Basic Attention Token (BAT), the token of the Brave browser's advertising system, spent the first fifteen hours of October 15, 2026 drifting between $0.165 and $0.181 on Binance, with hourly volume of a few hundred thousand dollars.

In the 15:00 UTC hour it jumped from $0.177 to $0.197 on $700,000 of volume, four times the morning's pace, then gave back a third of the move within the hour. The second burst came at 18:00 UTC, from $0.190 to a $0.2133 close on $1.1 million, and the following hour was the busiest of the day at $1.3 million. The high of $0.2236, 29.8% above the previous close, came at 23:00 UTC.

BAT closed the day at $0.2159, up 25.30%, its highest close in 40 days, on $10.1 million of volume, 2.2 times its 20-day average. By 03:00 UTC on October 16 it had slipped to $0.194, about 13% below the high, before stabilising near $0.20.

Worth watching in the replay: the first burst faded quickly, the second held. That difference — whether the price keeps the gains of an hour of heavy buying — is usually the best early clue to whether a spike has further to go.
