How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for OP, measured when this story was written up on 29 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
OP is trading at $0.1343 with a spot volume of $7,644,162 over the last 24 hours. The buy ratio stands at 42.0% for the last hour and 47.6% for the last four hours, compared to 45.8% over 24 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term relative to the daily average. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, showing -$78,629 in the last hour and -$63,239 in the last four hours. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is -$638,849, with a cumulative volume delta (CVD) of -$751,463 at the close. This means that sell volume has exceeded buy volume, resulting in net outflows from the spot market. Only 4 out of 24 hours experienced net buying, suggesting a predominantly selling trend.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.5% sits at the 41st percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.1% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for OP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the buy ratio averaged 51.3%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 45.8% notably lower by 5.5 percentage points. Volume was 0.80 times the average, indicating lighter trading activity than usual. While the coin saw a +5.3% price change over eight days, the recent flow is weaker than the weekly norm. The 24-hour volume delta of -$638,849 contrasts with the weekly total of +$1,068,147, showing a reversal from net buying to net selling. This is an unusual day compared to the six days of net buying seen in the prior week.
