In my view, $NEAR is still trading at a relatively high level. For stronger bullish momentum to develop, the price may need to retrace toward the $1.80–$1.90 range first. Because of this, the current price does not appear to be an ideal buying opportunity.

For long-term investors, a Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) strategy may be a better approach. Gradually accumulating during market dips can help reduce the average entry price and manage risk more effectively.
