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.
Whalio’s Binance spot data for XRP shows a price of $1.54 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.8%. In the last hour, the buy ratio rose to 59.8%, while the 4-hour ratio stands at 54.0%, indicating that buying pressure is building compared to the daily average. The volume delta for the last hour is +$2,813,152, and for the 4-hour period, it is +$5,200,007, showing increasing net buying activity. A positive volume delta means that buy volume exceeded sell volume during that timeframe. Over the last 24 hours, the volume delta is +$27,660,163, with a cumulative CVD of +$29,160,961 at close. Net buying occurred for 20 of the last 24 hours, confirming sustained demand.
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 7-day average buy ratio was 49.4%, making today’s 24-hour ratio of 52.8% an unusual day with a 3.4 point increase. Spot volume was 1.84x the weekly average, highlighting significantly higher activity. Only 2 of the last 7 days saw net buying, making this a relatively uncommon period of sustained demand. The price change over the 8-day period was +8.0%, aligning with the recent surge. The total volume delta for the week was +$7,586,991, which is lower than the single-day delta, suggesting the recent activity is a notable spike rather than a week-long trend.
