cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Ethereum price is holding near $2,688 as sustained ETF inflows provide fresh market context. CryptoCupra identifies $3,500 as the key breakout level, with $4,000, $4,800, $5,500 and $6,500+ forming the analyst’s broader technical framework. The outlet notes that whale activity signals renewed interest in the asset. This technical setup suggests a path toward higher valuations if current support holds.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETH, measured when this story was written up on 27 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows ETH trading at $2,696.33 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 32.9%, indicating immediate selling pressure. However, the 4-hour buy ratio stands at 51.9%, suggesting that buying pressure is building over a slightly longer timeframe compared to the short term. The 24-hour buy ratio is 45.7%, showing a balance that leans slightly toward sellers over the full day. Volume Delta reflects this shift, with a negative $2,554,885 in the last hour but a positive $2,182,551 over four hours. This means that while recent trades have been predominantly sells, the broader four-hour trend has seen more buy volume than sell volume.
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 49.2%, making the current 24-hour reading of 45.7% slightly below the weekly norm. Volume was notably low, trading at 0.29x the average, which marks this as an unusual day for trading activity. Net buying occurred on only 2 of the 7 days, contrasting with the 7 hours of net buying seen in the last 24 hours. The 8-day price change was +2.4%, while the total Volume Delta for that period was -$53,808,409. This indicates that despite the price rise, selling pressure has dominated the weekly volume.
