How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for AAVE, measured when this story was written up on 5 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
AAVE trades at $130.37 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 47.7% and a 4-hour ratio of 46.3%. These short-term figures are slightly higher than the 24-hour buy ratio of 47.5%, indicating a marginal increase in buying pressure. Volume delta shows net selling of -$20,781 in the last hour and -$177,463 over four hours. The 24-hour volume delta is -$903,889, with cumulative volume delta closing at -$779,461. A buy ratio below 50% means sellers are dominating the order flow. Negative volume delta confirms that sell volume exceeds buy volume during these periods.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.8% sits at the 52nd percentile of the last 324 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 48.2%, compared to the current 24-hour ratio of 47.5%. This represents a 0.7 point decrease in buying pressure relative to the weekly average. Volume is 1.05x the average, showing slightly higher activity than usual. Only 1 of the past 7 days recorded net buying, making this an unusual period for accumulation. The price rose 6.7% over 8 days despite a total volume delta of -$4,041,963. This context suggests that recent trading has been predominantly bearish despite the price increase.
