Zcash is trading at $1,546.62 with a 24-hour buy ratio of 55.8%, indicating that buyers have dominated the last day. However, short-term pressure has shifted, with the 1-hour buy ratio dropping to 45.3% and the 4-hour ratio at 46.9%. Volume delta reflects this recent shift, showing a net outflow of $1,869,245 in the last hour and $5,083,673 over four hours. The buy ratio measures the proportion of buy volume relative to total volume, while volume delta tracks the net difference between buying and selling pressure. Despite the recent hourly outflows, cumulative buying remains strong with a 24-hour volume delta of +$34,754,208 and a closing CVD of +$30,850,252.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.9% sits at the 82nd percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 50.2% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
