The cumulative volume delta closed at +$110,669 over 24 hours, with net buying occurring in only 10 of the last 24 hours.

Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for AAVE, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.6%, compared to the latest day’s 48.5%, a difference of 2.1 points. This indicates that today’s buying activity is slightly below the weekly average. Volume was 0.93x the average, showing that trading activity is lower than usual. The coin experienced a price change of +14.2% over eight days, with a total volume delta of +$818,176. This suggests that while recent flow is weaker, the broader weekly trend remains positive. The current day is an unusual one due to the lower volume and reduced buy ratio compared to the weekly norm.
