How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SOL, measured when this story was written up on 7 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows Solana trading at $106.55 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.2%. The 1-hour buy ratio is 52.5% and the 4-hour ratio is 53.1%, indicating stable buying pressure. Volume delta is positive across all timeframes, with $303,863 in the last hour and $2,044,162 over four hours. This cumulative buying contrasts with a negative CVD of -$12,992,147 at the 24-hour close. The buy ratio represents the percentage of volume driven by buyers, while volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume.
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.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SOL, averaged over the days leading up to the story.

This suggests a period of net buying, with four of seven days showing positive flow. Today's metrics align with this broader weekly trend of increased buyer dominance.
