Binance ETH Ratio Hits 0.81 as Sell-Off Pressure Mounts
The taker buy/sell ratio on Binance for Ethereum (ETH) has dropped to 0.81, indicating heavy sell-side pressure.
This metric tracks the ratio of aggressive market buy orders versus market sell orders in perpetual futures contracts and is a significant indicator of market sentiment.
The current reading means that for every 100 aggressively placed buy orders, roughly 123 sell orders are doing the same.
This imbalance doesn't show up often, and when it does, it tends to get people's attention. The ratio sat well below the neutral line of 1.0 at a time when ETH was trading around $2,400.
The relationship between low taker ratios and ETH price weakness has been well-documented. In September 2025, the ratio dipped below 0.87, coinciding with notably weak price performance for Ethereum.
