How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 8 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK is trading at $12.75 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 51.2%. These short-term figures are higher than the 24-hour buy ratio of 50.4%, indicating that buying pressure is building in the immediate term. The volume delta shows net inflows of +$96,884 over the last hour and +$183,446 over the last four hours. Volume delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume, so positive numbers mean buyers are dominating sellers. Over the full day, the volume delta stands at +$550,290 against a cumulative sell volume of -$1,778,428. This suggests that while there is strong net buying, the total volume of sells remains substantial.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.4% sits at the 56th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - ordinary for this coin.
