This indicates that despite BNB’s upward price movement, buying pressure is weakening, and if this trend continues, the coin could shed its recent gains. Furthermore, BNB’s long/short ratio has steadied below one since October 6, highlighting the growing negative bias among futures traders. As of this writing, this is at 0.9354. BNB Long/Short Ratio.

When it returns a value above one, more traders expect upward momentum, reflecting a bullish trend in the derivatives market. Conversely, a ratio below one, as with BNB, indicates that most participants are betting on further downside. A sustained increase in short positioning reflects expectations of a market correction, further adding to the coin’s selling pressure.
