How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 21 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows NEAR trading at $4.17 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.6%, indicating immediate buying pressure that exceeds the 50.7% ratio seen over the past 4 hours. This short-term aggression suggests accumulation is currently stronger than the broader 24-hour buy ratio of 50.5%. Volume delta metrics reinforce this sentiment, with +$1,366,971 in the last hour compared to +$723,313 over four hours. The volume delta represents the net difference between buy and sell volume, showing that buyers have been more active than sellers. A positive volume delta indicates that more capital is flowing into the asset than leaving it.
The latest daily buy ratio of 50.8% sits at the 68th percentile of the last 323 days, against a median of 49.7% - ordinary for this coin.
