How the market reacted

BTC trades at $76,206.01 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 52.8% and a 4-hour ratio of 49.3%, compared to a 24-hour ratio of 50.6%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $1,168,234, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$2,031,285. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is strongly positive at $13,440,699, with a CVD of $59,068,487. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term, as the 1-hour ratio exceeds the 24-hour average. The positive volume delta means buyers are executing more market orders than sellers. Spot volume reached $1,129,239,634 with 3,057,694 trades in 24 hours. Net buying occurred for 16 of the 24 hours.
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.
