Bitcoin Taker Buy/Sell Ratio Shows “Buy” Signal As BTC Lifts Off

Share This Post

On-chain data shows the Bitcoin taker buy/sell ratio is now lighting up a “buy” signal as the price of the crypto begins to take off.

Bitcoin Taker Buy Sell Ratio Suggests Now May Be A Good Time To Buy

As explained by an analyst in a CryptoQuant post, the taker buy sell ratio metrics can be used to find viable entry and exit spots in the market.

The “Bitcoin taker buy volume” is an indicator that measures the volume of buy orders filled by takers in perpetual swaps. Similarly, the “taker sell volume” measures the amount of sell orders.

The “taker buy ratio” (or its sell counterpart) is defined as the ratio between the buy volume and the total volume on perpetual swaps.

When the value of the taker buy ratio goes up, it means the buyers are currently willing to buy coins at a higher price. Such a trend shows that the buying pressure is currently stronger than the selling pressure.

On the other hand, taker sell ratio moving up would indicate a shift towards a more bearish sentiment in the market.

After a long period of downwards movement, Bitcoin has finally enjoyed some constant uptrend over the past week. Earlier in the day, the coin’s price briefly broke above $45k before sliding down to the current levels.

It’s unclear at the moment if this trend will continue, or if it’s just a bull trap. However, if the taker buy ratio is anything to consider, the outcome of the coin may be bullish.
