Chainlink powers Coinbase’s cbBTC expansion to Robinhood Chain

How the market reacted

Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 27 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.

LINK trades at $11.62 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 54.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 54.5%, both indicating that buyers are currently in control. These short-term figures contrast with the 24-hour buy ratio of 48.9%, suggesting that the immediate buying pressure is fading relative to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$154,868, while the 4-hour delta sits at +$741,083, showing that recent trades are net buying. However, the 24-hour volume delta is negative at -$487,115, indicating that over the full day, sellers have dominated the flow. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is +$1,480,769, meaning that despite the recent dip, the total volume of buys has exceeded sells by this amount over 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.

Twenty-four hours later

What LINK did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.

Was that an ordinary day?

The same Binance spot measurements for LINK, averaged over the days leading up to the story.

Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.5%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 48.9% slightly below the norm by 0.6 points. Weekly volume was just 0.40x the average, indicating significantly lower trading activity than usual. Only 2 of the past 7 days saw net buying, highlighting that sustained accumulation is rare for this asset recently. The price has risen 10.1% over the last 8 days, with a total volume delta of +$255,173 for that period. This current day's activity reflects a continuation of the weekly trend where buying pressure is generally weak and volume is subdued.
