Track Solana perpetual futures long/short ratio across Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, Hyperliquid.
Sharpe Terminal aggregates Solana (SOL) perpetual futures long/short ratio data from Binance, Bybit, OKX, Deribit, Hyperliquid and eight additional exchanges into a single real-time chart. Compare exchange-level breakdowns, overlay price, and switch between 1W, 1M, 3M, 1Y and 3Y historical windows. Ratio of accounts holding long vs. short perpetual futures positions by exchange. Derivatives traders use this view to confirm trend strength, spot crowded positioning, and pinpoint liquidation cascades before they ripple into spot.
Solana (SOL) is the third-largest perpetual market by OI, with aggregate SOL perp OI climbing from under $1B in 2023 to over $7B during the 2024-2025 memecoin cycle. Binance, Bybit, OKX, Hyperliquid, and Drift (on-chain) collectively clear the majority of SOL perp volume. SOL funding rates are the most volatile of any top-10 coin — single-day annualized funding over 100% is common when SOL memecoin mania peaks. Because SOL is the settlement layer for Solana-ecosystem memecoins, SOL perp positioning leads memecoin-wide regime changes by hours to days. SOL liquidation cascades in April 2024 and August 2024 each wiped $500M+ of leverage in under an hour. Term structure on SOL inverts faster than on BTC/ETH during risk-off events.
The long/short ratio compares either the number of accounts or the position size of accounts holding longs vs. shorts on a given exchange. A ratio above 1.0 means more accounts (or size) are long than short; below 1.0 means the opposite. Retail-oriented venues (Binance, Bybit, Bitget) typically run structurally long — ratios of 2-4x long are normal even in sideways markets, because retail default-buys. Institutional venues (CME, OKX top-traders) fluctuate around 1.0. Extreme readings act as contrarian indicators: retail piling into longs above 3x historically precedes corrections, while crowding into shorts below 0.7x sets up squeezes.
Compare retail-account ratios to top-trader ratios on OKX or Binance — divergence between the two is the cleanest smart-money-vs-dumb-money signal in crypto derivatives. When top traders are flat or short while retail is aggressively long, fade the retail side. Watch for inflection points where the ratio flips from growing to shrinking — these are often earlier than price signals. Stack long/short by exchange to identify venue-specific crowding.
