How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for INJ, measured when this story was written up on 28 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows INJ trading at $7.80 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.0%, indicating a slight majority of buyers over sellers. However, shorter-term pressure has shifted, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 48.9% and the 4-hour ratio falling further to 43.8%. This decline in short-term buying interest coincides with negative volume deltas of -$8,451 over the last hour and -$271,783 over the last four hours. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, so negative figures suggest that sellers are currently overpowering buyers in these timeframes. Despite this recent dip, the 24-hour volume delta remains positive at +$398,086, and cumulative buying pressure over the day closed at +$158,361 CVD. The market processed $9,774,428 in spot volume across 145,910 trades in the last 24 hours, with net buying occurring in only 10 of those hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 53.4% sits at the 91st percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.8% - among the strongest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for INJ, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, INJ experienced a 7-day average buy ratio of 49.3%, making the latest day's 52.0% ratio 2.7 points higher than the weekly norm. Trading activity was notably subdued, with spot volume reaching just 0.48 times the weekly average. This lower volume contributed to a total 8-day volume delta of -$1,443,841, contrasting with the positive 24-hour delta. Price action remained flat, recording only a +0.1% change over the eight-day period. With only two days of net buying recorded in the last week, this represents a period of limited bullish conviction compared to typical trading days.
