BFX is no longer available. Any other site to see sentimient analisis?
This is really great, thanks man....great delivery. You’re a sharp dude.
Awesome content! I've dismissed the BFXdata a few times just because I couldn't make any sense of it by myself. This video helped greatly. Thanks for the effort.
You are the real deal, so glad I subbed and discovered your channel
Great tool to help in our trades... Thank for sharing men! Here u have a new follower
Thank you for the video. You have a great way of explaining things. So glad I found your RUclips.
Thanks for the comment!
I can't believe how great you are at explaining this! I thought I'd give it 2 seconds and was hooked. But why film in a restroom?
The room is a video editing room, not a restroom but haha. Others have commented that the space looks like a prison, its hilarious
Very convincing! Thank you for your great analysis.
Wow your videos are great. Keep up the good work! I would definitely get my friends to watch your videos too.
Your explanation on oversold and overbought is crystal clear. Thanks for making these videos. How do we determine a trend? Looking at these percentages is enough?
Thanks. My second video of this series will talk about how we can determine a trend. Looking at the long/short %'s is a fantastic sentiment bias indicator however that can be paired with many strategies.
You got me hooked! new follower, great vid!
BTW, great video. Keep up good work!
BFXDATA is down. Do you have an alternative?
Appreciate the information bro respect
Thank you, really great
Nicely done
Jesus this video is great, thank you very much!
Thanks for the video, thanks for sharing. Is it possible for you to do a short video on Market Depths and its applications? i know its basic but iv never seen a great video or material has been done towards that subject. alternatively please suggest some material that you think its great to look at. Appreciated XD
Great video, thanks man!
One question - I see the 60/40 rule works well with identifying bottom, but what about the top? Does it work for the top as well?
Great content! datamish does not allow for change in trader view to percentages?
I'm kinda late to these videos, but love all the info you're giving. bfxdata's website seems to have been down for a while. Have you found any substitutes yet?
Well nevermind. Just saw you literally answered that in the video's description
great videos u do!
Amazing insights, thanks alot
I'm having a hard time understanding how people do short positions. The main reason is that I haven't seen any exchange (GDAX, Binance, etc) that let you put yourself short (meaning you first sell high and then buy low). I've done this on my broker through CFDs on stocks but I have no idea how people do short positions on crypto in general??
Bitfinex (where the data comes from) is an international exchange where shorting is allowed.
aaahhh okay! I was really going mad thinking how the hell people were short on BTC haha. Thanks man!
Amazing video! Very well explained. Do you think it would be a problem to use the BTC/USD data while you're actually trading in EUR?
I would say that you would have to first study the correlation rate between BTC/USD and BTC/EUR. If you find a high correlation rate, then you can absolutely use this strategy.
Thanks! That makes perfect sense.
93% long in todays date.. what is happening ! does that mean you should short ?
Thank you! Good lessons )
Looking at the 7day, Bitcoin volume has stayed above 60% long positions for almost 2 days. Price has moved up over $1,000. This suggests a dip is coming, right?
Right you were. Nov 29th was an insane day
Long / Short ratio is now 70%/30% after the heavy fall. Does it mean the price can go even lower?
The BFXdata long vs short page doesn't load just shows a spinning status.
It will only load on cryptocurrencies such as BTC/USD, ETH/USD, LTC/USD. Try opening Tradingivew in a different browser if it still does not work.
Short position is now around 35% and BTC is still growing. Should it not fall because market is overbought?
Yep! :)
tnx bro..
Really love and appreciate your style of teaching. I went to bfxdata.com and the site has been down since last month. So I went to datamish.com
Can you make a short video on how to use that platform to trade?
Would love a video on Datamish
Since more than four days the long-short positions in BTC are more than 60-40... when the BTC will start to fall?
With a massive spike in volume that is respected by the market.
How can long positions be greater than short (or viceversa) when trading is zero sum game. I trader futures in stock markets where long positions are always equal to short. I am surprised how its diff in BTC context. Can someone throw light on the same?
Sure - what you are seeing with the sentiment is the number of margin longs and shorts. That means the longs and shorts will not be equal as each margin long and short enters a position by paying an interest rate to a lender. We use this sentiment data because it represents the retail traders who take on more risk, giving us a great emotional representative of the more gambler-esque trading crowd.
But still, how is it possible that the margin long positions and the short ones are not equal. Even with futures, if you have no seller, you cant buy...
Because there are lenders, who decide either to lend their BTC (so that traders can go margin short) or lend their USD (so that traders can go margin long). That is how traders are able to buy and sell on margin.
With the BFXLS100 indicator I can't find any oversold, 60% short readings
You can find it if you only select the 2nd line within the settings of BFXLS100.
If I only select the second line, I still don't get any 60% (shorts) oversold readings.
Hi, Great video series! How do I get to see the live long v short v bitcoin price sentiment data on bfxdata - the sentiment data stops on 19th Jan, but the price data is live.
Go to Tradingview. Then type in 'BFXLS' in the indicators section.
