Intraday range: approx. $2.64 to $2.80

Market Context & Sentiment
The broader crypto / altcoin space has seen some downward / corrective pressure recently: markets are consolidating after prior gains.
Investors are digesting macroeconomic signals—especially interest rate trajectories, inflation data, and central bank commentary.
Tech / risk assets are more sensitive in this environment, so NEAR (being in the more “growth / infrastructure” crypto category) is affected by these sentiment swings.
Drivers & Risks
Drivers
Upgrades / protocol enhancements (e.g. scaling, improvements in validator architecture) tend to inject optimism.
Partnerships, integrations, and use cases (especially in the realms of DeFi, interoperability, AI/agent systems) can push interest.
Overall crypto market momentum: when Bitcoin / Ethereum move up, it often lifts altcoins like NEAR.
Risks
Rate & monetary policy uncertainty: if central banks stay hawkish, liquidity to risk assets could tighten.
Regulatory developments: crypto regulation globally can influence investor confidence.
Competition and technical execution: if NEAR fails to deliver on roadmap promises, or competitors outpace it, it may lose momentum.
