Near Protocol (NEAR/USD) Market Continues Downward As Indicators Signal Weak Bullish Momentum

Near Protocol Price Forecast – February 21

The NEAR market continues downward as indicators signal weak bullish momentum. The short-term retracement to the upside seems to be coming to an end. The 9-day simple moving average (SMA) is currently at $3.360, acting as dynamic resistance against further upward movement. The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is hovering at 46.03, reflecting weak bullish momentum and signaling that the market is still in a bearish phase. The RSI also recently bounced from the oversold region (35.77), suggesting a temporary relief rally, but the overall strength remains weak as it struggles to break the mid-level (50). Additionally, Fibonacci retracement levels indicate that the price is still below the key 0.618 level at $4.030, reinforcing the ongoing bearish bias.

NEAR/USD Market Key Levels:

Resistance levels: $4.530, $6.490, $8.250
Support levels: $3.070, $2.450, $1.500

NEARUSD – Daily Chart

The daily chart for NEARUSD shows that the market keeps declining amidst oversold indications.

Price action shows a clear downtrend structure, with lower highs and lower lows forming since the peak in late 2024. The price recently tested the $3.070 support but failed to break significantly below it.

The rejection from this level led to a minor consolidation phase, with resistance forming around $3.770 (the 0.5 Fibonacci level). The price remains below a major resistance zone at $4.530. If buyers fail to push beyond this zone, sellers are likely to regain control and push the price lower.

What is the outlook of NEARUSD?

The bearish outlook remains intact as long as NEARUSD fails to break above $4.000. A rejection at the current resistance zone could see the price dropping back towards $3.070. A break below this level would expose the next major support at $2.450, where buyers might attempt to slow down the decline.

If bearish momentum persists, an extended move toward $1.500 is possible. However, a breakout above $4.530 could invalidate this bearish projection, opening the possibility of a recovery towards higher levels.

NEAR/BTC Price Analysis

NEARBTC remains bearish as the price trades below the 9-day SMA at 0.00003470, confirming weak momentum. The recent bounce from the BOS level led to a minor rally, but resistance at 0.00004000 has capped further upside.

The RSI at 46.75 signals weak buying pressure, failing to push the price into bullish territory. A rejection at the resistance zone could trigger a continuation downward toward 0.00002500.
