How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for FIL, measured when this story was written up on 19 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows FIL trading at $0.9436 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 55.4%, indicating that buyers controlled more than half of the volume over the day. This compares to a 4-hour buy ratio of 50.3% and a 1-hour ratio of 45.5%, suggesting that buying pressure was stronger earlier in the day and has slightly faded in the most recent hour. The 24-hour volume delta was positive at $1,896,755, meaning cumulative buying exceeded selling over the full day. In contrast, the 1-hour volume delta was negative at -$136,285, showing that recent selling pressure outweighed buying in the short term. The CVD for the 24-hour close was +$1,031,070, confirming net accumulation over the period. Spot volume reached $17,593,298 across 264,637 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.1% sits at the 54th percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 48.9% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for FIL, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 48.1%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 55.4% an unusual day with a 7.2 point increase. However, the 24-hour volume of $17,593,298 was only 0.90x the weekly average, indicating lower-than-average activity. Net buying occurred on just 1 of the 7 days in the period. The 8-day price change was +20.1%, despite a total volume delta of -$2,443,974 over that timeframe. This context highlights that while buying intensity is currently high relative to the weekly average, it is not yet the norm for the coin.
