How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PEPE, measured when this story was written up on 26 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for PEPE shows a price of $0.000004490 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.6%, indicating that buyers have slightly outpaced sellers over the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio of 52.8% suggests immediate buying pressure is stronger than the 4-hour ratio of 43.6%, where sellers have dominated. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at +$1,375,396, meaning more money flowed in than out over the day, contrasting with a negative 4-hour delta of -$424,297 which shows recent selling. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) closed at -$1,456,482, indicating that despite the net positive volume delta, the total volume of sell orders has exceeded buy orders over the period. Net buying occurred for only 10 of the 24 hours, highlighting intermittent rather than consistent demand.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.3% sits at the 48th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for PEPE, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, PEPE saw a 17.5% price increase with a 7-day average buy ratio of 51.3%. The latest day's buy ratio of 51.6% is 0.3 points higher than the weekly average, showing a slight uptick in buying sentiment. However, spot volume was only 0.56x the average, indicating significantly lower trading activity compared to usual days. Net buying occurred for 5 of the 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$14,073,721 for the period. This suggests that while the recent day aligns with the weekly average in terms of buy ratio, the volume is unusually low, making it an atypical day for the coin.
