The sell-off, concentrated between 13:38 and 13:49, erased most hourly gains as the token fell to $2.634 on heavy volume exceeding 200,000 tokens per minute. Profit-taking at the $2.675\u2013$2.680 resistance level\u2014identified in prior sessions\u2014capped the rally, while the $2.630\u2013$2.635 zone once again provided firm support. NEAR closed the hour at $2.644 after a low-volume rebound attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Over the prior 24 hours, NEAR rebounded strongly from $2.57 support to touch $2.73, a 6% range that showcased aggressive buying interest. The move followed an initial dip from $2.68 to $2.58 before buyers regained control, sending prices back to $2.68 with exceptional turnover of 8.01 million tokens. Resistance around $2.68\u2013$2.73 remains intact, with $2.57\u2013$2.59 proving a reliable floor during repeated tests.<\/p>\n<p>Institutional demand underpinned the rally, with $572 million in global inflows into digital asset investment products last week, including $10.1 million directed toward NEAR. The momentum came as U.S. policy shifts allowed digital assets in 401(k) retirement plans, sparking $1.57 billion in late-week inflows and boosting confidence across blockchain markets. Analysts view this as a pivotal moment for mainstream adoption, potentially broadening NEAR\u2019s investor base.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, NEAR\u2019s chart shows a resilient recovery pattern supported by high-volume surges at key levels. Strong buying near $2.57\u2013$2.59 repeatedly sparked sharp reversals, while the upper $2.68\u2013$2.73 band continues to draw heavy selling pressure. With institutional flows accelerating and regulatory developments favoring crypto adoption, NEAR\u2019s price action may remain volatile but underpinned by strengthening long-term support.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.sanity.io\/images\/s3y3vcno\/production\/5f2822bdfebbf22dcd680830db74aa0bee93bf6f-2726x1339.png?auto=format\" alt=\"NEAR\/USD (TradingView)\" title=\"NEAR\/USD (TradingView)\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Technical indicators<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>High-volume surge exceeding the 24-hour average of 2.73 million establishes formidable resistance around $2.68-$2.73. <\/li>\n<li>The $2.57-$2.59 zone has proven remarkably robust as support through multiple successful examinations and volume-backed reversals. <\/li>\n<li>The most significant bearish pressure materialized between 13:38 and 13:49, wherein NEAR plummeted from $2.67 to $2.63, effectively erasing virtually all hourly gains within an 11-minute timeframe accompanied by exceptionally elevated selling volume exceeding 200,000 tokens per minute. <\/li>\n<li>This volatile configuration suggests profit-taking activities at the $2.68-$2.68 resistance zone established during the antecedent 24-hour analysis. <\/li>\n<li>The $2.63-$2.64 level continues to furnish critical support, with the session concluding at $2.64 following a modest recovery attempt that lacked sufficient volume conviction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Disclaimer:<\/em><\/strong> <em>Parts of this article were generated with the assistance from AI tools and reviewed by our editorial team to ensure accuracy and adherence to<\/em> <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/ethics\">our standards<\/a>.
