How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETH, measured when this story was written up on 30 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ETH trades at $2,677.98 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.5%, indicating that buyers are currently dominating short-term spot activity. However, this momentum fades over longer timeframes, as the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 46.3% and the 24-hour ratio sits at 49.0%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$2,307,099, showing immediate net buying pressure, but the 4-hour delta is negative at -$5,989,603 and the 24-hour delta is -$16,127,947. This divergence suggests that while short-term traders are aggressive, larger timeframes show net selling pressure, with a cumulative volume delta of -$15,135,489 closing the 24-hour period.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.8% sits at the 16th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.5% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ETH, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 47.9%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 49.0% slightly above the norm by 1.1 points. Trading volume is 1.33x the weekly average, reflecting heightened activity compared to the usual pace. Despite the volume spike, net buying occurred on only 1 of the past 7 days, contrasting with the 12 hours of net buying recorded in the last 24 hours. The coin has declined 2.7% over the last 8 days, with a total volume delta of -$177,438,725 for the period.
