Bearish Tilt in Bitcoin Perpetual Futures Traders' Long/Short Ratios on Major Exchanges

Three major cryptocurrency exchanges - Binance, Bybit, and OKX - have reported a slight bearish tilt in Bitcoin perpetual futures traders' long/short ratios. According to data from CryptoRank, the aggregated long/short ratio across these platforms stands at 48.26% long versus 51.74% short over the past 24 hours.

The largest exchange by trading volume, Binance, shows 48.05% long and 51.95% short, while Bybit follows with 47.82% long and 52.18% short. OKX displays the most bearish tilt at 47.1% long and 52.9% short.
