How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 8 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK trades at $13.33 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 47.0%, indicating that nearly half of all volume is buying pressure. The 1-hour buy ratio of 46.6% and the 4-hour ratio of 46.9% are slightly lower than the daily average, suggesting that short-term buying momentum is fading relative to the longer timeframe. Volume Delta reflects this imbalance, showing a net outflow of -$49,352 in the last hour and -$130,895 over four hours. Over the full day, the Volume Delta sits at -$1,481,189, with a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) of -$1,440,434 at close. This means sellers have dominated the flow, pushing the net delta into negative territory despite the buy ratio remaining near parity. Only 7 out of 24 hours saw net buying, confirming that selling pressure was the dominant force throughout the day.
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.
