Mixed technical signals as medium-term momentum outpaces long-term downtrend

On the weekly timeframe, NEAR shows a mixed technical setup. The price holds above the MA-20 and MA-50 but is still below the MA-200, indicating medium-term bullish momentum within a persistent long-term downtrend. The MACD signals mild bullish momentum, the ADX is neutral, and the RSI is just above 51, while Slochastic RSI and CCI remain neutral — suggesting the absence of clear overbought or oversold conditions. Weekly support and resistance levels are set at $1.71 and $2.13, respectively, with volatility at 11.62% and Bull/Bear Power reflecting notable buyer presence.

Sideways range expected as bullish and bearish signals balance

For the next 7 days, NEAR is likely to trade sideways between $1.71 and $2.13, based on recent weekly volatility and technical signals. The balance of momentum indicators points to an equal chance of upward or downward movement in the short term, with 2 out of 4 key indicators leaning bullish. A break above $2.13 could spark a stronger advance toward higher resistance, while a move below $1.71 may lead to additional losses toward the next support zone.

Jainam Mehta, market strategist, notes that NEAR traded above its weekly MA-20 and MA-50 this week but continues to face long-term resistance below the MA-200. He observes mixed signals, with bullish momentum present, yet overall structure constrained by price staying near the bottom of the recent range. Mehta sees potential for sideways movement between $1.71 and $2.13 in the coming week, with equal odds of a breakout or breakdown as indicated by key momentum indicators. "With buyers present but the price unable to reclaim major resistance, I’m watching for a potential volatility-driven move — but until $2.13 is cleared, I prefer to stay risk-balanced and reactive, not anticipatory."

Previously it was reported that downside momentum dominated NEAR with sellers maintaining strong control and limited prospects for a bullish reversal. The latest technical evidence, however, points to a shift toward neutrality in the short term, suggesting that traders should closely monitor for a confirmed breakout above resistance or breakdown below support to gauge the next significant move.
