$NEAR is still holding a clear bullish structure overall. The upside momentum remains solid, although price is consolidating near recent highs—which is completely normal after a strong rally. On the 1H chart, I'm still long-biased, but the chances of a pullback are high.
📊 Price Action (1H Analysis)
NEAR is currently stuck tightly within the 1.785–1.787 range.
The 24H high sits at 1.79—this is the immediate barrier right now.
➡️ A clean breakout with solid volume is required to sustain a move above 1.79.
📉 Volume Breakdown
As soon as sideways consolidation started, volume dried up.
The last 1H candle printed only ~10K volume, whereas the usual average is 1.5–2M.
➡️ This low-volume zone signals caution—buyers aren’t giving strong follow-through at the top.
💸 Capital Flow Analysis (Contracts + Spot)
✅ Short-Term Flows (1H–4H): Bullish
Contracts inflow: +1.8M to +2.1M USDT
Spot inflow: +1.3M to +2.7M USDT
These support short-term momentum—there is buy pressure underneath.
❗ Mid-to-Long-Term Flows (24H–7D): Profit Taking
24H contracts outflow: –2.07M USDT
7D contracts outflow: –28.38M USDT
➡️ This shows bigger players are slowly taking profits at higher levels.
➡️ A shakeout could happen soon.
🟢 Long Entry Plan for $NEAR
I’m looking at two types of entries:
1️⃣ Pullback Entry (Safer)
If price dips into the 1.732–1.740 range:
✔ Strong support
✔ Aligns with 1H MA20
✔ Best risk/reward
2️⃣ Breakout Entry (Aggressive)
If we get a volume-backed breakout → Candle close above 1.790
➡️ No volume = No breakout trade.
➡️ Chasing here is risky; NEAR is already overbought.
🛑 Stop-Loss Setup
Wherever the entry is, place SL about 3% below your entry.
Example: If entering near 1.738 →
👉 SL ≈ 1.685
🎯 Targets for $NEAR
TP1: 1.816 (Immediate resistance)
TP2: 1.845 (Next major resistance zone)
✔ Final Thoughts
$NEAR still looks technically strong, but volume + capital flows suggest the market wants some breathing room. So smart entries are essential. Dip entries or solid breakout entries—one of these two setups is ideal.
