Sentiment Dashboard
Live crypto sentiment: long/short ratios and taker buy/sell flow across Binance, Bybit and OKX for BTC, ETH, SOL and top altcoins, in real time.
How to Read the Sentiment Dashboard
The sentiment dashboard aggregates long/short positioning data from Binance, Bybit, and OKX to give you a real-time snapshot of market sentiment for the top 10 crypto assets by perpetual futures volume.
Long/Short Ratio measures the percentage of accounts holding long vs short positions. A ratio above 55% long signals bullish sentiment (greed), while below 45% signals bearish sentiment (fear). Extreme readings above 65% or below 35% often precede reversals.
Taker Buy/Sell Ratio captures aggressive order flow: values above 1.0 mean more market buys than sells, indicating demand-side pressure. Combined with long/short data, high taker buy ratios during greed periods can signal overheating.
Using sentiment data for trading decisions
Market sentiment is the aggregate mood of all participants -- and in crypto, it swings hard. The dashboard above captures two key dimensions: how traders are positioned (long/short ratios) and how they're acting right now (taker buy/sell flow). Together, these paint a real-time picture of greed versus fear that no single indicator can match.
The most profitable setups often appear when positioning and flow diverge. If 65% of accounts are long but taker sell volume is spiking, it means the crowd is bullish but smart money is hitting bids -- a classic distribution pattern. Similarly, heavy taker buying during extreme fear (sub-35% long) often marks capitulation bottoms. Cross-check with the Fear & Greed Index for a broader view, or drill into liquidation heatmaps to see where forced selling could amplify the move.
Sentiment works best as a confirmation tool, not a standalone signal. Use it alongside price action and open interest trends to time entries. When all three align -- rising price, rising OI, and neutral-to-bearish sentiment -- that's typically the strongest trend continuation setup.
