LINK is trading at $11.20 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 52.2% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 52.3%. These short-term figures indicate a slight majority of buyers compared to the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.9%. Volume delta shows positive net buying of $41,221 in the last hour and $197,289 over four hours, contrasting with a negative $29,845 over 24 hours. This suggests that buying pressure is building in the immediate term after a period of net selling. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy volume to total volume, while volume delta tracks the net difference between buy and sell volume. Positive volume delta indicates that buyers are aggressively absorbing sell orders.
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.
