How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for AAVE, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
AAVE is trading at $145.90 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.6%, indicating that buyers controlled the majority of volume over the full day. Short-term pressure shows a slight dip, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 49.1% compared to the 4-hour ratio of 52.6%. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at $1,531,281, meaning net buying exceeded net selling by that amount over the day. In contrast, the 1-hour volume delta is -$17,650, showing that recent selling has temporarily outweighed buying in the last hour. This suggests that while the daily trend remains bullish, immediate momentum has softened.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 46th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.8% - ordinary for this coin.
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, AAVE saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 50.2%, with the latest day being 2.3 percentage points higher than that average. Spot volume was 1.73 times the average, indicating significantly higher activity than usual. The price increased by 13.8% over eight days, supported by a total volume delta of $3,004,825. Only three of the seven days recorded net buying, suggesting that this recent surge in volume and price is an unusual spike rather than a steady daily pattern.