Thanks for replying - I've got BFXLS on TradingView, which I use daily, but I can't find a way to show the sentiment percentages instead of the long/short values.
It's bfxdata.com that doesn't appear to be showing the live data - do you know how to 1) get bfxdata.com to show the live percentage data, or 2) get percentage values in BFXLS on TradingView? Thanks for helping.
Sure, Type in 'BFXLS 100'. That will display 4 values, 2 raw sentiment values and 2 % values.
After you get BFXLS 100, then go to the settings. Deselect the first and the third line, you now have two % sentiment lines.
Awesome! Yep, I've got percentage values now... very very cool ands much more useful. I will go back through your video tutorials and see if I can spot the patterns you're showing us. Thank you so much - great to have this to work with. Thanks again!!
Also , iv been trying to look for Sentiment data for Forex, however its not looking quite similar, do you have any suggestion where to find them ? Thanks again
I do know of a site for reliable sentiment for Forex - I will email it to you and we can discuss how to interpret it.
Hi, could you send me the site for forex sentiments as well. The only thing i can think of is using commitment of traders data.
Many thanks.
Sure, send me an an email at my business account and I will send you the data: Bennett@bitcointradingpractice.com
is there an alternative to bfxdata? the site is down
what about other pairs like LTC/BTC and ETH/BTC? LTC most time seats on 70-80/30-20 ratio. How to use this tool?
Good question. Yes, the smaller the market cap a coin has - the more extreme the ratios for overbought and oversold levels will be. I would put Ethereum's extrema %'s at 65/35 and or 70/30 depending on the recent price volatility.
Thanks! Very useful video. Like! )
Alas, the BFXdata.com website will not load up the BTCUSD Sentiment page without crashing. Presumably can't handle the amount of traffic...
You can also use Tradingview sentiment overlay - where the sentiment data is simply overlayed onto a price chart. Just go to Tradingview, hit indicators and type in BFXLS. Then you have sentiment data for all of Bitfinex's coins.
This such a useful indicator; it's the first one I've found that can actually be predictive of rather than reactive to price action. Great stuff, thank you!
Thanks for the video.. I can't get the website to load up either. I have looked at the Sentiment overlay on Trading View as well but cannot make sense of it. It's not showing the short/long data in percentage terms as in your video. Can you help on this?
Try out the datamish.com site.
I cannot find this indicator on TradingView. could you suggest the exact name? great video...following!
Nice thanks
Is there an equivalent now bfxdata is down? :-(
All I find is the indicators say it should go down and btc just keeps going up. Doesn't seem to work.
You have to interpret sentiment into a trend. If price is breaking out to the upside for example - then you must see a spike in bull positions and a mass exit in bear positions. However, what you are referring to is when price is clearly established in an uptrend and then you see a spike in longs and a mass exit in bear positions - that in turn would be quite bearish as it indicates an overbought market top. If curious about more live reading sentiment: check out the livestream I made (ruclips.net/video/N1pD4R4a_I4/видео.html).
this website is closed :( is there any alternative ?
www.cryptometer.io/ or coinfarm.online/index.asp or datamish.com/
Look at the bfxdata now - shorts went from mid 50’s to low 30’s overnight. I think we all know why...
Yes I saw that on BFXdata. If you also look at the chart below it on that site you can see a massive buy volume spike. Why? Shorts covering their positions at a profit (this has to be the case for the massive drop off in shorts occurs at the exact same time of the buy volume spike).
Bitcoin Trading Challenge yes - and looking at b cash its just value being transferred. 5900 was broken with ease last night and buys were wiped out fast. Yes it bounced but given that price action does 5k and that 68.2% level seem more likely now.
I don't get why the BTFdata site doesn't work for some people
I want to see that massive buy volume spike. But the website doesn't work and on the volume indicator on tradingview I can't see a mass volume spike
Too bad the bfxdata.com/ is down.
Hey Bennet, what about a situation like where we are now, where its about 60/40 in favor of longs, but we're already in a downtrend? How do you interpret that? Does that still mean price is likely to drop or does that only apply during run ups?
i entered to the cryp this day i wish i ve have know this before the 2017 12/18
Talking about sentiment.. im feeling like gonna sleep.
BFXdata isn't working anymore.

For some reason, it looks like the data on ETHUSD has been frozen since the day of your video (probably a coincidence). Are you still using it for sentiment analysis?
www.bfxdata.com/positions/ethusd
Hi Jason - I now use the sentiment overlay onto Tradingview. It looks like this: ruclips.net/video/byPmn75Pp-8/видео.html
Thanks. I appreciate you replying.
2:20
BFXdata.com is down...
Possibly forever...
Check out datamish.com
price spike up + spike in longs = buy
price spike down + spike in shorts = ??
It depends on the market state. If we see a breakout then a spike in longs is a buy. If we see an established trend than a spike in longs that would be a sell.
And conversely, a spike in shorts during an established downtrend = a buy?
is bfxdata.com legit????? I get a warning
Try datamish.com
