How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for LINK, measured when this story was written up on 19 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
LINK is trading at $12.23 on Binance spot, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 50.2% indicating a slight edge for buyers in the immediate term. However, the 4-hour buy ratio has dipped to 46.1%, suggesting that buying pressure is fading over a slightly longer timeframe compared to the 24-hour average of 51.4%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$4,062, showing recent net inflows, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$446,191, indicating net outflows over that period. Volume delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume, so positive values mean more money is flowing in than out. The 24-hour cumulative volume delta stands at +$775,188, confirming that net buying has dominated the day despite the recent 4-hour dip. Spot volume for the period reached $43,249,424 across 397,103 trades.
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.
Was that an ordinary day?

Net buying occurred on 5 of the 7 days, contrasting with the mixed 11-of-24 hours seen in the current 24-hour window.
