Near Protocol Jumps 6.24% in Four Hours to $5.14
Near Protocol (NEAR) experienced a significant price surge early on October 5, 2026, climbing 6.24% in just four hours to reach $5.14 at 4:17 a.m. ET. This sharp increase followed a 6.83% gain over the previous 24 hours, with the token starting the period at $4.84.
The rapid price movement triggered substantial short liquidations across three major exchanges. Binance, Bybit, and OKX saw a total of $110,000 in short positions liquidated during the same hour, while long liquidations remained at $0. Liquidations occur when traders can no longer meet margin requirements, forcing exchanges to close leveraged positions.
