The price sits above the Ichimoku Kijun at $0.2779, which provides a nearby support base. Technical indicators support the rally, with MACD and ADX signaling buy conditions while RSI remains high at 69.61.
The Stochastic RSI and CCI underline overbought conditions, and Bull/Bear Power remains positive at 0.0609. Analysts note that sustained bullish momentum reinforces the upward trend. The move included a $0.0467 advance and an opening gap of $0.0361. Focus now places on a potential breakout toward $0.3752 should bullish momentum persist.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for STX, measured when this story was written up on 20 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows STX trading at $0.3153, with a 1-hour buy ratio of 40.3% compared to a 4-hour ratio of 56.4%. This suggests that short-term buying pressure is fading relative to the immediate past. The 24-hour buy ratio sits at 48.2%, indicating a neutral stance over the longer timeframe. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing -$27,097 in the last hour versus +$189,075 over four hours. The 24-hour volume delta is -$176,632, with CVD closing at -$58,188. These figures indicate that while net buying occurred earlier, recent flow has been net selling. Spot volume for the 24-hour period was $5,122,724 across 46,162 trades.
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.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for STX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 48.9%, slightly higher than the current 24-hour reading of 48.2%. Volume was 2.42x the average, indicating an unusual level of activity compared to normal days. Net buying occurred on 4 of the last 7 days, with an 8-day price change of +17.5%. However, the total volume delta for the 8-day period was -$886,441, showing that selling pressure outweighed buying over the full cycle. This contrasts with the recent 24-hour volume surge, highlighting a divergence between volume intensity and net directional flow.
