Long / short is the ratio of accounts net long to net short, with the split beside it, so a crowd reading. Whale lean is the same ratio among the top 20% of accounts by margin, weighted by position size, read as a label: above 2 is extreme, above 1.2 a lean, inside that balanced. The two Accounts columns are the same crowd ratio on Bybit and OKX. Taker buy/sell is Binance's aggressive buy volume over aggressive sell volume in the latest period. Ranked by 24h taker volume across venues; click a row for its history.

Binance's series. When the crowd and the top traders lean opposite ways, the top traders have more often been on the right side of the next move; the columns show whether aggressive flow agreed with either.

About this data

Updated Nov 2026

Figures are shown as the source publishes them, and anything we calculate is explained below. How the data is made Report an error General information, not financial advice.

What a long/short ratio is

Every perpetual position is long or short, and a venue can count them. The long/short ratio is that count expressed as a share: 54% of accounts long means 46% are short, a ratio of 1.17. It is a reading of positioning, not of price, and it is one of the few things a venue publishes that describes what its traders are actually doing rather than what they have traded.

Three versions are shown because they answer different questions. The share of all accounts is the crowd. The share of top traders, the largest fifth of accounts weighted by position, is the money. The taker buy/sell ratio is who was aggressive in the last period, which is flow rather than a stock of positions.

How to read the screener

  • Crowding, not direction: A very long crowd is fuel for a squeeze lower, not a forecast of a rise. The interesting readings are the extremes, and the header picks them out.
  • Crowd against whales: When accounts are long and top traders are short, or the reverse, the two groups disagree. Historically the larger accounts have been right more often, but not always, and the gap closing is itself the trade.
  • The trend column: The sparkline is the crowd's share over the last 24 periods and the figure is the change in points. A share that is rising fast into an extreme is more fragile than one that has sat there.
  • Three venues: Bybit's and OKX's account ratios sit beside Binance's. When all three agree, the lean is market-wide; when one diverges, that venue's crowd is offside.
  • Read it with funding: A crowded long that is also paying high funding is paying to stay crowded, which is the condition squeezes are made of. The liquidation map shows where they would be forced out.

What it cannot tell you

  • Accounts are not dollars. One account with a large short counts once against a thousand small longs. The top-trader column is the corrective, and the two should be read together.
  • The top-trader and taker columns are one venue's book. Binance is the largest, but positioning on Hyperliquid or the CME can lean the other way; the Bybit and OKX columns are the check.
  • A ratio is a snapshot of a stock of positions. It does not say when they were opened or at what price; the liquidation map is the page for that.

Not investment advice

Positioning describes what other traders hold. It does not say what the price will do. Nothing on this page is a recommendation to buy or sell anything.

Questions

Is a high long ratio bullish?

Usually the opposite. A crowded long is a stock of positions that must eventually be closed, and if price falls into them they are closed by force. The reading describes fuel, not direction.

What is the difference between accounts and top traders?

Accounts counts every account once. Top traders is the largest fifth of accounts by margin balance, with each weighted by position size, so it reflects where the money is rather than where the people are.

How fresh is the data?

The venues publish one print per period. The page reads the latest 24 on load and again every five minutes, and the header shows the time of the last read.
