How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for XTZ, measured when this story was written up on 25 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
XTZ is trading at $0.3315 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 28.7%, which is notably lower than the 40.6% seen over the past 4 hours. The 24-hour buy ratio stands at 39.7%, indicating that buying pressure is currently fading compared to the recent 4-hour window. Volume Delta is negative across all timeframes, with a 1-hour delta of -$16,048 and a 4-hour delta of -$22,747. This negative delta means that sellers are outweighing buyers in terms of volume flow, suggesting a bearish sentiment in the immediate short term. Only 3 hours of the last 24 hours saw net buying, highlighting a lack of sustained demand.
The latest daily buy ratio of 44.0% sits at the 8th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.6% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for XTZ, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 47.9%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 39.7% an 8.2 point drop from the norm. This suggests that today is an unusual day for the coin, characterized by weaker buying interest compared to the weekly average. Spot volume is also subdued, trading at just 0.19x the average volume. Despite the lower volume and reduced buy ratio, the price has risen 30.1% over the last 8 days. However, the 8-day total Volume Delta is -$1,090,355, indicating that selling pressure has been dominant despite the price increase.
