How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for ONDO, measured when this story was written up on 18 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
ONDO is trading at $0.3723 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 37.5% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 35.5%, both significantly lower than the 48.7% buy ratio recorded over the last 24 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term compared to the recent daily average. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, showing -$87,056 in the last hour, -$610,732 over four hours, and -$728,463 over 24 hours. A negative volume delta means that sellers are dominating the market, pushing the price down as more volume is executed on the sell side than the buy side. Despite this, the market saw 145,210 trades and $27,553,608 in spot volume over the past day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.1% sits at the 32nd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.5% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for ONDO, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the buy ratio averaged 49.3%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 48.7% slightly below average by 0.6 points. Volume has been unusually high, reaching 2.57 times the weekly average. While the price rose 8.7% over eight days, the total volume delta for that period was -$1,245,326, indicating net selling pressure despite the price increase. This week saw net buying on only 3 of the 7 days, suggesting a mixed trend leading into this news event.
