bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that AVAX price has taken a hit from the September 15 crypto sell-off. Sentiment around recovering altcoins got shaken after the U.S. Senate failed to advance the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act. The legislation is also known as the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for AVAX, measured when this story was written up on 16 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
AVAX is trading at $7.27 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 42.7% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 46.8%, both below the 24-hour ratio of 46.4%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term relative to the longer daily window. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$156,602 in the last hour and -$298,941 over four hours. A negative volume delta means sellers are executing larger trades than buyers, pushing the price down. Over the past 24 hours, the cumulative volume delta reached -$482,149, confirming sustained selling pressure.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 51st percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
