What Whalio's data showed
Binance spot order flow for BTC, measured when this story was published on 26 August 2026.
The 24-hour buy ratio of 51.0% indicates a near-even split between buyers and sellers, though volume delta is strongly positive at over $40 million. However, the 1-hour buy ratio drops to 48.4% with a negative volume delta of -$2.3 million, suggesting immediate selling pressure. The 4-hour metrics show a more balanced picture with a 53.1% buy ratio and positive delta, indicating recent accumulation. The negative 24-hour CVD of -$3.4 million contrasts with the high spot volume, implying that while volume is high, net selling pressure has persisted over the full day. Buying pressure appears to be fading in the short term despite the longer-term positive delta.
