cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Stacks price has exploded over 28% following the return of founder Muneeb Ali to an operating leadership role at Stacks Labs. This move provides a fresh catalyst as the network’s Bitcoin staking product moves into its expansion phase. The development occurs ahead of the next institutional Bitcoin staking round, putting STX at a critical resistance zone.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for STX, measured when this story was written up on 1 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows STX trading at $0.3719 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.7%, indicating a slight majority of buyers over the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio has dropped to 43.6%, suggesting that short-term buying pressure is fading compared to the broader daily trend. The 4-hour buy ratio sits at 51.2%, showing a more balanced view than the immediate 1-hour snapshot. Volume Delta turned negative in the last hour at -$31,480, meaning sell volume exceeded buy volume recently, though the 24-hour delta remains positive at +$265,884. This indicates that while recent trading saw more selling, the day’s overall flow was net buying.
The latest daily buy ratio of 55.9% sits at the 87th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 50.8% - stronger buying than most days.
