NEAR is up 24.5% to $4.33, moving with NIL and SAGA as AI trades as a group.

Open interest rose 37% in the last 24 hours, which points to new positions opening rather than short covering. It's one of five AI-sector names moving together today, and CoinDesk ties the pop to Zcash swap traffic.

This puts NEAR right under its 30-day high of $4.46. If it clears that level while open interest keeps rising, that's a fresh high with real positioning behind it, not just a bounce. If it turns down instead, the 200-week average near $2.93 is the level below where the current trend structure would be in question.

What would make this wrong: If open interest starts falling while price stalls below $4.46, this looks more like a squeeze than a real breakout.
