bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that as Bitcoin surpasses $86,000 and invigorates the broader cryptocurrency market, Shiba Inu (SHIB) has emerged as a focal point. Traditionally recognized for a subdued performance in the year’s third quarter, this year has surprised observers with a significant 39.3% increase. The asset has thus defied trends with a remarkable performance in October.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
SHIB is trading at $0.000005770 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 60.5%, indicating that buyers are currently dominating the short-term flow. This short-term aggression contrasts with the 4-hour buy ratio of 51.8% and the 24-hour ratio of 52.1%, suggesting that while buying pressure is building in the immediate term, it is more balanced over longer intervals. The volume delta shows a net inflow of +$68,750 over the last hour and +$79,337 over four hours, reflecting active accumulation. Over the past 24 hours, the net volume delta stands at +$226,228 with a cumulative volume delta of +$162,700, confirming that buying has outweighed selling pressure. Spot volume reached $5,294,559 across 42,705 trades, with net buying occurring in 13 of the last 24 hours.
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 49.6%, meaning the current 24-hour ratio of 52.1% represents a shift toward stronger buying sentiment compared to the recent norm. The latest day’s buy ratio is 2.5 percentage points higher than the weekly average, highlighting a distinct change in trader behavior. Volume has been lighter than usual, trading at 0.58 times the average, while the total volume delta for the eight-day period reached +$666,725. Net buying occurred on 3 of the past 7 days, and the price increased by 11.8% over this eight-day window. This indicates that while volume is subdued, the recent price action and improved buy ratios mark an unusual day relative to the weekly average.
