NEAR Protocol [$NEAR] Weekly TF EWP Crypto Analysis FIB TCNEAR PROTOCOL: One More Flush Before the Next Multi-Year Bull Market? Since peaking during the 2021 bull market, NEAR has, in my view, been developing a large corrective sideways combo rather than a completed bear market. Instead of a simple ABC correction, price has spent years building a complex structure that has consumed both time and price—a hallmark of many mature Elliott Wave corrections. My preferred count suggests that this macro correction is now entering its final chapter. The recent recovery appears to be Wave (4) of the last impulsive decline. While this rally has improved sentiment, I believe it is more likely to be a counter-trend move than the beginning of a new secular bull market. If this interpretation is correct, one final Wave (5) should complete the entire corrective structure. The area between $0.42 and $0.52 stands out as the most attractive accumulation zone. It aligns with the lower boundary of the long-term descending channel, historical support, and Fibonacci confluence. A final capitulation into this region would fit the Elliott Wave principle of ending corrections with maximum pessimism, potentially providing the foundation for the next multi-year advance. Should Wave (5) complete as anticipated, the entire X wave of the sideways combo would be considered finished. At that point, the focus shifts from surviving the correction to identifying the birth of a new impulsive structure. A confirmed breakout above the multi-year descending trendline would provide the first technical evidence that the macro trend has turned. From there, the previous all-time high around $22 becomes a realistic long-term objective—not as an immediate target, but as a potential destination over the course of the next primary bull market. As always, Elliott Wave analysis is a framework of probabilities, not certainties. This is my primary count, and I will adjust it if price action invalidates the structure. Until then, I remain patient and continue to view any final weakness as part of the broader accumulation process rather than a reason to abandon the long-term thesis. “The market often looks its weakest just before it begins writing its strongest chapter.” Like and follow for more Elliott Wave and macro crypto analysis.

Near breakout eyeing 2.40-2.90 in next day?Near is building up for a breakout to 2.40 as a first target zone than if bulls can hold support we’re eyeing 2.90 as the next target judging by liquidity zones for bullish profit taking. The macd is showing divergence on the hourly chart and it shows that bulls are in control for the time being. If bitcoin rallies higher than the 60k zone it will have a positive symbiotic impact on the consolidation of near or if Btc just holds its current zone near can build the buying power itself. But if Btc rallies down and bears stay dominant it could make near break to the downside.

NEARing a big move?My perspective around the alt coins right now is simple. We are seeing big moves. And we are also seeing technical levels play out nicely. Here we have a infamous setup...potentially. This is either going to be a Reclaim Ripper(taken from the great Desi Trades Coffee Fund) or a short setup. I am leaning towards the ripper to the upside because of the volume at these lows. It looks like we already got the liquidity sweep below a breakout level. Running stops of those who shorted the level failure, and now attempting to turn back around. If we get above this level, Risk is an easy 3x. Stops below the low volume area we just used as support, and targeting a new high. Even intermediate targets before the high will give you decent RR ratio if you are one to sell partials.

NEAR the Key levelCRYPTOCAP:NEAR is trying to keep the bounce alive. Price bounced from a prior LOI, gave us an internal retrace, and continued higher into the next resistance zone. That zone was 2.21 to 2.30. NEAR has now broken above it and is holding above it for the moment. The key level from here is 2.30. As long as bulls maintain above 2.30, the structure still has a decent uptrend look. Lose that level, and this starts looking more like a corrective bounce. The caution here is that NEAR is also hitting bearish confluence. We have bearish-side algo entries, a channel structure that can fit a zigzag target, and the wave count still looks more like a potential zigzag than a clean impulse or strong 1-2, 1-2 setup. The next upside level I’m watching is 2.70. That area could be where the current zigzag completes. If bulls can break above 2.70 and hold structure, then the read can start shifting more bullish and possibly turn into a cleaner impulsive count. Key levels: • 2.21 to 2.30 = prior resistance / current support attempt • 2.30 = minimum level bulls need to hold • 2.70 = next upside LOI and possible zigzag completion zone Bottom line: NEAR looks decent above 2.30, but it still has to prove this is more than a corrective move. Trade safe, trade clarity.

