What is long/short ratio?
The long/short ratio counts accounts betting the price goes up against accounts betting it goes down. Above 1 means more are betting up. It is a headcount, so it says nothing about how much money is behind either side: a thousand small accounts betting up and one very large account betting down produce a ratio that looks lopsided and a market that is not.
Why only one line?
This page shows the whole crowd and not the biggest traders on their own, so it cannot say whether a few large positions lean the other way from everyone else.
What does it tell you?
A lopsided ratio is not a signal on its own. Crowded positions do get squeezed, which is why traders watch it, but they also stay crowded for weeks. Read it beside what it costs to hold the crowded side, on Bybit's funding page.
