Binance spot grid · NEAR/USDT · 2026-07-14 to 2026-10-12
We launched a NEAR/USDT spot grid every day for the last 90 days, each running 7 days, with ranges centred on the price at launch. Each run is compared with simply holding the NEAR the grid bought at the start.
In this period the ±20% range with 20 levels beat holding NEAR most often: in 60% of weekly launches. That's history, not a recommendation. Holding NEAR itself returned a median +2.84% per week in this period.
