Whalio data shows AVAX trading at $10.09, indicating continued upward momentum following the reported surge. The 1-hour buy ratio sits at 54.6%, suggesting immediate buying pressure, while the 4-hour ratio has cooled to 49.7%. Over the full 24-hour period, the buy ratio is 48.6%, showing a more balanced market. Volume delta reflects this shift, with positive inflows of $622,553 in the last hour contrasting with outflows of $71,469 over 4 hours and $2,371,995 over 24 hours. This indicates that while short-term traders are active, net selling pressure has dominated the broader day. CVD closed at -$1,926,610, confirming that sellers have controlled the majority of the session's volume.
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.
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, AVAX experienced a 36.4 percent price increase, aligning with the recent rally. The average 7-day buy ratio was 47.1%, making the current day's 48.6% ratio slightly above average by 1.4 points. Volume was notably elevated at 4.25 times the weekly average, signaling strong interest. However, net buying occurred on only 1 of the 7 days, with total volume delta for the period at -$8,850,233. This suggests that despite high volume and price gains, sustained net accumulation has been limited to a single day.
