How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for STRK, measured when this story was written up on 6 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for STRK shows a price of $0.05285 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 45.5% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 39.8%, both trailing the 24-hour buy ratio of 48.1%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term relative to the daily average. Volume Delta reflects this, showing net selling of -$30,204 over 1 hour and -$171,865 over 4 hours. The Volume Delta measures the difference between buy and sell volume; negative values mean sellers are dominating. Over 24 hours, the net selling totals -$472,831, confirming a sustained outflow of capital.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.5% sits at the 20th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 48.6% - weaker buying than most days.
