Bitcoin Taker Buy Sell Ratio Hits Highest Value in 636 days

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin taker buy sell ratio has surged up to a high not seen since almost two years ago.

Bitcoin Taker Buy Sell Ratio Observes Uplift In Recent Days

As pointed out by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the taker buy sell ratio is now at its highest value in 636 days.

The “taker buy sell ratio,” as its name suggests, is an indicator that measures the ratio between the taker buy volumes and the taker sell volumes.

When the value of this metric is greater than one, it means the long volume is overwhelming the short volume right now. Such a trend suggests that a bullish sentiment is more dominant in the market currently.

On the other hand, the ratio being below this threshold implies taker sell volume is higher at the moment. This trend naturally hints that the market holds a bearish majority sentiment.

Now, here is a chart that shows the trend in the Bitcoin taker buy sell ratio over the last couple of years:

Since these latest values are higher than the “1” mark, the taker buy volumes are currently more dominant in the market.

Incidentally, the last time these highs were seen was just before the 2021 bull run started. If a similar trend follows this time as well, then the current Bitcoin taker buy sell ratio values can prove to be bullish for the crypto’s price.
