bitcoinethereumnews.com reports that Crypto Banter analyst Ran has declared Solana the strongest chart in the crypto market. He backed this view by opening a 10x leveraged long position, buying 500 SOL tokens at an entry price of $105. Ran pointed to a technical breakout above a long-standing support and resistance level to justify the move.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was written up on 28 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Solana is currently trading at $109.14, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 61.4% compared to a 50.3% ratio over the past 4 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term, as the immediate ratio exceeds the longer 4-hour average. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at $5,475,916, showing that buyers are actively absorbing sell orders right now. Over the last 24 hours, the buy ratio sits at 53.7% with a cumulative volume delta of $40,126,001, confirming sustained demand. This flow data suggests that market participants are consistently choosing to buy over the past day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.8% sits at the 27th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.0% - weaker buying than most days.
Twenty-four hours later
What SOL did over the 24 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SOL, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, Solana saw net buying activity on all 7 days, with a 7-day average buy ratio of 52.5%. Today's 24-hour buy ratio of 53.7% is 1.2 percentage points higher than that weekly average. Volume for the day was 1.24 times the average, indicating significantly heavier trading activity than usual. The price has risen by 24.5% over the last 8 days, supported by a total volume delta of $193,216,755. This represents an unusual day for the coin, driven by volume and ratios both exceeding their weekly norms.
