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.
Bitcoin is trading at $79,023.75 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.2%, indicating balanced immediate sentiment. However, the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 43.7%, showing that selling pressure is increasing over a slightly longer timeframe. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 49.9%, suggesting that over the full day, buyers and sellers are nearly evenly matched. Volume delta data reveals a net outflow of -$31,690,156 over 4 hours, contrasting with a small net inflow of +$74,763 in the last hour. This divergence suggests that while short-term buying exists, larger timeframes are experiencing significant net selling. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta is -$903,088, and the CVD closes at -$117,857,789, confirming a dominant selling trend over 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.
