How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for PUMP, measured when this story was written up on 30 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
PUMP is trading at $0.005889, with the buy ratio dropping from 50.6% over 24 hours to 47.7% over 4 hours and 39.0% over the last hour. This decline in the buy ratio indicates that buying pressure is fading relative to selling pressure in the short term. The volume delta shows a net outflow of -$1,133,728 in the last hour and -$280,729 over four hours, contrasting with a net inflow of +$772,769 over the past 24 hours. A negative volume delta means that sell volume has exceeded buy volume during these periods, pushing prices down. Despite the recent outflows, the cumulative volume delta for the 24-hour close is -$4,998,030, indicating a significant net selling pressure over the full day. Spot volume reached $78,454,691 with 581,096 trades, showing high activity despite the shift toward sellers.
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.
Over the preceding week, PUMP saw a 31.3% price increase with a volume delta of +$3,922,865. The 24-hour volume of $78,454,691 is 1.91 times the weekly average, marking this as an unusually active day for the coin. While the 24-hour buy ratio of 50.6% is slightly above the weekly average of 50.5%, the recent hourly drop to 39.0% suggests a short-term reversal. This day represents a continuation of the upward trend but with a shift in immediate flow dynamics compared to the net buying seen over the full week.
