cryptocurrency.com.tr reports that NEAR Protocol has risen nearly 30% in just seven days, signaling strong bullish sentiment for altcoin traders. The asset is currently trading in the $2.37 price range, marking an increase of over 28% over the past week and almost 50% over the last 30 days. Experts are sharing bullish price predictions, noting that NEAR must pump over 88% to reclaim its previous all-time high set around five years ago in the $20 price range.
How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 7 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows NEAR trading at $2.44, with a 24-hour buy ratio of 52.9% indicating that buyers controlled the majority of volume over the full day. However, this momentum appears to be fading in the short term, as the 1-hour buy ratio dropped to 51.0% and the 4-hour ratio fell further to 45.4%, suggesting recent selling pressure. The 24-hour volume delta stands at +$5,127,981, meaning cumulative buying exceeded selling over the day, but the 4-hour delta of -$1,322,225 shows that net buying has turned negative in the last four hours. This shift indicates that while the broader trend remains positive, immediate buying pressure is weakening compared to earlier in the session.
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.
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, NEAR experienced a 34.0% price increase with a total volume delta of +$6,441,712, establishing a strong upward trend. Today’s 24-hour volume of $88,724,790 is 2.20 times the weekly average, marking this as an unusually active day for the coin. While the daily buy ratio of 52.9% is slightly above the 7-day average of 49.9%, the weekly data shows that net buying occurred on only 3 of the 7 days. This context suggests that despite today’s high volume and price surge, the buying activity has been intermittent rather than consistent throughout the week.
