Bitcoin barely moved in the last 24 hours, so why is $NEAR sliding on its own? ๐Ÿค”

It isn't the tide. Bitcoin is off 0.18%, Ether is up 0.88% and XRP is flat, while NEAR fell 6.63% to 4.087 on 76M of volume, the worst drop among the top-volume coins. It's also the weakest AI name today, with TAO down 2.50% and WLD down 3.51%. And it landed right after news that NEAR is rejoining the Bitwise 10 index fund, so even a friendly headline couldn't hold a bid. ๐Ÿ“‰

The week says this isn't a one-day wobble either: down 12.17% over 7 days against Bitcoin's 3.16%. Price is sitting just above the 4.036 low of its 4.036-4.378 range, so sellers closed near their lows instead of getting faded. Funding at +0.010% matches Bitcoin, which means shorts aren't crowded and there's no squeeze fuel underneath. 4.036 is the line I'm watching on $NEAR : lose it and the weekly downtrend stays in charge, while a push back into the top half of the range would be the first sign the selling is spent. ๐Ÿ‘€
