📈 Top recommendations for traders
The tips below are based on current technical analysis and market data.
• Short-term technical analysis: All major moving averages of NEAR (from 50 to 200 days) show sell signals, indicating strong downward pressure in the short term. This means that the chances of a quick rebound may be limited at the moment.
• Major support and resistance levels: Based on the analysis, here are the levels to watch closely:
Support levels
· Direct support: $1.62
· Strong support: $1.56
· Critical support: $1.49
Resistance levels
· Initial resistance: $1.74
· Medium resistance: $1.82
· Strong resistance: $1.87
• Strategic recommendations for traders:
* Short-term speculators (scalping/day trading): The current environment is tough with selling dominance. It is preferable to wait for a clear breakout above one of the resistance levels or a successful test of one of the support levels before considering new buy trades.
* Medium-term traders (swing): The best strategy may be to wait and see. It is preferable to look for buying opportunities near strong support levels (like $1.56) once signs of price stabilization and the disappearance of selling pressure appear.
* Long-term investors: Current volatility can provide an opportunity for gradual accumulation in batches at lower levels, but with a necessary stop-loss to protect capital in case of continued decline.
