Bitcoin Perpetual Futures Traders Show Slightly Bearish Bias Across Top Exchanges

Bitcoin perpetual futures traders are showing a slightly bearish bias across the three largest crypto derivatives exchanges by open interest, according to recent data. The overall long/short ratio stands at 49.57% long positions versus 50.43% short positions, reflecting a marginal lean toward bearish sentiment among perpetual swap traders.

The exchange-level breakdown shows that Binance has a long/short ratio of 48.03% long and 51.97% short, while OKX follows with 49.06% long and 50.94% short. Bybit shows the most pronounced bearish skew at 47.93% long and 52.07% short.

The current ratios are a snapshot of short-term trader positioning and can shift rapidly with market movements. While a slight bearish lean may reflect caution amid recent price action or macroeconomic uncertainty, it is not necessarily predictive of future price direction.
