tradersunion.com reports that Worldcoin (WLD) is trading at $0.4672, up 9.26% from the previous session. This movement follows the unlocking of 69 million WLD tokens on September 7, 2026, which increased circulating supply and market activity. The unlock drove trading volumes and open interest above their 30-day averages, according to Diariobitcoin.
Institutional interest is highlighted by Eightco Holdings, which holds nearly 302 million WLD tokens, representing roughly 29% of its digital asset holdings. Technically, WLD sits above the hourly MA-20 at $0.4669 and the MA-50 at $0.4369. On the daily timeframe, the price remains well above the MA-200 at $0.3584.
Immediate support is found at the Ichimoku Kijun level of $0.4598. Momentum indicators show a strong buy signal on the MACD and a buy confirmation from the ADX. The RSI stands at 55.4, supporting a modest bullish bias despite mixed readings from other oscillators.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for WLD, measured when this story was written up on 8 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows WLD trading at $0.4778, with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.2% indicating net buying dominance over the full day. However, shorter-term pressure has shifted, as the 1-hour buy ratio dropped to 45.4% and the 4-hour ratio sits at 49.6%, suggesting buying momentum is fading intraday. This reversal is confirmed by negative volume deltas of -$216,530 over the last hour and -$89,582 over four hours, meaning sell volume exceeded buy volume in those windows. Despite the short-term dip, the 24-hour volume delta remains positive at +$2,973,709, with a cumulative CVD of +$2,108,176 at close. Net buying occurred in 15 of the last 24 hours, supporting a total spot volume of $67,536,973 across 468,599 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.7% sits at the 74th percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 49.3% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for WLD, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
The current 24-hour buy ratio of 52.2% is 2.5 percentage points higher than the seven-day average of 49.7%, marking an unusual day of elevated buying interest. Trading volume for the day reached $67,536,973, which is 3.74 times the average daily volume, indicating significantly heightened activity. This surge in volume contributed to an 8-day price increase of 31.0%, with a total volume delta of +$2,686,793 recorded over the week. Net buying was observed on four out of the seven days, showing consistent but intermittent institutional or whale accumulation. The combination of above-average volume and a higher buy ratio suggests this day stands out compared to the preceding week's typical trading patterns.
