How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETH, measured when this story was written up on 6 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ETH is trading at $2,709.98 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 55.7%, indicating that buyers have controlled the majority of volume over the full day. However, short-term pressure has shifted, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 44.8% and a negative volume delta of -$3,099,451 in the last hour. This contrasts with the 4-hour window, where the buy ratio stands at 54.4% and volume delta is positive at +$8,884,217. The buy ratio shows the percentage of volume driven by buyers versus sellers, while the volume delta measures the net value of buy orders minus sell orders. The recent one-hour data suggests a temporary fade in buying momentum compared to the stronger accumulation seen over the previous four hours.
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 7-day average buy ratio was 49.8%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 55.7% an unusual day with 5.8 points more buying than the weekly average. Spot volume was 1.09x the weekly average, reflecting heightened activity. Despite this increased volume, the 8-day volume delta was -$78,807,407, showing that net selling pressure has outweighed buying over the longer timeframe. Price has risen only 0.8% over eight days, with net buying occurring on just 3 of the 7 days. This indicates that while today is an outlier for buy ratio strength, the broader weekly trend remains dominated by net outflows.
