How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ARB, measured when this story was written up on 5 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ARB is trading at $0.1319 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 49.9%, which is slightly higher than the 4-hour ratio of 46.8% and the 24-hour ratio of 46.5%. This indicates that short-term buying pressure is stabilizing compared to the broader daily trend. The 1-hour volume delta is -$107, showing minimal net selling in the immediate term. However, the 4-hour volume delta is -$243,364, and the 24-hour volume delta is -$2,502,167, indicating sustained net selling over longer periods. The 24-hour close CVD is -$163,517, confirming that sellers have dominated the day's flow. Despite this, spot volume reached $37,018,651 with 189,828 trades, showing active participation.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.5% sits at the 8th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.6% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ARB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 49.8%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 46.5% a 3.3-point decline from the average. Volume was 1.47 times the average, indicating significantly higher activity than usual. The coin saw a 50.2% price increase over 8 days, despite a total volume delta of -$1,020,553. This suggests that the recent price surge occurred alongside net selling pressure. Today's activity is unusual due to the elevated volume relative to the weekly norm.
