tradersunion.com reports that Worldcoin (WLD) rose 7.11% to trade at $0.5902 on 4 October 2026. The project reduced daily token unlocks from 5.1 million to 2.9 million WLD, a move that decreases new supply entering the market. This reduction supports price stability and creates conditions for stronger demand, according to data from Tokenpost.
Trading volume increased by 45% to $639 million during the period. Worldcoin also expanded its human-verification services into six major U.S. cities, opening further demand potential. Short liquidations totaling $160,000 occurred in just one hour across Binance, Bybit, and OKX.
These liquidations forced rapid buybacks and contributed to upward market momentum. A net exchange inflow of 911,248 WLD as of 3 October 2026 highlights continued token movement onto exchanges. Technical indicators show WLD trading below the MA-20 but above the MA-50 and MA-200.
The Ichimoku Kijun at $0.5846 provides immediate support while MACD signals strong buy momentum. Analysts note that high trading activity and ecosystem expansion drive this bullish technical momentum. The $0.6244 resistance level is identified as a critical threshold for the next directional move.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for WLD, measured when this story was written up on 4 October 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows WLD trading at $0.5980 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.4%, indicating slightly more buyers than sellers over the full day. In contrast, the 1-hour buy ratio sits at 42.6% and the 4-hour ratio at 48.4%, suggesting that buying pressure is fading in the shorter timeframes. The 24-hour volume delta is positive at +$2,373,808, meaning cumulative buying exceeded selling over the day. However, the 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$267,849, showing that recent selling has outweighed buying in the last hour. Volume delta measures the net value of market orders, where positive values indicate aggressive buying and negative values indicate aggressive selling. The CVD at the 24-hour close remains positive at +$1,816,748, confirming that net aggressive buying dominated the session despite recent intraday weakness.
The latest daily buy ratio of 48.1% sits at the 31st percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.3% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for WLD, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the 7-day average buy ratio was 49.1%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 51.4% an increase of 2.3 points. Spot volume for the day was $81,274,531, which is 1.04 times the weekly average, indicating slightly higher than usual activity. While the 24-hour volume delta was positive, the 8-day total volume delta was negative at -$6,829,638. This shows that despite today's net buying, the broader weekly trend has been dominated by net selling pressure. Price has risen 14.4% over the eight-day period, with only 2 of the last 7 days showing net buying. This context suggests that today's positive flow is a deviation from the prevailing weekly selling trend rather than a sustained shift in momentum.
