ADA is trading at $0.2012 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 48.7%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 49.3%, while the 4-hour ratio is slightly higher at 52.1%, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is marginally stronger than the daily average. Volume delta shows a net outflow of $16,099 in the last hour, contrasting with a net inflow of $317,314 over the past four hours. This divergence implies that while recent hours have seen more selling than buying, the broader four-hour trend still reflects net accumulation. The 24-hour volume delta is -$496,002, confirming that sellers have dominated the full day despite the slight uptick in the 4-hour window.

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.

The 8-day volume delta total was -$8,908,231, showing that net selling has persisted throughout the week.
