How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 4 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
NEAR is trading at $1.96 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 47.6% and a 4-hour buy ratio of 49.7%, both slightly below the 24-hour buy ratio of 47.3%. The 1-hour volume delta is -$108,956 and the 4-hour volume delta is -$64,595, indicating net selling pressure in the short term compared to the 24-hour delta of -$1,716,835. A buy ratio below 50% means sellers are dominating the current flow, while a negative volume delta shows that sell volume exceeds buy volume. The 24-hour CVD closed at +$482,776, suggesting that despite recent selling, cumulative buying pressure remains positive over the full day. Spot volume for the 24-hour period was $32,723,882 across 203,801 trades.
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.
Over the preceding week, the average buy ratio was 50.0%, making today's 24-hour ratio of 47.3% a decrease of 2.7 points from the average. Volume was 1.20x the average, indicating higher activity than usual for this period. The coin saw a price change of +1.4% over eight days, with a total volume delta of -$1,747,044. Net buying occurred on only 3 of the 7 days, contrasting with 11 days of net buying in the current 24-hour window. This suggests that while volume is elevated, the directional bias has been more mixed over the week compared to the recent day.
