NEAR Protocol Surges Amid Broader Crypto Market Gains

The cryptocurrency market has seen a shift in sentiment over the past week, with the S&P Cryptocurrency Broad Digital Market (BDM) Index declining by 2.44% to close at 3,430.24 for the week ending August 14, 2026.

However, as the new trading week began on August 17, the market regained positive momentum, thanks in part to strength in leading digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum.

According to technical analysis by Kalkine, one cryptocurrency that appears 'Attractive' at the current level is NEAR Protocol (NEAR).
