NEAR token surges 24.5% on strong whale buying and AI-driven growth, eyeing $4 target.

NEAR crypto token jumped 24.52%, driven by increased trading activity, whale orders, and expanded AI utilities including staking credits for 43 AI models. Its confidential TVL surpassed $70 million, triggering milestone token incentives locked until price conditions are met. Spot volume surged over 130%, while derivatives open interest and volume also rose sharply, indicating strong market demand but higher liquidation risk. Technical indicators suggest NEAR could push toward the $4 price range if bullish momentum holds above $2.82.

NEAR is trading at Rp67,937 on Pluang as of Sep 19, 2026 09:22 WIB, showing a strong 1-day gain of 20.43%. The token’s market cap stands at Rp87.66 trillion with a 24-hour trading volume of Rp38.69 trillion, reflecting high investor interest. Despite the recent rally linked to AI utility expansion, Pluang data shows a majority of order activity at 71% Sell, indicating some profit-taking or cautious sentiment among traders.
