BitcoinEthereumNews.com reports that NEAR emerged as a major beneficiary after the wider crypto sector saw gains over the last 48 hours. The protocol recorded price gains of over 10%, driven by improving network activity that lent strength to the rally. This bullish push cleared new heights in terms of Total Value Locked, marking a new all-time high for the asset. Despite this fundamental growth, the outlet questions whether the price action has fully reflected these developments.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 20 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
NEAR is trading at $3.59 with a spot volume of $183,204,038 over the last 24 hours. The buy ratio stands at 49.9% for the last hour, 46.2% for the last four hours, and 49.3% for the full day. This indicates that buying pressure is currently fading, as the short-term buy ratio is higher than the four-hour reading. Volume delta shows net selling pressure, with -$18,098 in the last hour and -$1,784,914 over four hours. The cumulative volume delta for the day closed at -$2,351,450, meaning sellers have dominated the flow despite the positive news.
The latest daily buy ratio of 49.0% sits at the 37th percentile of the last 324 days, against a median of 49.7% - ordinary for this coin.
