PancakeSwap jumps 13.6%, its biggest day on record

PancakeSwap (CAKE) Whalio analysis Editor: Eugene Serbin

On 5 September 2026, PancakeSwap closed at $2.246 on Binance spot, representing a 13.61% rise for the day. Within the 282 days of order-flow data Whalio holds for CAKE, no other day has recorded a larger move.

Turnover reached $18.6M, marking the 9th-largest daily figure on record; the heaviest day measured was $47.2M on 11 November 2025. This figure is 6.7 times the median day of $2.8M.

Binance registered 168,360 trades over the day, compared to a median of 29,505. The average trade was $110, against $94 on a median day.

The buy ratio - the share of turnover that hit the ask rather than the bid - came in at 47.3%, placing it in the 14th percentile of this coin's own history. Net taker selling totalled $1M, or 5.4% of the day's turnover.

The pressure behind the move was close to even: net flow came to only 5.4% of turnover, so buyers and sellers crossed the spread in similar size even as the price moved.

These figures cover Binance spot only. Order flow records which side of the book crossed the spread, not who sent the order or why, and a coin can trade very differently on another venue or in futures.
