bitcoinethereumnews.com reported that Bitcoin rebounded toward $81,000 following a Wall Street open boosted by Nvidia earnings. BTC/USD reached new local highs of $80,808 as bulls attempted to cement $80,000 as support. Nvidia posted Q2 earnings of $96.2 billion, exceeding expectations by nearly $4 billion.
This surprise caused Nvidia stock to surge more than 9%, adding over $400 billion to its market cap. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 1% during the period. Trading resource The Kobeissi Letter noted Nvidia was on track for the third-largest single-day market cap gain in history.
Markets are now focusing on the Jackson Hole economic symposium and Chair Kevin Warsh’s keynote speech. Nationwide chief US economist Kathy Bostjancic stated Warsh’s address is key given the jump in long-term interest rates. Analyst David Eng described the liquidity wall up to $86,000 as weakening ahead of an August options expiry. He noted that breaking $82K would clean the path to $85K+.
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 data shows BTC trading at $79,023.75 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%, indicating near-even market participation. Short-term pressure is slightly bearish, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 44.5% and the 4-hour ratio at 46.3%. Volume deltas reflect this imbalance, showing -$5,843,612 in the last hour and -$26,934,662 over four hours. The cumulative volume delta closed at -$106,618,789 over 24 hours, signaling net selling pressure. This means sellers outweighed buyers in total value exchanged during this period. Net buying occurred in only 6 of the last 24 hours, suggesting a lack of sustained bullish momentum.
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.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9% is below the 7-day average of 51.6%, marking a 1.7 point decrease. Trading volume is also subdued, sitting at 0.54 times the weekly average. Despite this lower activity, the coin has seen a 14.0% price increase over the past eight days. Weekly volume deltas totaled +$445,688,281, contrasting with the current day's negative flow. This indicates that while recent hours show selling, the broader weekly trend remains net positive.
