I'm watching $NEAR lead the large-cap slide — down 8.7% to $4.50 while Bitcoin is down just 1.4% to $80,583.

Two camps are forming around the $4.43 floor. Camp one says the floor holds: today's low is the 12-day low, and the Q3 update put Intents volume above $32 billion, up 45% from Q2. Camp two says the tape has already decided: NEAR has slid from $5.71 on October 12 on $117 million of spot selling.

Both camps can't be right about Monday.

Where I land: a floor needs a buyer.

Support $4.43 · Resistance $4.99. A 4-hour close under $4.43 breaks the 12-day base; a reclaim of $4.99 is the first sign the sellers are tired.

What keeps me from joining camp one: a usage story this strong has still sold off all week.

Does $4.43 hold into the weekend, or does a close under it break the base?

NFA. DYOR.
