How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETH, measured when this story was written up on 29 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ETH is trading at $2,442.80 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 64.9%, indicating strong short-term buying pressure. This contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 54.1% and the 24-hour ratio of 46.3%, showing that buying interest is building rapidly in the immediate term. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$5,416,772, while the 24-hour delta is negative at -$65,711,416. A positive volume delta means buyers are aggressively hitting ask prices, while a negative delta suggests sellers have dominated over the longer period. The CVD for the 24-hour close is -$59,227,031, confirming that net selling pressure has outweighed buying over the full day.
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.
Twenty-four hours later
What ETH did over the 23 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 same Binance spot measurements for ETH, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.8%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 46.3% slightly below the weekly norm. Trading volume is currently at 0.85x the average, indicating lower-than-usual activity. The price has dropped 2.9% over the past 8 days, with a total volume delta of +$119,917,358 for the period. While there were 5 days of net buying out of 7, the recent short-term surge in buying has not yet reversed the weekly downtrend. This represents a shift from a week of generally mixed flows to a day of concentrated short-term accumulation.
