How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was written up on 24 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Bitcoin is trading at $84,397.60 with a 24-hour spot volume of $1,887,736,866. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 39.8%, while the 4-hour ratio is 46.9%, both trailing the 24-hour average of 46.7%. This drop in the shorter timeframes indicates that buying pressure is fading compared to the daily trend. The 1-hour volume delta is -$9,012,571, and the 4-hour delta is -$15,843,766. These negative deltas mean that sell volume has exceeded buy volume in the recent hours. Over the full day, the cumulative volume delta closed at -$94,666,068, showing a net outflow of capital.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.7% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
