How the market reacted
Whalio's own Binance spot order flow for NEAR, measured when this story was written up on 22 September 2026. Not the outlet's figures.
Whalio data shows NEAR trading at $4.27 with a 1-hour buy ratio of 55.3%, indicating immediate buying pressure. However, the 4-hour buy ratio sits lower at 48.2%, suggesting that this short-term intensity is fading compared to the broader 24-hour average of 51.9%. The 1-hour volume delta is positive at +$1,479,092, while the 4-hour delta is negative at -$1,595,890, showing that recent trades are favoring buyers but the last four hours have seen net outflows. The 24-hour volume delta remains strongly positive at +$10,631,675, with a cumulative volume delta (CVD) of +$6,149,818. This indicates that while immediate momentum is strong, the four-hour trend is currently net selling despite the daily average favoring buyers.
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.
