NEAR spot order book active buy ratio is down to just 37%. Sell orders are pressing on the buys and steadily chipping away—over the past four hours there are three consecutive bearish candles with no pause. The rebound’s highs are getting lower one after another; the upper wick at 2.449 is the ceiling. Don’t wait for it to perform—short at 2.35 directly. First target 2.25. Hold it to 2.18. Stop loss at 2.45—exit immediately if it hits. If it breaks, it’s a structural reversal; if not, just wait and ride this downslope. Trend and capital are moving in the same direction. Rebounds for longs are fuel for shorts.
