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 Zcash's order flow looks like

Whalio holds 322 days of Binance spot order flow for ZEC, starting 2 November 2025. On a median day the pair turns over $98.3M across 359,028 trades, which works out at about $274 a trade.

On 15 October 2026, the most recent complete day, the buy ratio was 52.88% against a median of 50.24%. That is the 83rd percentile of the days measured, which makes it leaning, but within its normal range. Turnover came to $295M, 3 times the median day.

Net taker flow has not settled into a run: the side crossing the spread in greater size changed within the last three days.

The heaviest day on record is $1.89bn on 10 November 2025, and the busiest by count is 5,837,772 trades. The largest single-day gain measured is 32.21% on 7 November 2025.

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

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