What Whalio's data showed
Binance spot order flow for XRP, measured when this story was published on 26 August 2026.
The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 49.7%, indicating a near-even split between buyers and sellers over the full day. However, the 1-hour buy ratio has dipped to 49.8%, and the 1-hour volume delta is negative at -$28,962, suggesting immediate selling pressure is building. In contrast, the 4-hour buy ratio is higher at 53.2% with a positive volume delta of +$2,068,950, showing that buying pressure was stronger in the recent medium term. The cumulative volume delta for the 24-hour period is positive at $5,320,290, despite the price drop, which implies that buyers absorbed significant sell volume over the day. With only 12 of 24 hours showing net buying, the recent intraday shift toward negative delta indicates short-term weakness.
