Bearish momentum accelerates amid oversold technical indicators

Momentum indicators on the daily chart are decisively bearish, with MACD showing a persistent sell signal and ADX suggesting a weak but downward trend. Oscillators point to prevailing oversold conditions: RSI is at 35.87, Stochastic RSI is deep oversold, and CCI is also in the oversold territory. BBP at –0.0609 signals continued seller dominance during intraday action. The Awesome Oscillator remains neutral and does not reinforce the current move. The day saw a significant drop of 7.41%, opening at $1.569 (no notable gap from the previous $1.607 close) and sliding toward the lower end of today’s range, indicating high volatility and heavy post-open pressure from sellers. Most momentum and oscillator signals confirm the deep and accelerating bearish tone, with little evidence of an imminent reversal.

Downside risk prevails as trend signals outweigh near-term recovery

Looking ahead to the next five trading days, the expected range should be normalized to account for the current price, yielding a forecast between $1.35 and $1.65. There is a very low probability (less than 20%) of a meaningful upside move, with the probability of further decline much higher given all weekly (W1) and daily (D1) trend and momentum indicators remain bearish. In the baseline scenario, NEAR will likely move sideways in a narrow corridor around current levels. In the bullish scenario, a recovery above the $1.79 resistance would be needed to attract buyers, but this is unlikely in the short term given the current setup. In the bearish scenario, a clear break below $1.35 could trigger a further selloff toward lower support levels.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, senior analyst at Traders Union, views NEAR as dominated by persistent bearish sentiment and clear momentum weakness. He notes that institutional and macro interest remains subdued, while the absence of fresh news offers no catalyst for immediate improvement. Karapetjanc believes that the technical picture, combined with weak market flows, implies further sideways or downward price action in the short term. However, he sees longer-term opportunities if macro or sentiment shifts change the market structure. "Traders should stay alert for a potential reversal, but for now the market favors patience and disciplined risk management."

Last time, analysts noted that NEAR was trading below all major moving averages and faced persistent selling pressure, with bearish momentum confirmed by MACD and weak trend strength from ADX. Oscillators indicated mixed signals but the overall outlook remained bearish, with the price expected to consolidate in a lower range and strong resistance limiting upside attempts.
