Cardano (ADA) rose 8% to $0.27 on October 5, marking its strongest rally since May while Bitcoin and Ethereum remained subdued, according to cryptocurrency.com.tr. Founder Charles Hoskinson shared a 15-minute ADA/USDT chart showing the token moving from roughly $0.244 toward $0.264. He added the hashtag #LeiosIsComing to refocus traders on Linear Leios, a protocol upgrade designed to expand transaction capacity while retaining the security role of the existing Praos chain.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ADA, measured when this story was written up on 5 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for ADA shows a price of $0.2597 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 62.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 55.1%, compared to a 24-hour buy ratio of 50.2%. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term relative to the longer daily view. The 1-hour volume delta is +$219,249 and the 4-hour delta is +$773,928, showing net inflows that contrast with the 24-hour volume delta of +$180,517. A positive volume delta means buyers are actively absorbing sell orders, while the buy ratio represents the percentage of trades executed by buyers. These metrics suggest immediate aggressive accumulation despite the 24-hour close CVD of -$251,059.
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.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ADA, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 50.0%, with the latest day showing only a +0.2 points increase. Volume was 1.33x the average, and the 8-day price change was +1.8%. This is an unusual day for the coin, as volume significantly exceeded the weekly average, though the net buying days were only 4 of 7. The 8-day volume delta was -$64,663, contrasting with the recent positive short-term deltas. This places the current activity as a volume spike without a sustained weekly trend shift.
