How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for USDC, measured when this story was written up on 31 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
USDC trades at $1.00 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 53.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 52.7%, both showing positive volume deltas of $4,391,490 and $28,289,461 respectively. These short-term figures indicate that buying pressure is currently building, as more capital is flowing into spot orders than out. However, the 24-hour buy ratio drops to 46.2% with a negative volume delta of -$87,103,302, suggesting that this recent buying is offset by larger selling over the full day. The CVD for the 24-hour close sits at -$106,645,390, confirming that net selling has dominated the longer timeframe despite the recent uptick.
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.
