How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for VET, measured when this story was written up on 11 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
VET is trading at $0.007620 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 64.6% compared to a 24-hour average of 50.7%, indicating short-term buying pressure is building. The 4-hour buy ratio sits at 49.7%, showing that momentum is fading over the medium term relative to the daily average. Volume delta reflects this shift, with positive inflows of $57,758 in the last hour offsetting a negative $6,818 over four hours. Over 24 hours, the net volume delta is +$89,618, with cumulative volume delta closing at +$63,791. This means buyers have outweighed sellers by that net amount in the last day. Spot volume reached $5,992,532 across 95,741 trades in 24 hours. Net buying occurred for 12 of the last 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 46.7% sits at the 13th percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 50.2% - weaker buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for VET, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 53.3%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 50.7% slightly below average by 2.5 points. Volume is significantly elevated at 3.08 times the weekly average, marking this as an unusual day for trading activity. The coin saw a price change of +12.5% over the last eight days. Total volume delta for the week was +$702,160, with net buying occurring on 6 of the 7 days. This volume spike contrasts with the slightly lower buy ratio, suggesting high turnover rather than sustained directional bias.
