What happens to NEAR Protocol after a capitulation day?
Since 2020, NEAR Protocol has shown a capitulation day 10 times. In the 10 cases old enough to score, the price was higher 7 days later 50% of the time, with a median move of −0.1%. On an ordinary day the median 7-day move for NEAR is −0.6%.

Once you allow for how many studies were run, a gap this large is luck about 99% of the time, so this signal has told you nothing reliable about the following week.
By holding period
| After | Cases | Higher | Median move | Middle half | Ordinary median | Gap | By luck | Proof score |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 day | 10 | 60% | +0.6% | −3.2% to +4.6% | −0.1% | +0.7% | 83% | 18 |
| 3 days | 10 | 40% | −0.9% | −5.5% to +5.3% | −0.2% | −0.7% | 93% | 17 |
| 7 days | 10 | 50% | −0.1% | −5.9% to +2.6% | −0.6% | +0.5% | 99% | 16 |
| 14 days | 10 | 50% | +0.5% | −6.3% to +10.2% | −1.0% | +1.5% | 97% | 17 |
| 30 days | 10 | 50% | +0.6% | −21.8% to +19.8% | −3.5% | +4.1% | 96% | 18 |
“Ordinary median” is the median move of NEAR over the same number of days starting from any day. “Gap” is the signal's median minus the ordinary one. “By luck” is how often a gap at least that large comes from randomly chosen days, corrected for the 3,572 studies run at each holding period (for this study taken alone: 92%).
Holding it for 7 days
Dips and best points use each day's low and high, measured from the close on the signal day. Costs assume 0.3% for a round trip: a 0.1% exchange fee each way and 0.05% slippage each way.
Every occurrence
One square per occurrence, oldest first. Green: higher 7 days later. Red: lower. Grey: not yet 7 days old.

The rule
Daily close at least 7% below the previous close on volume at least 2.5× the previous 30-day average. A steep fall on very heavy volume is the textbook picture of capitulation, when the last holders give up.
Occurrences closer than 7 days to the previous one are not counted again. The signal is confirmed at the daily close (00:00 UTC) and returns are measured from that close. Full method.
