How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 27 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
In the immediate term, buying pressure appears to be building, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 55.9% and the 4-hour ratio at 50.9%, both exceeding the 24-hour average of 48.7%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$30,321, indicating net inflows, while the 4-hour delta is also positive at +$19,493. The buy ratio represents the percentage of trades executed by buyers versus sellers, showing that recent short-term activity is skewed toward accumulation. However, the 24-hour volume delta is negative at -$124,914, suggesting that over the full day, sellers have outweighed buyers. This divergence indicates that while recent momentum is bullish, the broader daily trend remains slightly bearish.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 11th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SHIB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the coin experienced a 7.6% price increase and recorded a total volume delta of +$1,035,044. The 7-day average buy ratio was 50.6%, but the latest day saw this drop by 2.0 percentage points. Trading volume was also subdued, sitting at 0.52x the weekly average. Compared to the 24-hour buy ratio of 48.7%, the weekly average of 50.6% suggests that today's activity is slightly below the recent norm. This indicates that while the weekly trend has been positive, today's specific metrics show a slight cooling in buying intensity relative to the week's average.
