On the Brink of a Bullish Market? A Cautionary Analysis of Recent Derivative Trends
The Taker Buy/Sell Ratio is approaching levels not seen since its peaks in early to mid-January and mid-February (Image 1). This might suggest a bullish sentiment, but I remain skeptical. This is largely due to the recent sharp increase in Open Interest (Image 2). In other words, while the derivatives market may seem bullish, any position taken will invariably result in a counter-trade through settlement (or liquidation). Indicator: Taker Buy/Sell Ratio The ratio of buy volume divided by sell volume of takers in perpetual swap trades. Values over 1 indicate bullish sentiment is dominant. Values under 1 indicate bearish sentiment is dominant.
