How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for RLUSD, measured when this story was written up on 30 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
RLUSD trades at $1.00 with strong immediate buying pressure, as the 1-hour buy ratio stands at 92.2%. This is significantly higher than the 24-hour buy ratio of 60.1%, indicating that aggressive accumulation is accelerating in the short term. The volume delta reflects this surge, showing +$6,835,550 in the last hour compared to +$15,843,584 over the past day. A high buy ratio means buyers are dominating trades, while a positive volume delta signals net capital inflow into the spot market. This data confirms that buying intensity is building rapidly over the last hour.
The latest daily buy ratio of 39.6% sits at the 19th percentile of the last 267 days, against a median of 52.6% - weaker buying than most days.
