How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PUMP, measured when this story was written up on 17 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Pump.fun [PUMP] is currently trading at $0.003623, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 57.5% indicating that buyers are dominating short-term activity. However, this momentum is fading over longer periods, as the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 49.0% and the 24-hour ratio sits at 46.0%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$75,480, showing immediate buying pressure, but the 4-hour delta is negative at -$56,774. Over the last 24 hours, the volume delta is -$2,004,177, meaning sellers have outweighed buyers significantly in the daily timeframe. Despite this, the Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) for the 24-hour close is +$224,647, indicating that net buying pressure has been positive over the full day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 63rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for PUMP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Compared to the preceding week, the current 24-hour buy ratio of 46.0% is lower than the 7-day average of 49.3%, showing a 3.3-point decrease in buying dominance. Spot volume over the last 24 hours is $25,493,473, which is 0.85x the weekly average, indicating lighter trading activity. While there were 11 hours of net buying in the last day, the preceding week saw only 3 days of net buying. The price has declined by 11.4% over the last 8 days, with a total volume delta of -$4,765,080 for that period. This suggests that today's trading is part of a broader downtrend with reduced volume compared to the weekly norm.