NEAR Near The End?CRYPTOCAP:NEAR is at an important decision spot now. Near completed a 5 wave swing structure with the wave 5 push carrying price into our LOI. That area has acted as strong resistance so far, and now bulls need to prove they can do more than just tag the zone. 3.039 = yuge level bulls need to beat 2.309 = ideal level bulls need to hold As long as price can hold above 2.309, the bull count still has a cleaner structure. Losing that area would start damaging the ideal setup and make this look less like healthy Impulse. Trade safe. Trade clarity.

NEARUSD Showing Early Signs of Reversal from Key SupportNEARUSD retested the 2023 lows, but notice that a decline is overlapped, which indicates a wedge pattern within wave C of a higher degree ABC correction from the highs. It's actually already trying to wake up from the projected 0.80 support area, but to confirm support in place, we have to see an impulsive recovery back above the upper wedge line near the 1.90 level. First bullish evidence is above 3.35 level. Invalidation level is at 0.51.

Near Wave Analysis – 25 May 2026 - Near broke resistance zone - Likely to rise to resistance level 3.135 Near cryptocurrency has been rising strongly after the earlier breakout of the resistance zone between the round resistance level 2.000 and the resistance trendline of the daily up channel from February. The breakout of this resistance zone accelerated the active minor impulse wave 3 of the intermediate impulse wave (C) from March. Given the strength of the active impulse wave (C) and predominantly bullish sentiment seen across the crypto markets today, Near currency pair can be expected to rise to the next resistance level 3.135 (which reversed Near in November).

