How the market reacted

Whalio spot data shows ETH trading at $2,684.71, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 48.7% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 54.2%. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 48.1%, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is slightly stronger than the daily average but remains below parity. Volume delta reflects this mix, showing a -$405,055 outflow in the last hour against a +$5,188,120 inflow over four hours. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is -$33,778,620, indicating that sellers have dominated the daily flow despite the 4-hour buying surge. The CVD at 24-hour close is -$39,820,709, 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.
