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.
BTC is trading at $79,023.75 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 44.0% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 46.3%, both trailing the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the shorter timeframes compared to the full day. The 1-hour volume delta is -$9,365,201 and the 4-hour volume delta is -$26,934,662, showing that selling volume is outweighing buying volume in recent hours. The 24-hour volume delta is -$903,088, with a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) of -$101,371,176 at the close, confirming net outflows. Net buying occurred for only 6 of the last 24 hours, while spot volume reached $1,148,236,056 across 4,284,527 trades.
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 preceding week saw net buying on 6 of 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$445,688,281. This contrasts with the current day's net selling, marking a shift from the previous week's accumulation pattern.
