Long/short ratio is taker buy vs sell volume (USD) of the latest candle for the selected window. Live candles update about every 10 seconds.

BTC Long/Short RatioLoading…

As of the latest update, the BTC long/short ratio over the last 1 hour is 0.861 — taker sell volume outweighs buy volume. Across the market, 326 of 748 tracked coins show more taker buying than selling over this window.

Long vs short: reading the ratio

The table above measures longs vs shorts for 450+ futures coins from taker buy/sell volume — the market orders that actually hit the order book. A ratio above 1 means aggressive buying outweighed aggressive selling over the selected window; below 1, sellers were hitting bids harder. Windows run from 5 minutes to 24 hours, so you can read the ratio as a fast sentiment pulse or a full-day lean, and the per-exchange columns show whether pressure is market-wide or concentrated on one venue.

Accounts, positions and taker flow

Long/short data comes in three distinct flavors, and they often disagree. Account-based ratios — like the Binance true retail long accounts metric — count how many accounts are net long versus short, so a thousand small longs outweigh one large short. Top-trader position ratios weight only the largest accounts' open positions, tracking what sophisticated money is doing. Coinfuty's ratio is the third kind: a taker buy/sell ratio built from executed volume, which captures real-time aggression rather than standing positions.

The flavors complement each other. Retail account ratios skew persistently long and move slowly; top-trader ratios reveal positioning but not timing; taker flow turns first, because it measures who is paying the spread to get in or out right now. When taker flow flips against a crowded account-based lean, that divergence is often where the interesting trades live.

Frequently asked questions

What is the long/short ratio in crypto?

The long/short ratio compares bullish and bearish activity in a futures market. Depending on the source it counts accounts, open positions or traded volume — Coinfuty measures taker buy volume against taker sell volume, so the ratio reflects which side is aggressively executing rather than passively waiting in the book.

How is Coinfuty's long/short ratio calculated?

For each coin and window, the ratio divides taker buy volume in USD by taker sell volume over the most recent candle of that window — 5 minutes up to 24 hours. Values update about every ten seconds, and the per-exchange columns compute the same ratio from each venue's own volume.

What does a long/short ratio above 1 mean?

A ratio above 1 means more taker volume hit the ask than the bid — buyers were the aggressors over that window. It signals short-term bullish pressure, but an extreme reading can also mark a crowded side: when everyone who wanted to buy already has, the market runs out of fuel in that direction.

What is the difference between account ratio and taker buy/sell ratio?

An account ratio, such as Binance's true retail long/short accounts, counts heads: every account is one vote regardless of size. A taker buy/sell ratio weighs dollars: only executed market orders count, so large aggressive trades dominate. Account ratios describe how the crowd is positioned; taker ratios describe who is acting right now.

How many traders are short Bitcoin right now?

The BTC row of the table shows it as a ratio: taker sell volume against taker buy volume over the selected window, per exchange and aggregated. A Bitcoin short lean (BTC short bias) — ratio below 1 — means more dollars hit the bid than the ask in that window. For account counts rather than volume, the BTC long/short page charts the exchange account ratios alongside Coinfuty's taker ratio.

Can I see longs vs shorts per exchange?

Yes. The table breaks the ratio down by exchange with a filterable column set, and every coin's detail page charts its long/short ratio history per venue — useful for spotting when one exchange's traders lean hard against the rest of the market.
