How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRUMP, measured when this story was written up on 28 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows the price at $2.55 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 49.4%, which is lower than the 50.4% seen in the 4-hour and 24-hour windows. This suggests that short-term buying pressure is fading relative to the broader daily trend. Volume delta reflects this shift, showing a -$55,440 outflow in the last hour compared to a +$165,376 inflow over four hours. Volume delta measures the net difference between buy and sell volume, indicating whether more money is flowing in or out. Despite the hourly dip, the 24-hour volume delta remains positive at +$557,733, showing that net buying has dominated the full day.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.2% sits at the 50th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.2% - ordinary for this coin.
