cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Bittensor (TAO) has become one of the strongest movers in the crypto market, jumping nearly 20% to reclaim the $320 area. This move has pushed the price toward a major resistance band that has capped several previous recovery attempts, bringing a potential trend reversal into focus. The asset enters this setup with a tightening emission. The publication asks whether a price of $1,000 is possible following this surge.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TAO, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Bittensor is currently trading at $319.40, with spot volume reaching $92,348,987 over the last 24 hours. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 52.6%, indicating that buyers have controlled the majority of volume over the full day. However, shorter-term momentum shows signs of cooling, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 47.1% and the 4-hour ratio at 44.5%. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume; the negative deltas of -$266,398 (1h) and -$1,439,037 (4h) suggest immediate selling pressure is outweighing buying pressure. This contrasts with the positive 24-hour volume delta of +$5,003,641 and a cumulative volume delta (CVD) of +$2,106,175, confirming that net buying dominated the longer timeframe despite recent dips.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.6% sits at the 64th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.8% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for TAO, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, TAO experienced a 37.4% price increase, with volume delta totaling +$5,527,075. The 7-day average buy ratio was 50.0%, meaning the current 24-hour ratio of 52.6% is 2.6 percentage points higher than the weekly norm. Trading activity was also intense, with 24-hour volume at 3.15 times the weekly average. While there were 3 days of net buying in the last week, the current 24-hour period represents one of only 10 hours of net buying in the last day, highlighting a shift from sustained weekly accumulation to more fragmented short-term flow.
