NEAR Protocol has been caught in the crosscurrents of global economic uncertainty, with its price action reflecting broader market turbulence as investors navigate complex geopolitical developments.
The cryptocurrency experienced significant volatility over the past 24 hours, establishing a trading range between $2.38 and $2.49.

The token’s performance mirrors the tension in traditional markets, where escalating US-China trade disputes threaten global supply chains and create particular uncertainty for technology-focused assets like NEAR.
Meanwhile, the European Central Bank’s signals toward potential rate cuts amid slowing inflation provide a mixed outlook for digital assets as monetary policy shifts across major economies.
Adding to the market complexity, intensifying Middle East conflicts have triggered new sanctions affecting oil prices, further contributing to the market volatility reflected in NEAR’s price fluctuations.
- High-volume support zone formed around $2.38-$2.40, with consistent buyer intervention during the 09:00-11:00 timeframe on above-average volume exceeding 2.5 million units.
- Descending resistance trendline established after reaching $2.481 at 01:00, indicating persistent bearish momentum despite recovery attempts.
- Bullish surge from $2.399 to $2.439 (1.67% gain) in the final hour, with a notable resistance breakthrough at $2.420 followed by consolidation near $2.435.
- Sharp pullback to $2.399 at 14:00 before recovering to $2.414, suggesting strong buying interest at the $2.400 support level.
- Price stabilization within a narrower range indicates potential continuation of upward movement if volume support remains strong.
