How the market reacted

At $0.2551, the 1-hour buy ratio of 46.5% indicates a slight preference for selling, while the 4-hour ratio of 51.4% shows a marginal preference for buying. This 4-hour buying pressure contrasts with the 24-hour ratio of 50.1%, suggesting that short-term selling pressure has eased over the last day. Volume delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume; the 1-hour delta of -$146,628 shows net selling, whereas the 4-hour delta of +$487,669 indicates net buying. The 24-hour delta of +$48,890 confirms that buying has outweighed selling over the full day, despite a CVD close of -$130,477.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 5th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