NEAR Protocol: Time to Buy the Dip?NEAR is back on everyone’s radar, and for three good reasons. NEAR Intents demand Privacy upside via Zcash flows Founder-led AI narrative The cleanest valuation point is no longer just that NEAR is cheaper than other cross chain bridges like LayerZero. With NEAR Intents fees in the picture, NEAR trades at roughly 56x annualised fees, making it cheaper than Ethereum, Solana, Aptos, Sui, Avalanche, and Injective on the same fee multiple framework. The market is still pricing NEAR like a mid-tier L1, while the protocol is starting to look like a cross-chain execution layer with privacy and AI upside. TL;DR NEAR is showing a renewed setup driven by a live fee engine via NEAR Intents and two massive narrative call options in the form of privacy and AI. Arthur Hayes has named NEAR his next favourite altcoin, highlighting its powerful combination of privacy and positive cash-flow potential. NEAR Intents is generating roughly 18x LayerZero’s 30-day fees, yet NEAR trades at a fraction of ZRO’s fee multiple. The tokenomics are improving. Inflation was recently cut to 2.5 per cent, and transaction fees actively burn supply, shifting NEAR towards a cash-flowing execution asset. When combining base-chain gas and Intents fees, NEAR trades at a 56x annualised fee multiple, making it cheaper than Ethereum, Solana, and most major L1 peers. This presents a compelling valuation. What is NEAR? NEAR is no longer an old L1. It is evolving into a cross-chain execution layer equipped with two narratives – privacy and AI. Privacy has already proven to be a powerful crypto use case through Zcash (ZEC). While NEAR does not directly compete with privacy coins, it benefits as the execution layer around privacy demand for such tokens. Zodl (previously Zashi), a Zcash network wallet, is a prime example. Zodl can be used to directly purchase Zcash without KYC and utilises Zcash seamlessly in payments. In payment scenarios, Near Intents can also help with converting Zcash to other crypto like USDC, making it much easier to purchase and spend while also protecting privacy. Users state the outcome they want and solvers compete to execute it AI is the second call option. NEAR has a better claim here than most crypto AI tokens. Illia Polosukhin, NEAR’s co-founder, co-authored Attention Is All You Need, the Transformer paper behind modern LLMs. NEAR also began as an AI company before pivoting into the blockchain space. The real question is whether AI can create fees. NEAR AI is building towards that through AI Cloud, IronClaw, Agent Market, and Intents. AI agents will not manually bridge assets, manage gas, or compare routes across chains. They will express outcomes. NEAR Intents is built for that world. Why Altcoin OGs Should Care Arthur Hayes has made NEAR tradeable again. In The Butterfly Touch, he frames the next crypto leg as a liquidity-driven move tied to AI capex, war spending, infrastructure spending, and easier credit. He named NEAR as his next favourite altcoin after HYPE and ZEC. . The important part is why. His claim isn’t all about AI. It’s that privacy on top of NEAR Intents can create a positive cash-flow setup for the NEAR protocol. This matters because the best altcoin trades need both narrative and numbers. NEAR now has both. The On-Chain Signal The market is still focused on LayerZero, Stargate, CCIP migrations, and bridge security. The current fee data points somewhere else entirely. NEAR Intents is generating roughly 18 times LayerZero’s 30-day fees, but NEAR trades at about one-third of ZRO’s fee multiple. That is the first disconnect. The caveat is important. Gross Intents fees are not the same as token holder revenue. Captured revenue is much smaller today, sitting around $149,000 over 30 days. The trade depends on whether NEAR can convert usage into more revenue capture, buybacks, burns, staking, locking, or other supply-management tools. Why a Market Rerate is Still on the Cards NEAR does not appear cheap when only looking at base-chain gas. However, that misses the thesis. The current NEAR trade is base-layer activity plus NEAR Intents, which is already generating meaningful cross-chain execution fees. This is the strongest relative valuation point. NEAR is still priced like a mid-tier L1. If Intents are treated as part of the NEAR economic stack, the valuation looks more like a real execution business. What to Watch Out For For non-degens, this is not the cleanest trade like HYPE. The biggest risk is that the market prices the call options before the token captures enough economics. Even though NEAR’s multiples are low enough compared to other L1s, it is still a high multiple in the eyes of traditional investors. The cleanest confirmation would be continued NEAR Intents fee strength plus visible buybacks or revenue routing on the NEAR revenue dashboard, which hasn’t started yet. We would fade it if NEAR rallies only on Hayes, AI, or privacy headlines while Intents fees and NEAR’s actual AI developments stays tiny. Final Take NEAR now has one overlooked fee engine and two call options in privacy and AI. The valuation setup is key. On a combined base-chain plus Intents fee view, NEAR trades around 56x annualised fees. That is cheaper than major L1 peers and much cheaper than LayerZero (ZRO) on a bridge-fee comparison. Arthur’s latest blog brought attention, but the data is what makes the trade sustainable. Long NEAR if we see new AI features, growing fees and updated revenue capture mechanism keep confirming the story.

Long idea (considering OI)Reclaim setup: Price is bouncing from 1.26–1.28 and holding above ~1.30, suggesting a possible liquidity sweep and reclaim. Open Interest rising: OI is increasing while price moves up → new positions entering. If these are late shorts, it creates short squeeze potential. Clear invalidation: Stop below 1.265 keeps risk defined. If it breaks, the setup fails. Trigger level: Break/hold above ~1.34 (SMA 200) could accelerate momentum. Target: Prior resistance around 1.37–1.40. Summary: Rising OI + reclaim of support = potential squeeze move up, with clean risk below 1.265.

$4.00 in the next bull rallyI don't know why people posting a very complex charts, for me trading is very simple, with Fibonnaci tool and support/resistance lines, that's where you enter a trade or quite a trade. this chart is my simplisty to how I trade and how I deliever a simple chart for people who need something to be fast to understand and good for the eye. basically, we are at the dip that we were at on October 2023, and that's were the bull run started and went all the way high to almost $4.5 then a logic correction, then continued the rally up to $9.00 so you just expect the same thing will happen again, but this is the most perfect time to buy and put your money in. I hope you like the simplisty of the chart :) Good luck traders, investors

