deythere.com reports that Shiba Inu and Floki remain established meme coins while a new project called Apeing gains traction. Apeing has raised over $95,000 in its live presale, with Stage 4 offering 300 million tokens at $0.0005 each. The project operates on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token with staking rewards ranging from 10% to 85% APY depending on the tier.
Its smart contracts are audited by SpyWolf, SCRL, and Coinsult, with liquidity locked for 18 months. Meanwhile, Shiba Inu continues to operate within the Ethereum ecosystem, boasting over 1.5 million holders. SHIB has experienced extended consolidation near major support levels throughout 2026.
The Shibarium infrastructure upgrade has helped restore network functionality and maintain visibility. Floki also maintains relevance through community growth and marketing efforts, with traders watching key resistance levels.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 20 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Shiba Inu is trading at $0.000005510 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 58.5%, indicating short-term bullish sentiment. This contrasts with a 4-hour buy ratio of 52.7% and a 24-hour ratio of 48.3%, suggesting that buying pressure is building in the immediate term. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$24,441, while the 4-hour delta is +$60,973. However, the 24-hour volume delta is negative at -$210,230, showing that net selling has dominated the full day. The cumulative volume delta at the close of the 24-hour period is -$27,788. This indicates that while recent hours saw net buying, the overall daily flow remains net negative.
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 average buy ratio was 47.7%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 48.3% slightly above average. The 24-hour spot volume of $6,153,600 is 1.48 times the weekly average volume, indicating unusually high activity. The 8-day price change is +4.0%, with a total volume delta of -$1,108,004 for the period. Only 2 of the last 7 days saw net buying, highlighting inconsistent accumulation. This volume surge suggests heightened interest despite the negative weekly delta.
