How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was written up on 5 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Bitcoin is trading at $79,660.77 with a spot volume of $1.5 billion over the last 24 hours. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 56.4%, indicating strong immediate buying pressure compared to the 41.5% ratio over the past 4 hours. However, the 24-hour buy ratio has settled at 48.3%, showing that buying interest has faded over the full day. Volume delta reflects this shift, with a positive $3.58 million in the last hour offsetting a negative $17.9 million over the past 4 hours. The 24-hour volume delta is -$50.3 million, and cumulative volume delta closed at -$21.1 million. This suggests that while short-term buyers are active, the overall daily flow has been net selling.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.4% sits at the 40th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.2% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for BTC, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.7%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 48.3% slightly below the norm by 2.4 points. Volume for the day was 1.40 times the average, indicating significantly higher activity than usual. The coin saw a price change of +2.3% over the eight-day period. Total volume delta for the week was +$92.7 million, with net buying occurring on 5 of the 7 days. This recent week shows a pattern of moderate buying pressure and above-average volume, contrasting with the net outflow seen in the last 24 hours.
