Key numbers
over 932 daily candles
How each of these is computed: regression spread, hedge ratio, spread z-score, half-life, correlation.
What the numbers say
The legs move together only moderately — correlation of daily log returns is 0.62, with a hedge ratio of 1.11. Signals from this pair carry more noise than on a tightly linked one.
The spread is at 1.74 standard deviations from its rolling mean: away from the norm, but not far enough to call it stretched.
Reversion is slow: the spread needs roughly 116 days to cover half the way back to its mean. A position would have to be held for a long time.
The current ratio sits mid-range — 73% of the way from the low to the high of the last 932 daily candles.
When this happened before
Divergences over 753 candles: 7. Closed by a return to the norm: 6. The median return took 34 days, the longest one 100 days.
The last closed one ran from 23.05.2026 to 24.08.2026, 93 days: peak z = 3.38, NEAR was expensive against TAO.
One is running right now: it started on 19.09.2026, has lasted 40 days, peak z = 2.37, NEAR was expensive against TAO. It has not returned to the norm yet.
For a holder this answers not “what to do” but “how long it usually took”: the median return is 34 days. That is no guarantee — past divergences closed, this one may not.
| Period | Expensive leg | Peak z | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 23.05.2026 — 24.08.2026 | NEAR | 3.38 | 93 d |
| 23.03.2026 — 13.04.2026 | TAO | -3.27 | 21 d |
| 14.10.2025 — 07.11.2025 | TAO | -3.28 | 24 d |
| 03.10.2025 — 14.10.2025 | NEAR | -2.40 | 11 d |
| 20.04.2025 — 29.07.2025 | TAO | -2.91 | 100 d |
A divergence here is the spread z-score leaving ±2σ; the return is the first value back inside ±0.5σ. Two thresholds rather than one: otherwise chatter right at the border would count as a dozen separate divergences. The first bars of the window are skipped — there z is computed on partial history.
Frequently asked
How many TAO is 1 NEAR?
1 NEAR is worth 0.0177369 TAO at the latest exchange quotes. The figure is the ratio of the two USDT prices and updates every minute.
What is the NEAR/TAO range?
Over the last 932 daily candles the ratio traded between 0.00347274 (25.03.2026) and 0.0229564 (03.07.2024).
Are NEAR and TAO correlated?
The correlation of daily log returns between NEAR and TAO is 0.62, which counts as a moderate link. Log returns are used rather than prices: two rising assets correlate almost by default, joint day-to-day movement is what matters.
What is the NEAR/TAO spread z-score now?
The z-score is 1.74 — the spread is within its usual range. It measures how far the regression residual log(A) − β·log(B) sits from its rolling mean, in standard deviations.
Is NEAR/TAO suitable for a pair trade?
The mechanics hold up: correlation is 0.62 and the spread historically covers half the way back to its mean in about 116 days. That is a description of past behaviour, not a forecast or a recommendation.
How often do NEAR and TAO diverge?
Over 753 daily candles the spread left ±2σ 7 times. The median return to the norm took 34 days.
