How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for AVAX, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
AVAX is trading at $7.11 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 58.9%, indicating strong short-term buying pressure. However, the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 40.0%, suggesting this momentum is fading over a slightly longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 46.6%, showing a more balanced but slightly bearish view over the full day. Volume delta is positive at +$64,303 in the last hour, meaning buyers are currently outspending sellers. In contrast, the 4-hour and 24-hour volume deltas are negative at -$526,137 and -$794,151 respectively, indicating net selling pressure over those periods. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) for the day closed at -$1,153,149, confirming that sellers dominated the session overall.
The latest daily buy ratio of 42.0% sits at the 3rd percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.3% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Twenty-four hours later
What AVAX did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for AVAX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 47.4%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 46.6% slightly below the norm by 0.8 points. Spot volume was 0.78x the average, indicating lower-than-usual trading activity. Net buying occurred on only 3 of the past 7 days, contrasting with the 13 hours of net buying recorded in the last 24 hours. The price has fallen 6.5% over the 8-day period, with a total volume delta of -$7,413,189. This day appears ordinary in terms of ratio deviation but unusual in its recent short-term buying surge compared to the weekly trend.
