NEAR–ATOM Volume-Asymmetric Relative Repricing Continuation

Hypothesis

Test whether unusually broad participation in a NEAR-versus-ATOM relative-price displacement predicts further repricing over the following three days. Trade NEARUSD.HYPERLIQUID against ATOMUSDT.OKX using synchronized 4-HOUR OHLCV bars, with equal entry-dollar notionals and either direction permitted. This is an event-driven relative continuation experiment, not cointegration reversion or periodic momentum rotation. Execute market orders at the synchronized signal bars' closes; no next-bar-open execution is required. Protective stops trigger intrabar in the platform's simulated venue. No exchange-hosted protection, independent opposing positions on one instrument, or selectable same-bar ordering is required.
