How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ATOM, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ATOM trades at $1.79 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.5%, indicating immediate buying interest. This contrasts with a 30.4% buy ratio over the past 4 hours, suggesting short-term momentum is fading. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 50.7%, showing a balanced market over the full day. A positive 1-hour volume delta of +$16,432 shows recent net inflows, while the 4-hour delta of -$446,200 reflects recent net outflows. Over 24 hours, the market saw a net outflow of $587,044, with net buying occurring in only 10 of the 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 44.7% sits at the 9th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.8% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
