cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that NEAR Protocol sits on a liquidity pool that has held for years, a pattern contributing to bullish signals among altcoin analysts. The outlet notes that the crypto market has undergone a full 180-degree flip in sentiment since Bitcoin surged from the $60,000 price range to the $80,000 price range. This shift moved the community from expecting deeper drops to declaring the start of the early bull market phase. Despite altseason being skipped in the last bull cycle, analysts remain strong in holding or accumulating their most faithful altcoins.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 2 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
NEAR is trading at $1.89 with a 24-hour spot volume of $46,599,478. The buy ratio is nearly balanced across all timeframes, sitting at 49.0% for 1 hour, 50.9% for 4 hours, and 49.9% for 24 hours. Volume delta shows mixed short-term pressure, with a net outflow of $25,039 in the last hour contrasting against a net inflow of $79,136 over the past four hours. Over the full day, the cumulative volume delta closed at -$1,172,788, indicating that sellers have dominated the total flow despite the balanced buy ratio. This suggests that while buy and sell sides are evenly matched in frequency, the larger orders are leaning toward selling.
The latest daily buy ratio of 52.5% sits at the 86th percentile of the last 281 days, against a median of 49.6% - stronger buying than most days.
Was that an ordinary day?
The same Binance spot measurements for NEAR, averaged over the days leading up to the story.
Compared to the preceding week, today’s volume is 1.79 times the average, indicating an unusually active trading day. The buy ratio for the last 24 hours is 49.9%, which is 0.5 points higher than the 7-day average of 49.5%. However, the 8-day volume delta total was -$2,891,030, showing that net selling pressure has persisted over the longer term despite the volume spike. Only 3 of the past 7 days saw net buying, and the price has only changed by +1.5% over the last 8 days. This contrasts with the current day's elevated volume, which is significantly higher than the weekly average.
