How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ADA, measured when this story was written up on 26 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ADA is currently trading at $0.2588 with a spot volume of $57,092,333 over the last 24 hours. Short-term selling pressure is evident, as the 1-hour buy ratio sits at 37.4% and the 4-hour ratio is 47.1%, both trailing the 24-hour average of 54.0%. Volume delta confirms this immediate outflow, showing -$409,406 in the last hour and -$355,959 over four hours. The buy ratio indicates the percentage of trades executed on the buy side, while volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume; negative values here signal that sellers are dominating the immediate flow.
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.
