$NEAR has closed lower for the third straight day, eroding its earlier strength to 4.853. The drop itself isn't large: 24h -4.03%, range 4.767–5.19, with the current price at the 20% mark and 6.5% below the high. The real signal is in the volume: turnover is only 0.77x the 7-day average, while the average trade size has risen to 225.6 USDT, 1.14x the peer-group median. The big players haven't left; retail investors pulled out first. My read: as long as 4.767 holds, this is low-volume consolidation. If it breaks, a fourth straight day of declines may only just be beginning. Which side are you betting on?