NEAR Protocol hovering at support — looking for a short-term boCurrent Price: 1.07454 (Analysis was generated on Monday Morning) Direction: LONG Confidence level: 42%(Limited direct trader commentary, but price is sitting near a well-defined support zone with slowing downside momentum and no strong selling pressure.) Targets Target 1: 1.12 Target 2: 1.16 Stop Levels Stop 1: 1.02 Stop 2: 0.98 Key Insights: Here’s what’s driving this setup. NEAR has sold off hard into the $1.00–$1.05 area, a zone that has acted as demand multiple times across recent market cycles. What I’m watching closely is that the selling momentum has slowed while price remains compressed near the lows. That combination usually tells me sellers are getting tired, even if buyers aren’t aggressive yet. What’s interesting is the volume profile. Trading activity dropped sharply over the last 24 hours, which suggests this move down isn’t being aggressively chased. In situations like this, several traders prefer to lean toward a tactical long rather than pressing shorts into support. It’s not about conviction — it’s about risk-reward being skewed slightly upward from here. Recent Performance: NEAR is down roughly 5% over the last 24 hours, sliding from the $1.12 area toward $1.05 before stabilizing. Most major exchanges are now pricing it in a tight $1.03–$1.08 range. The sharp move lower already happened; since then, price action has gone quiet, which often precedes a short-term bounce rather than an immediate continuation lower. Expert Analysis: Several traders I track are effectively sidelined on NEAR, but that’s actually informative. When markets fall hard and expert commentary doesn’t turn aggressively bearish, it often means downside expectations are already priced in. From a technical perspective, price is stretched short-term and sitting close to a psychological $1.00 level, which tends to attract dip buyers even in weak environments. I’m not seeing breakout talk — this is strictly a tactical play. The idea here is a controlled bounce toward nearby resistance, not a trend reversal. That’s why targets stay tight and stops are clearly defined. News Impact: There’s no fresh negative headline pressure hitting NEAR right now. The news flow is quiet, and in crypto, no news after a selloff is sometimes good news. Without new catalysts pushing price lower, the path of least resistance for the next few sessions can tilt slightly upward as selling pressure fades. Trading Recommendation: Putting it all together, I’m going with a cautious LONG on NEAR for this week only. The setup is based on price being parked near support, fading downside momentum, and a lack of aggressive selling interest. This is not a high-conviction trade, so position size should stay small and stops should be respected. I’m looking for a move toward $1.12 first, then potentially $1.16 if momentum builds. If $1.02 fails, I’m out — no hesitation.

NEAR Protocol Tests Long-Term Support as Triangle Pattern Nears NEAR Protocol is approaching a critical juncture, with its multiyear structure tightening toward a decision point that could determine the token’s long-term trajectory. The current pattern resembles a maturing contracting triangle, a formation that typically concludes with a sharp directional break. The price has continued to drift toward the lower boundary of the structure, which has been respected since early 2021. This trendline now sits near the 0.786 retracement level at $1.449, a key support region that has emerged as the focal point for Wave D. If buyers defend this area, the broader triangle count remains intact and would set the stage for a final Wave E rebound into the $3.62 to $6.14 retracement cluster. Within that region, the 0.618 level at $4.5049 stands out as the midpoint target for a corrective lift before the pattern compresses fully. The larger bullish alternative suggests that NEAR may already be completing an extended Wave 2. A sustained hold above the lower support line would allow for the possibility of a substantial Wave 3 advance. The projected target for this alternative scenario lies far above current levels, near $74.03, which corresponds to a major Fibonacci extension and would imply a powerful long-term trend reversal. However, the stakes are high. A breakdown beneath the triangle’s lower boundary would invalidate the structure entirely and signal that the market is shifting into a deeper corrective phase. The chart marks an invalidation level beneath the broader support zone, and a decisive breach could accelerate losses toward sub-dollar territory, potentially revisiting levels not seen since the earliest stages of the token’s history. For now, NEAR trades at the midpoint between risk and opportunity. The structure is tightening, momentum indicators show oversold conditions, and the price is resting on a multi-year support line. Whether this zone marks the foundation for a major turnaround or the start of a prolonged decline will depend on how price behaves around the crucial $1.449 region as the triangle nears its conclusion.
