How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XLM, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XLM is trading at $0.2155 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.0%, indicating that buyers are currently in control of the immediate flow. This short-term bullishness contrasts with the 24-hour buy ratio of 48.5%, showing that buying pressure has faded over the full day. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$326,277, meaning more money is flowing in than out right now, while the 24-hour delta is negative at -$1,357,097. The cumulative volume delta for the day closed at -$722,341, confirming that net selling has outweighed buying over the longer timeframe. Spot volume reached $46,165,103 with 209,724 trades, but net buying occurred in only 10 of the last 24 hours.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.1% sits at the 31st percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 50.7% - ordinary for this coin.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XLM, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 49.5%, making the current 24-hour ratio of 48.5% slightly below the weekly norm by 1.0 percentage points. However, the 24-hour spot volume of $46,165,103 is 1.78 times the weekly average, marking this as an unusually active trading day. While the price rose 12.5% over eight days, the total volume delta for that period was negative -$3,129,273. Net buying was recorded on only 3 of the 7 days, suggesting that despite the price increase, selling pressure has been persistent over the week.
