How to read it for VELVET
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.

Binance and Bybit publish a new value every 5 minutes, fetched shortly afterwards. The previous 24 hours are backfilled from the exchanges when the server starts, so the chart is complete straight away. Ratios cover the top 100 perpetuals by volume. Compare all coins.
