Long-position shares rose for all five crypto assets in dollar-margined futures on Oct. 27, with Bitcoin (BTC) posting the largest daily gain, while coin-margined position readings were mixed, Coinglass data showed.
A long-position share measures the long side as a portion of futures position size. An account share counts how many top-trader accounts are positioned long. The two readings can differ, offering separate views of position size and trader participation.
In the dollar-margined account series, all five assets advanced. BTC rose 1.53 percentage points to 71.59%; XRP increased 1.07 percentage points to 79.17%; Solana (SOL) gained 0.97 percentage point to 77.85%; Ether (ETH) climbed 0.78 percentage point to 76.10%; and Dogecoin (DOGE) added 0.62 percentage point to 77.77%.
Coin-margined account shares also increased, by less than 0.4 percentage point each: SOL gained 0.37 percentage point, BTC and ETH each added 0.27 percentage point, XRP rose 0.11 percentage point, and DOGE gained 0.08 percentage point. Coin-margined account shares were higher than their dollar-margined equivalents for all five assets. DOGE had the highest coin-margined account share at 91.81%, while BTC's stood at 79.46%.
Dollar-margined position-size readings increased for every asset. BTC rose 3.02 percentage points to 65.83%, the largest gain in the group; SOL rose 2.24 percentage points to 71.27%; ETH gained 0.79 percentage point to 64.53%; DOGE added 0.57 percentage point to 76.11%; and XRP advanced 0.51 percentage point to 67.53%.
Coin-margined position shares were uneven. SOL climbed 1.15 percentage points to 86.94%, BTC added 0.34 percentage point to 72.09%, DOGE rose 0.21 percentage point to 79.16%, and XRP edged up 0.08 percentage point to 84.38%, while ETH fell 0.80 percentage point to 75.95%. Coin-margined position shares were higher than dollar-margined readings for all five assets.
The readings track futures activity only; they do not reveal a trader's full market stance because futures positions can balance other exposure. An earlier EconoTimes snapshot of Bitcoin futures showed the two measures moving in opposite directions on Oct. 18, when account share declined and position share increased.
