lookonchain.com reports that $UNI is pumping as the SEC opens the door to compliant trading on Uniswap v4. Two newly created wallets withdrew a total of 1.07M $UNI, valued at $8.38M, from Binance, Bybit, and OKX. The report highlights a whale holding UNI for over a year and a half who turned a $13 million unrealized loss into a profit.
Another whale's $17.67M $UNI purchase from February and March is now profitable with a $293K unrealized gain. A trader recently profited $448K by monitoring Binance's new listings. Last week, funds flowed into Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Hyperliquid.
A $PEPE whale transferred all 2.1T $PEPE ($52M) to a new address after 600 days of dormancy. Elon Musk's tweet about Moltbook caused the meme coin MOLT to surge 30% to a new all-time high of $114 million. A smart AI coin trader made $17.6M on $GOAT, $ai16z, $Fartcoin, and $arc. A sniper earned 2,277 $ETH ($8.3M) trading $SHIRO within 18 hours.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for UNI, measured when this story was written up on 18 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio's Binance spot data shows UNI trading at $7.79 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 53.6%, indicating that more volume is being bought than sold over the day. This contrasts with the 1-hour buy ratio of 51.7% and the 4-hour ratio of 45.6%, suggesting that buying pressure is building in the short term after a dip four hours ago. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at +$8,404,107, meaning net buying has outweighed selling over the full day. In the last hour, volume delta is positive at +$691,627, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$3,102,413, showing a recent shift from net selling to net buying. Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) closed at +$9,634,327, confirming sustained buying interest. Spot volume reached $114,952,430 with 695,393 trades, and there were 18 hours of net buying in the last 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.7% sits at the 13th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for UNI, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Compared to the preceding week, the current 24-hour buy ratio of 53.6% is +4.8 points higher than the 7-day average of 48.8%. This indicates a more bullish sentiment today than the weekly norm. Spot volume is 2.33x the weekly average, marking this as an unusually active trading day. The price change over the past 8 days is +30.9%, showing strong recent momentum. However, the 8-day volume delta total is -$1,820,856, meaning that despite high volume, net selling has slightly outweighed buying over the longer period. Only 2 of the last 7 days saw net buying, making today's sustained buying pressure a notable deviation from the weekly pattern.
