How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SHIB, measured when this story was written up on 28 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data shows SHIB trading at $0.000005420, reflecting a slight increase from the reported price. Over the last hour, the buy ratio stands at 51.6% with a positive volume delta of +$16,986, indicating immediate buying pressure. However, this momentum fades over longer timeframes, as the 4-hour buy ratio drops to 37.2% with a negative volume delta of -$148,191. The 24-hour buy ratio is 49.3% with a negative volume delta of -$47,844, suggesting that while short-term buyers are active, net selling pressure has dominated the day. CVD closed at +$31,163, showing that despite the negative delta, cumulative buying volume slightly exceeded selling volume over the full day.
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.
Twenty-four hours later

Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SHIB, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The 24-hour CVD of +$31,163 contrasts with the negative volume deltas, showing that the few buying trades were larger in size than the selling trades. This can indicate institutional accumulation or large buy orders absorbing sell pressure. However, the 4-hour negative delta of -$148,191 suggests that this buying was not sustained. The 7-day average buy ratio of 49.7% is nearly balanced, indicating a neutral weekly sentiment. Today's -0.4 pts deviation from this average is minimal, suggesting that the market is not significantly deviating from its recent behavior. The 9.7% price gain over 8 days on negative volume delta confirms that price is being supported by buying pressure despite net outflows.
