How the market reacted

USD1 is trading at $0.9999 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 54.5% against a 4-hour ratio of 35.7%. This indicates that buying pressure is building in the short term, as the 1-hour ratio exceeds the 24-hour average of 45.8%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$1,424,857, contrasting with negative deltas of -$17,130,321 over 4 hours and -$9,617,867 over 24 hours. CVD closed at -$22,357,846 over the last 24 hours, showing that net selling has dominated the longer timeframe. Spot volume reached $113,738,355 with 234,582 trades in the same period. Net buying occurred for only 4 of the 24 hours, suggesting that the recent positive delta is a brief reversal rather than a sustained trend.
The latest daily buy ratio of 51.8% sits at the 68th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
