NEAR Protocol (NEAR) experienced a sharp price decline of about 10.46% to $2.39 on September 12, 2026, significantly underperforming Bitcoin and Ethereum, which fell by 1.70% and 2.57% respectively.

Investors should watch for changes in short positions, order-book dynamics, and whether NEAR's performance gap with major cryptocurrencies narrows to gauge potential recovery.
