Ether (ETH)’s dollar-margined long-account share stood at 80.06% on Nov. 14, while its coin-margined long-position share was 74.41%, showing how futures positioning measures can diverge across contracts. The figures offer U.S. readers a view of derivatives positioning, but they do not establish a price outlook.

Compared with Nov. 13, Ether’s dollar-margined long-account share increased 1.79 percentage points. Its coin-margined long-position share dropped 2.63 percentage points. Ether’s coin-margined long-account share edged up 0.01 percentage point to 83.84%.

XRP’s coin-margined long-position share climbed 2.05 percentage points to 85.36%, while its coin-margined long-account share slipped 0.12 percentage point to 88%. XRP’s dollar-margined long-account share fell 3.17 percentage points to 65.54%.

Among dollar-margined accounts, Bitcoin (BTC) declined 3.33 percentage points to 66.38%, and Dogecoin (DOGE) fell 1.07 percentage points to 72.37%. Solana (SOL) gained 0.82 percentage point to 82.02%. For coin-margined accounts, Bitcoin rose 0.48 percentage point to 82.46%, Solana fell 0.23 percentage point to 89.37%, and Dogecoin declined 0.26 percentage point to 91.76%.

An account share measures the portion of accounts positioned long; a position share reflects the long side’s portion of futures position size. These measures track different parts of market exposure and can move in opposite directions, as an earlier EconoTimes futures reading also illustrated. Ether traded at $1,905.98, down 2.85% over 24 hours, as of 7:17 a.m. ET (12:17 UTC).
