cryptotimes.io reported that the cryptocurrency market experienced broad weekly gains as capital rotated into alternative Layer-1 networks and DeFi protocols. Bitcoin maintained strong momentum above $80,000, with spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds absorbing roughly $4 billion in inflows since August. This liquidity expansion drove double-digit surges across select altcoins over the seven-day period ending September 25, 2026.
Ethena (ENA) rose 49 percent, Sui (SUI) advanced 45 percent, and Near Protocol (NEAR) increased 41 percent. Ondo (ONDO) gained 39 percent, while XRP climbed 22 percent. Santiment Intelligence data showed that on Friday, SUI rose 20 percent, ENA increased 17 percent, and both Chainlink (LINK) and NEAR advanced approximately 15 percent.
Of the top 100 assets tracked, 93 recorded gains on the day, marking a three-month high in altcoin participation. Bitcoin moved from levels below $63,000 in August to nearly $87,000 during the period under review.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for SUI, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
SUI is currently trading at $1.01 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 54.6%, indicating that buyers are slightly more aggressive than sellers over the full day. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 53.3% and the 4-hour ratio at 54.2%, showing that buying pressure remains steady and has not faded in the most recent short-term windows. The Volume Delta for the 24-hour period is +$6,972,434, meaning that the total value of buy orders exceeded sell orders by this amount. This positive delta, combined with a Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) of +$12,870,418, confirms that net buying has been the dominant force in the market. Whalio data shows that net buying occurred in 19 out of the last 24 hours, further supporting the view that demand is consistently outpacing supply.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.7% sits at the 54th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for SUI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, SUI recorded a 36.8% price change, significantly outperforming the current daily metrics. The 7-day average buy ratio was 50.1%, meaning the current 24-hour ratio of 54.6% is 4.5 percentage points higher than the weekly norm. This indicates that today is an unusual day for the coin, with buying intensity notably exceeding the average seen over the last seven days. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $74,510,417 is only 0.62 times the weekly average volume, suggesting that while buying pressure is strong, the total volume traded is lower than usual for this period. The weekly Volume Delta totaled +$13,765,775, providing a broader baseline against which today's +$6,972,434 delta can be measured.
