Sentiment Dashboard
Live crypto market sentiment tracking long/short ratios and taker buy/sell flow across Binance, Bybit, and OKX. Monitor BTC, ETH, SOL and top altcoins to gauge market positioning 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.
