becomes too crowded, a move in the opposite direction may trigger a cascade of stop-losses.
