⚪️ Why
$NEAR Protocol’s 11% rally has traders watching $2.20 closely
Near Protocol [NEAR] extended its recovery over the past 24 hours, climbing 11.67% to $2.08 at press time, as traders returned to the market following a period of heavy selling.
Notably, trading activity strengthened alongside the rally, with daily volume rising 25.41% to $625 million. This combination suggested that buyers did not rely on thin liquidity to drive prices higher.
Instead, fresh capital appeared to support the advance. The rebound also developed after NEAR briefly traded near the $1.85 region, where buyers previously stepped in aggressively. As a result, the market regained confidence around the $2.00 psychological level.
However, traders still faced overhead resistance, which continued limiting attempts to extend the recovery toward higher price zones.
🔸 Why are Binance traders staying bullish?
Market sentiment remained constructive despite the recent volatility.
At the time of writing, Binance’s Top Trader Long/Short Ratio showed that 62.51% of positions stayed long, while only 37.49% remained short. The positioning produced a Long/Short Ratio of 1.67, highlighting continued confidence among larger participants.
The data suggested that experienced traders had not abandoned bullish exposure during the recent correction. Instead, they appeared to anticipate additional upside after NEAR reclaimed the $2.00 area. Although long-heavy positioning occasionally creates liquidation risks, the current structure reflected persistent optimism rather than excessive euphoria.
🔸 NEAR challenges resistance as RSI rebounds
The technical structure improved significantly after NEAR defended the $1.857 support level and recovered toward the $2.207 resistance zone. The daily chart showed that buyers regained control after a sharp sell-off erased gains from the recent double-top formation near $2.80.
