How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.54 on Binance spot, with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.8% indicating that buyers are currently in control of the market flow. This buying pressure is stronger than the recent 1-hour reading of 50.2% and the 4-hour reading of 52.1%, suggesting that momentum is building rather than fading. The 24-hour volume delta is +$27,660,163, meaning that aggressive market buy orders have significantly outweighed sell orders over the last day. This positive delta, combined with a CVD of +$27,660,163, confirms that net buying activity is driving the current price action.
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, XRP saw a 7-day average buy ratio of 49.4%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 52.8% an unusual day with a 3.4 point increase in buying dominance. Spot volume for the 24-hour period was $496,654,234, which is 1.84 times the average daily volume, highlighting a significant surge in trading activity compared to the norm. While the 8-day price change was +8.0%, the current day stands out as a period of heightened participation relative to the weekly baseline. This volume spike and ratio shift indicate a distinct deviation from the coin's typical trading patterns over the last seven days.
