How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ARB, measured when this story was written up on 30 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows ARB trading at $0.2035 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 50.7%, indicating a slight edge for buyers over the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio dropped to 48.3%, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is fading compared to the broader trend. The 4-hour buy ratio sits at 50.3%, showing a more balanced but still slightly bullish stance in the intermediate term. Volume Delta turned negative in the last hour at -$10,036, meaning sell volume exceeded buy volume recently, contrasting with the positive +$18,631 seen over the past four hours. This shift indicates that while the daily trend remains net positive, immediate momentum has weakened.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.1% sits at the 85th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.6% - stronger buying than most days.
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, ARB experienced a 13.5% price decline and recorded a total Volume Delta of -$3,694,718. The current 24-hour buy ratio of 50.7% is 1.6 percentage points higher than the 7-day average of 49.0%, marking a slight improvement in buying sentiment. However, 24-hour spot volume of $27.4 million is only 0.77 times the weekly average, indicating significantly lower trading activity than usual. Unlike the recent 24 hours which saw 13 hours of net buying, the preceding week had zero days of net buying. This suggests that while today shows a marginal shift toward balanced buying, it remains an unusually quiet day with lower volume compared to the broader weekly trend.
