BTC Binance and Bybit accounts: daily mean long share; ratio derived from that share. Long and short percentages count accounts, not position size. L/S = long share / (1 − long share), not the mean of observation ratios or a closing ratio.
Newest UTC date first; today's unfinished day is excluded. Unavailable means no usable recorded share for that venue and date, or a history read failed. Gaps stay missing; exchanges are never averaged together. At 100% long, the L/S ratio is unavailable because short share is zero.

About the BTC long/short ratio
What is the BTC long/short ratio?
Binance accounts: the share of all accounts with an open position that are net long. Bybit accounts: the share of all accounts with an open position that are net long. Gate accounts: the share of all accounts with an open position that are net long. Bitget accounts: the share of all accounts with an open position that are net long. Gate top trader accounts: the share of top trader accounts that are net long. Gate top trader positions: the share of top traders' combined position size that is long. HTX top trader accounts: the share of top trader accounts that are net long. HTX top trader positions: the share of top traders' combined position size that is long. HTX excludes locked accounts holding both long and short positions. For each denominator, long share divided by short share gives the ratio: 60% long is 1.50.
How to read it for BTC
Account ratios count people, not money, and retail accounts lean long most of the time, so the level alone says little. Look at changes (the crowd piling in or out) and at divergence between top traders and all accounts. Some traders fade extreme readings, since a crowded side can be squeezed, but that often fails. Not financial advice.
How often it updates
New observations are fetched every 5 minutes, with available 24-hour history backfilled from the exchanges. Coverage varies by exchange and series; missing current observations can reflect absent feed coverage, delays or expired readings. Compare all coins.
