Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Bitcoin’s 22% breakout began with a shift in U.S. Treasury-market liquidity. Analysts say its staying power will depend on whether ETF inflows and spot demand can replace the initial macro boost. The outlet notes that Bitcoin surged roughly 22% during its recent move.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows BTC trading at $79,023.75 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.2%, indicating balanced short-term activity. However, the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 43.7%, suggesting that buying pressure is fading over a slightly longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 49.9%, aligning closely with the 1-hour reading but highlighting the 4-hour weakness. Volume delta is positive +$74,763 in the last hour, but negative -$31,690,156 over 4 hours, meaning recent small trades favored buyers while larger recent blocks favored sellers. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is -$903,088 and CVD closes at -$117,857,789, showing net selling pressure dominated the day.
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.
Twenty-four hours later
What BTC did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
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 buy ratio averaged 51.6%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 49.9% slightly below the weekly norm by 1.7 points. Spot volume was 0.54x the average, indicating significantly lower trading activity than usual. While the coin saw net buying on 6 of 7 days previously, today’s negative volume delta marks a shift. The 8-day price change was +14.0%, with a total volume delta of +$445,688,281, contrasting with today’s net outflow. This suggests today is an unusual day for lower volume and net selling after a sustained weekly uptrend.
