How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ETHFI, measured when this story was written up on 30 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ETHFI is trading at $0.7735 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 59.5%, indicating strong short-term buying pressure. This contrasts with a 4-hour buy ratio of 45.4%, suggesting that recent momentum is outpacing the broader four-hour trend. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 53.7%, showing that buying has been the dominant force over the full day. Volume delta data reflects this activity, with a positive $198,443 in the last hour and a cumulative $1,096,565 over 24 hours. A positive volume delta means buyers are actively absorbing sell orders, pushing the price up. The coin saw 11 hours of net buying out of 24, confirming sustained demand.
The latest daily buy ratio of 47.2% sits at the 18th percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 49.5% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ETHFI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 53.7% is 4.1 percentage points higher than the 7-day average of 49.6%. This indicates that today’s buying intensity is notably stronger than usual. Trading volume is also elevated, running at 2.30 times the average daily volume. Over the past eight days, the price has increased by 9.1%. This week saw only 2 days of net buying, making today’s sustained buying activity an unusual and significant deviation from the recent norm.
