How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 30 August 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
NEAR Protocol is trading at $1.87 on Binance spot markets. The 1-hour buy ratio stands at 41.3%, while the 4-hour ratio is 49.2%, compared to a 50.0% ratio over the last 24 hours. This indicates that buying pressure is fading in the short term relative to the daily average. The volume delta is negative across all timeframes, with -$228,885 in the last hour and -$79,670 over four hours. A negative volume delta means that sell volume has exceeded buy volume during these periods. Consequently, net selling pressure has increased significantly in the immediate short term.
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.
Twenty-four hours later
What NEAR did over the 23 hours after the story broke. The market moves for its own reasons; this is what happened, not what the story caused.
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 7-day average buy ratio was 49.2%. The latest day shows a buy ratio of 50.0%, which is 0.7 points higher than the weekly average. However, spot volume was only 0.34 times the average, indicating significantly lower activity. The price changed by -0.5% over the eight-day period, with a total volume delta of -$4,604,223. This suggests that while buying sentiment is slightly above average, trading activity is unusually low compared to typical days.
