Bearish momentum confirmed as price remains under key intraday resistance

On the hourly chart, NEAR/USD is positioned below the MA-20 ($2.3368) and MA-50 ($2.3999), while maintaining support above the MA-200 at $1.5235. The Ichimoku Kijun at $2.4165 sets immediate resistance. Momentum indicators reflect negative sentiment, with both MACD and ADX showing Sell signals. The RSI maintains a Sell bias, CCI is Oversold, and Stoch RSI is Neutral, indicating mixed but broadly bearish intraday momentum. BBP signals seller dominance, while the Awesome Oscillator is Neutral and does not confirm the prevailing trend.

Downside risk prevails as range-bound trading dominates

In the short term, NEAR is likely to fluctuate within a $2.1572 to $2.4308 trading range, indicating a typical volatility band relative to current levels. There is a 74% probability of further downside and only a 26% chance of a reversal upward. The baseline expectation is for continued range-bound trading between immediate support and resistance. A bullish scenario would require a break above $2.4165, while a bearish continuation could emerge if support at $2.1572 fails.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees NEAR holding its ground above key long-term supports despite short-term pressure. The analyst notes that bearish momentum dominates intraday, but the trading range provides a clear risk framework. He remains constructive, looking for stability within $2.1572 to $2.4308 as market sentiment resets. "As long as NEAR maintains support above $2.1572, I view the pullback as a healthy pause rather than a trend break."

Earlier, analysts noted that NEAR was exhibiting mixed signals amid heightened volatility and uncertainty, with a bias toward cautious, range-bound trading. The current market action reinforces expectations for further downside risk, making the sustainability of support at $2.1572 a crucial factor for traders monitoring potential bearish developments.
