NEAR Price Hits Key Resistance Level Amid Bullish Momentum

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is nearing a critical technical juncture as bullish momentum gains traction, despite traders remaining vigilant for potential reversal. The price currently stands at $1.60 with a 24-hour trading volume of $147.51 million and a market capitalization of $2.09 billion.

According to crypto analyst Umair Orakzai, the NEAR price is attempting to test its 200-day Simple Moving Average (SMA), a key indicator in trend-based technical analysis strategies.

The support levels for NEAR are around $1.244 and $1.444, while resistance lies at $1.78 and $1.92. A downward breakout below the 200-day SMA could lead to increased selling pressure, particularly if traders exit the bullish formation.
