LongShort Changes are in percentage points (pp) of the long account share: +1.2 means the share of the selected group's accounts with a net long position rose by 1.2 percentage points; each account counts once. The bar and changes follow the metric picked above. Missing Binance data for a listed coin shows delayed (the latest point is older than 20 minutes); coins not listed on Binance show —.

Top trader accounts and positions ratios, per exchange and back to 2020, are on each coin's long/short page: BTC, ETH, SOL, or pick a coin in the table above.
Binance historical hourly positioning extremes: BTC historical extremes, ETH historical extremes, SOL historical extremes. Global accounts, top accounts and top position shares are ranked separately by observed UTC date.
The long/short ratios, precisely
- Binance accounts
- Of all Binance USDⓈ-M futures accounts with an open position on the contract, the share whose net position is long. Each account counts once regardless of size (Binance's global long/short account ratio). Funding vs account crowding finds exact Binance/Bybit contracts where the majority of accounts and the quoted funding payers point in opposite directions.
- Binance top trader accounts
- The same count for Binance's top 20% of futures users by margin balance only: the share of those accounts whose net position is long (Binance's top trader long/short ratio, accounts).
- Binance top trader positions
- For the same top 20%, the share of their combined open position that is long, so bigger positions weigh more (Binance's top trader long/short ratio, positions).
- Top traders vs all accounts
- Top trader positions long minus all accounts long, in percentage points. Negative means the big money is less long than the crowd; positive, more long. The whale vs retail delta page ranks every coin's reading against its own past year.
- Binance taker buys
- The share of the last 5 minutes' taker volume that bought: traders who crossed the spread to buy, against those who crossed it to sell. It is flow, not positioning, and moves fast.
- Bybit, Gate and Bitget accounts
- The share of each exchange's users holding a long position versus a short one on the USDT perpetual. Like the Binance accounts figure they count users, not money. Gate and HTX also publish top trader ratios, shown on each coin's page. The positioning gaps across exchanges page ranks the coins whose exchanges disagree most on the same ratio.
This page shows, for the top 100 perpetuals by volume, the Binance long/short ratio of all accounts, Binance top traders by account and by position size, how far the top traders sit from the crowd, the taker buy share, and the long/short ratios of Bybit, Gate, Bitget and HTX users, with 1h, 4h and 24h changes. Positioning figures show the share of longs; the ratio is longs divided by shorts, so 60% long is a ratio of 1.50. Taker buy share measures buy volume as a share of total taker volume, not positioning.
The exchanges publish a new value every 5 minutes; this page requests data every 5 minutes when the exchange responds for the top 100 perpetuals by 24h volume on Binance and Bybit (the top 50 on Gate, Bitget and HTX) and refreshes itself every 30 seconds. The previous 24 hours are backfilled from the exchanges on start, to populate changes and the per-coin 24h charts when data is available. Coin pages also chart the history back to 2020 for Binance and Bybit, and to 2023 for Gate (top 100 coins by open interest).
Read with care. Account ratios count people, not dollars, and retail accounts are usually long-biased, so readings of 60-75% long are common and not a signal by themselves. Watch changes and divergence: top traders leaning the other way from the crowd, or a sudden shift in one coin. Some traders treat extreme readings as contrarian (a crowded long can feed a long squeeze), but that often fails. Not financial advice.
Long/short ratio FAQ
What is the crypto long/short ratio?
It compares traders holding long positions with traders holding short positions on a perpetual futures contract. A share of 60% long means a long/short ratio of 60 / 40 = 1.5. Above 1 more traders are long than short; below 1 more are short.
Binance accounts vs top trader ratio: what's the difference?
The Binance accounts ratio counts accounts: of all accounts with an open position on the contract, the share whose net position is long. Every account counts once, whatever its size. The top trader ratio only looks at the top 20% of Binance futures users by margin balance and weighs them by position size: it is the share of their combined open position that is long.
What does the Bybit long/short ratio measure?
Bybit publishes the share of users holding a long position versus a short position on each USDT perpetual. Like the Binance accounts ratio it counts users, not position size.
How often does the long/short ratio update?
Binance and Bybit publish a new value every 5 minutes. Swolecharts requests data every 5 minutes when the exchange responds for the top 100 perpetuals by volume, and backfills the previous 24 hours from the exchanges to provide 1h, 4h and 24h changes and the 24h charts when data is available.
Is a high long/short ratio bullish?
Not necessarily. Account ratios count people, not money, and most accounts are small, so a crowd of small longs can sit against a few large shorts. Some traders read extreme ratios as contrarian: a very long-heavy crowd can fuel a long squeeze if price drops. Neither reading is reliable on its own. This is market data, not financial advice.
How far back does the long/short history go?
For Binance, to September 2020 or the coin's listing: the long/short pages of the top 100 coins by open interest chart the accounts, top trader accounts and top trader positions ratios back to then, from Binance's public daily data files, hourly for older periods. Bybit's accounts ratio goes back to July 2020 and Gate's history to 2023. Bitget and HTX start from when this site began recording them.
Where can I see one coin in detail?
Click any coin for its long/short page with a 24-hour chart of the Binance and Bybit ratios, their history, top traders against all accounts and the other exchanges' ratios, or see its funding rates, open interest and liquidations. Funding and liquidations often say more about crowded positioning than the account ratio alone.
