How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SEI, measured when this story was written up on 28 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
SEI is trading at $0.07903 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 52.5%, indicating a slight shift toward buying pressure compared to the 4-hour ratio of 46.2%. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 52.4%, suggesting that buying interest remains steady over the longer term. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$23,551, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$373,448, showing that recent short-term buying is not enough to offset earlier selling. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is +$532,228 and the cumulative volume delta closed at +$1,003,274, indicating net buying activity over the full day. Spot volume reached $10,643,172 across 169,997 trades, with net buying occurring in 14 of the 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.5% sits at the 52nd 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 SEI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, SEI experienced a 48.1% price increase, with a 7-day average buy ratio of 49.5%. The latest day's buy ratio was 2.9 percentage points higher than the weekly average, signaling a temporary uptick in buying sentiment. Volume was 0.72x the average, indicating lower trading activity compared to the norm. Net buying occurred on 4 of the 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$519,138 for the period. This suggests that while the recent 24-hour buying pressure is stronger than the weekly average, the overall volume remains subdued compared to typical days.
