NEAR Protocol Climbs Nearly 7% Amid Growing Altcoin Optimism
NEAR Protocol has seen strong institutional interest, with trading volumes hitting 5.82 million units in the past 24 hours—highlighting continued accumulation above key resistance levels.
The token surged 6.7% over the same period, reflecting renewed enthusiasm in the altcoin market after bitcoin set a fresh record high of $123,000.
NEAR’s price rallied from $2.55 to $2.66, marking a 7% range. Solid support was confirmed at $2.51, which held steady during consolidation before a breakout at 01:00 UTC pushed prices to $2.69 over the following four hours.
Despite the upward move, NEAR remains far below its 2024 high of $9.00—a level reached during last year’s AI-driven market surge sparked by tools like ChatGPT.
Key Technical Takeaways:
- Strong support established at $2.51 during consolidation phases
- Persistent buying pressure above the $2.62–$2.64 range, now acting as support
- Higher lows pattern supports continued upward momentum
- A V-shaped rebound confirmed by a 143,188-unit volume spike
- Breakout above $2.67 signals potential for further gains
- Next resistance levels lie between $2.70 and $2.72
As altcoins begin to catch fire alongside bitcoin’s rise, NEAR appears poised for further moves if bullish momentum holds.
