Why $2.38 and $1.72 are NEAR’s key price levels
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) experienced significant bearish pressure, dropping 9.07% in 24 hours alongside declining Open Interest. Long-term weekly charts confirmed a bearish structure, with the $3.34 swing high remaining a key bullish target. The price failed to sustain above the critical $2.80 (78.6% Fibonacci) level, leading to a slump toward the $2 support zone.
On shorter timeframes, a retracement bounce toward $2.1 was seen as a pullback within the downtrend. The ideal resistance area for sellers was identified as the $2.24-$2.38 Fibonacci golden pocket. However, a bearish shift in broader market sentiment, triggered by Bitcoin's rejection above $64k, caused NEAR to slide from $2.07 to $1.88. Key momentum indicators like MFI, CMF, and OBV remained neutral, showing no clear dominance.
The analysis advises traders to wait for a move toward $2.38 for a better selling opportunity or watch for a break below $1.72, which would signal a bearish continuation and invalidate the current retracement structure. Both long-term and short-term trends remain bearish.
