Bitcoin Sees Sharp Increase in Taker Buy/Sell Ratio on Binance—What Does It Signal?

Source Newsbtc

Bitcoin continues to edge closer to the $100,000 psychological price mark, trading at $96,857 at the time of writing. Although the asset pulled back slightly from a 24-hour high above $97,000, it still recorded a 2.4% increase over the past week, maintaining its broader uptrend.

Recent on-chain data points to a growing sense of bullish sentiment in the market. Notably, a sharp increase in the taker buy/sell ratio on Binance suggests that traders are becoming more aggressive in their buying behavior.

Some analysts are interpreting this shift as a potential prelude to further upside movement, especially as exchange outflows signal a tightening supply.

Bitcoin Taker Buy/Sell Ratio Points to Aggressive Buying Behavior

Amr Taha, a contributor to the QuickTake platform by CryptoQuant, highlighted that the taker buy/sell ratio on Binance recently spiked to 1.142—its highest point in recent history.

This metric compares the volume of market buy orders (taker buys) to market sell orders (taker sells). A value above 1 indicates that market participants are executing more aggressive buy orders than sell orders, suggesting a growing eagerness to enter the market even at higher price levels.

Taha’s analysis also referenced a visual spike on Binance’s order book, signaling a wave of taker buys that reflect immediate interest in BTC accumulation. The timing of this spike coincided with Bitcoin’s recent move above $96,000.

At the same time, data from CryptoQuant’s Whales Screener revealed a $200 million BTC outflow from centralized exchanges. This withdrawal likely represents a shift from liquid trading platforms to cold storage, implying reduced selling pressure and heightened confidence among large holders.

Futures Traders That Drove October Rally Return

In a separate update, another CryptoQuant analyst known as Mignolet pointed to the re-emergence of entities in the futures market that were active during Bitcoin’s sharp rally in October 2023.

These futures participants, often institutional or high-frequency traders, played a notable role in driving momentum during that rally. According to Mignolet, similar entities have started showing signs of activity again since late April.

The return of these futures players could suggest that leveraged long positions are being reopened in anticipation of another breakout. Combined with the recent net exchange outflows and aggressive spot buying on Binance, this resurgence could provide additional fuel for Bitcoin’s climb toward six-figure territory.
