How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for TRX, measured when this story was written up on 23 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio spot data for TRX shows a price of $0.3421 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 45.5%. However, buying pressure appears to be fading, as the 1-hour buy ratio dropped to 44.1% and the 4-hour ratio fell further to 34.2%. The volume delta reflects this shift, showing negative values of -$157,826 over the last hour and -$2,156,413 over the last four hours. Over the full day, the volume delta reached -$5,030,264, indicating that sellers have been more aggressive than buyers. The cumulative volume delta (CVD) at the 24-hour close stands at -$7,965,886. Net buying occurred for only 11 of the 24 hours, with a total spot volume of $57,269,062 across 79,527 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.7% sits at the 33rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 52.4% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for TRX, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 45.5% is below the 7-day average of 51.9%, representing a 6.4-point drop. Trading volume has surged to 2.02 times the average, suggesting heightened activity despite the lower buy ratio. Net buying was recorded for 5 of the past 7 days, with a total volume delta of +$1,203,629 over that period. The price has risen by 2.8% over the last 8 days. This day is unusual due to the significant increase in volume relative to the average, contrasting with the recent decline in buying pressure.
