How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BNB, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows BNB trading at $683.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.4% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 53.4%, indicating short-term buying pressure is building compared to the 24-hour buy ratio of 47.9%. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing positive inflows of +$10,233 over the last hour and +$721,043 over four hours, contrasting with a 24-hour volume delta of -$2,567,895. The buy ratio represents the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume. Despite a negative cumulative volume delta (CVD) of -$2,372,336 at the 24-hour close, recent hourly flows suggest a potential shift toward net buying.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.4% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for BNB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 51.0%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 47.9% 3.1 percentage points lower than the weekly average. Trading volume was 0.74x the average, indicating a quieter day than usual. Net buying occurred on 5 of the past 7 days, with a total 8-day volume delta of +$1,380,500. This suggests that while the immediate 24-hour period saw reduced activity and lower buying dominance, the broader weekly trend has been characterized by net positive volume flows.
