How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 19 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is trading at $1.40 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 46.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 48.5%, both slightly below the 24-hour ratio of 48.7%. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term relative to the daily average. The 1-hour volume delta is -$392,796 and the 4-hour delta is -$1,073,210, showing net selling pressure. Over 24 hours, the volume delta stands at -$7,879,785, meaning sellers have dominated the flow. The Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) closed at -$11,374,265, confirming that selling volume exceeded buying volume across the day.
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 48.8%, with the latest day showing a negligible drop of 0.1 points. Volume was 1.30x the average, indicating significantly higher activity than usual. The coin saw a price change of +2.9% over 8 days, with a total volume delta of -$21,416,590. While volume is elevated, the net selling delta suggests the price rise occurred despite stronger-than-average selling pressure.
