The labels say what each reading was found to be good for when we tested Whalio's data against what prices did next. Ranges are statistical, not guarantees: roughly one 24-hour window in five ends outside its 80% range, and fast markets break ranges more often. Nothing here tells you what to buy or sell. Compare all coins.

What Chainlink's order flow looks like

Whalio holds 322 days of Binance spot order flow for LINK, starting 2 November 2025. On a median day the pair turns over $23.8M across 89,970 trades, which works out at about $264 a trade.

On 15 October 2026, the most recent complete day, the buy ratio was 49.36% against a median of 48.83%. That is the 56th percentile of the days measured, which makes it ordinary for this coin. Turnover came to $36M, 1.5 times the median day.

Takers have leaned the same way for 4 days running, net selling throughout. The longest run in that direction this coin has had is 12 days. Over the last week the imbalance totals $5.3M on $162.2M of turnover, with the price down 1.93%.

The heaviest day on record is $155.7M on 4 November 2025, and the busiest by count is 1,178,381 trades. The largest single-day gain measured is 14.48% on 25 February 2026.

All of this is Binance spot only. The buy ratio counts which side crossed the spread, not who placed the order or why, and LINK can trade differently on another venue or in futures.

Figures recomputed after each daily close. The method is on the methodology page.
