Cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that Bitcoin slipped toward $78,000 on Tuesday after another rejection near $80,000, extending a pullback that has erased much of last week’s rebound. BTC fell as low as $78,200 before hovering just above that level, leaving it roughly 4% below Thursday’s three-month high near $82,500. The renewed weakness shows how quickly Bitcoin’s recovery has stalled beneath persistent resistance, even after briefly pushing above $80,400 on Monday. Its market capitalization declined to about $1.570 trillion, while broader crypto market value fell around 1% to $2.670 trillion as selling spread across several major assets during Tuesday’s trading session.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 8 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.40 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 54.7%, which is higher than the 47.2% ratio recorded over the 4-hour timeframe. This divergence suggests that short-term buying pressure is building relative to the slightly longer 4-hour window, though the 24-hour buy ratio of 51.3% indicates a more balanced view over the full day. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$1,214,286, showing net buying in the immediate term, whereas the 4-hour delta is negative at -$1,170,077, indicating net selling over that longer period. The 24-hour volume delta stands at +$4,358,799, meaning that over the last day, buyers have outweighed sellers by that amount. CVD for the 24-hour close is -$5,537,103, reflecting the cumulative difference between buy and sell volume, while spot volume reached $163,450,565 across 590,287 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.6% sits at the 83rd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 48.5% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XRP, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.2%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 51.3% slightly above average by 1.1 points. Volume was at 0.98x the average, indicating trading activity was nearly identical to the weekly norm. Net buying occurred on 3 of the 7 days in the period, with a total volume delta of +$13,888,009. The price changed +1.2% over the 8-day period. This represents an ordinary day for the coin, as the current metrics align closely with the weekly averages without significant deviation.
