NEAR Protocol (NEAR) Whalio analysis Editor: Eugene Serbin

On 17 September 2026, NEAR Protocol closed at $3.147 on Binance spot, representing a 20.07% increase for the day. The largest single-day gain recorded by Whalio over the past 294 days was 39.1% on 7 November 2025.

Turnover reached $215.1M, marking the fourth-largest daily figure on record; the heaviest day measured was $264.7M on 7 November 2025. This figure is 9.3 times the median day of $23.2M.

Binance registered 914,279 trades over the day, compared to a median of 135,955. The average trade was $235, against $170 on a median day.

The buy ratio, defined as the share of turnover that hit the ask rather than the bid, came in at 50.79%, placing it at the 71st percentile of this coin's own history. Net taker buying totalled $3.5M, or 1.6% of the day's turnover.

The pressure behind the move was close to even: net flow came to only 1.6% of turnover, so buyers and sellers crossed the spread in similar size even as the price moved.

These figures cover Binance spot only. Order flow records which side of the book crossed the spread, not who sent the order or why, and a coin can trade very differently on another venue or in futures.
