How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for USDC, measured when this story was written up on 29 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
USDC is trading at $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 42.3% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 48.0%. These short-term figures are lower than the 24-hour buy ratio of 49.3%, indicating that buying pressure is fading in the immediate term. The volume delta shows net selling, with -$19,196,260 in the last hour and -$33,947,001 over four hours. Over 24 hours, the volume delta is -$48,382,853, and the cumulative volume delta at the close is -$261,116,072. This means that more money has flowed out of USDC spot markets than has flowed in. There were only 4 hours of net buying in the last 24 hours out of 651,316 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.2% sits at the 73rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.4% - stronger buying than most days.
