BTC Long/Short Ratios Hold at 50.12% Long Signaling Persistent Neutral Sentiment

BTC perpetual futures long/short ratios across Binance, OKX, and Bybit remain tightly balanced at 50.12% long vs. 49.88% short as of April 25, 2026, underscoring neutral market sentiment with near-zero funding rates. This follows mild bullish tilts earlier—50.61% long on April 21 (OKX at 53.03%) and 50.94% on April 22 (Bybit at 52.34%)—shifting to near-perfect equilibrium at 50.03% long on April 24 amid $10bn Binance OI. The progression suggests range-bound consolidation until catalysts like regulatory news or ETF flows trigger rapid shifts and potential squeezes.
