How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was written up on 4 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XRP is currently trading at $1.45 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 51.3%, indicating a slight edge for buyers over the full day. Short-term pressure is stronger, with the 1-hour buy ratio at 51.9% and the 4-hour ratio at 55.2%, suggesting buying momentum is building in the immediate term. This is confirmed by positive volume deltas, which measure the difference between buy and sell volume, showing net inflows of $345,474 in the last hour and $3,055,659 over four hours. The cumulative volume delta for the day stands at $7,657,154, with a closing cumulative volume delta of $8,931,626. Net buying occurred for 16 of the last 24 hours, supported by a spot volume of $301,760,325 across 1,503,687 trades.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.3% sits at the 67th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 48.2% - ordinary for this coin.
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 50.0%, meaning today's 24-hour ratio of 51.3% is 1.3 percentage points above the weekly norm. Trading volume has been unusually high, reaching 1.95 times the weekly average. While net buying occurred on 4 of the 7 days last week, the total volume delta for that period was $4,207,541. This contrasts with today's significantly higher single-day volume delta of $7,657,154. The price change over the eight-day period was -0.2%, showing that despite the volume spike, the broader trend remains relatively flat.
