bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that FTX Token [FTT] saw a price increase of 33.43% in 24 hours as renewed altcoin rotation and speculative liquidity pushed the token towards $0.30.

How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for FTT, measured when this story was written up on 21 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
FTT is currently trading at $0.2930 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.5%, indicating that buying pressure has been dominant over the full day. However, shorter-term metrics show a shift, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 38.8% and the 4-hour ratio at 49.4%, suggesting that immediate buying momentum is fading compared to the daily average. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at +$512,629, meaning more money flowed into spot buys than sells over the day. In contrast, the 1-hour volume delta is -$33,025, reflecting recent selling pressure that has reduced the net inflow. This divergence between the strong 24-hour trend and the weaker 1-hour snapshot indicates that while the day was net positive, recent trades have been more cautious.
The latest daily buy ratio of 39.4% sits at the 4th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.4% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for FTT, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, FTT experienced a 38.5% price change with a volume 34.38x higher than its average, marking an unusually active period. The 7-day average buy ratio was 47.5%, and today’s 24-hour ratio of 53.5% is 6.0 percentage points above that baseline, showing stronger-than-average buying intent. Despite this spike in volume and ratio, net buying occurred on only 2 of the 7 days, with an 8-day total volume delta of +$432,528. This context suggests that while today’s activity is significantly heavier than usual, sustained net accumulation has been intermittent throughout the week.
