NEAR targets $8.5 in next rally, but can it beat THIS level first?
NEAR eyes $8.5 with a 33% gain potential, but faces key resistance at $6.406.
- NEAR can gain 33% following its recent rally.
- However, this upward momentum depends on NEAR breaking through its current resistance level.
Over the past week, Near Protocol [NEAR] has emerged as one of the top market performers, boasting a 41.23% increase. In just the last 24 hours, it has gained 12.78%, solidifying its position for a sustained market uptrend.
While NEAR’s rally is contingent on a key factor, AMBCrypto has highlighted multiple indicators that support its continued upward trajectory.
NEAR could gain 33%, but…
NEAR recently broke out of a descending trendline, driving its weekly gains, and extended this momentum after surpassing the resistance level at $5.548.
At press time, NEAR faced a crucial resistance at $6.406, which could stall its rally. This level likely holds significant selling pressure that may restrict price movement.
However, if bullish momentum continues, NEAR could break through this barrier and potentially surge by 33%, reaching $8.520.
If NEAR fails to breach $6.406, it may enter a consolidation phase, trading within the range of $6.406 to $5.548.
Despite this challenge, AMBCrypto identifies NEAR as predominantly bullish, supported by favorable market conditions.
