How the market reacted

BNB is currently trading at $779.50 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 66.8%, indicating strong short-term buying pressure. However, the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 44.0%, suggesting that buying momentum is fading over a slightly longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 48.7%, showing a near-even split in sentiment over the last day. Volume delta for the hour is positive at +$679,054, but turns negative at -$4,143,114 for the 4-hour period. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is -$1,864,930, and the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) at the close is -$5,130,934. This indicates that while immediate buying is active, sellers have dominated the volume over the past day.
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.
