NEAR Protocol has expanded its Multi-Party Computation network to 17 independent mainnet operators, with ongoing operations now funded through protocol emissions after the HSP-007 governance proposal was adopted, according to FXStreet. SVRN, Inc. led the transition to this sustainable incentive model and is participating directly in the network, as PR Newswire reported.

Bullish momentum strengthens as trend signals and support levels hold

Daily chart structure points to a sustained move higher with a firm trend, supported by a bullish MACD reading of 0.4448 and the ADX at 44.6181 confirming trend strength. Volatility over the past week was elevated at 32.54%. Immediate support sits at $5.0677, closely followed by the Ichimoku Kijun at $4.712, while resistance is marked at the weekly high of $6. As long as price remains above these key support levels, the trend bias is upward for the coming sessions.

Upside bias persists for next week while breakout risk remains elevated

Next week, NEAR is expected to trade between $4.4925 and $6.3264, with a very high probability of an increase and a very low probability of a decrease. The base case is continued movement within this range, anchored by support at $5.0677. A decisive break above $6 opens room for further gains toward the upper end of the expected range. If price falls below $5.0677, downside could extend toward $4.4925.

Viktoras Karapetjanc, expert at Traders Union, sees strong institutional momentum driving NEAR Protocol’s advance this week, as supportive developments on both the network and governance fronts spark renewed market interest. The recent expansion of NEAR’s Multi-Party Computation network and the adoption of a sustainable incentive model via the HSP-007 proposal further validate bullish sentiment and lay groundwork for long-term growth. Technically, daily signals like a bullish MACD at 0.4448 and robust ADX at 44.6181 confirm the current uptrend, with support at $5.0677 and immediate resistance at $6. The analyst expects NEAR to trade confidently within a $4.4925 to $6.3264 range, with upside favored as long as prices remain above support. "Momentum favors further growth this week — as long as NEAR holds above $5.0677, I expect the bullish structure to remain intact and potential for new highs to emerge."

Previously it was reported that NEAR Protocol's bullish technical structure and increasing institutional inflows positioned the asset for potential further upside. Building on this outlook, the latest week’s developments and persistent volatility reinforce the prevailing scenario, with $6 now serving as a critical resistance level to watch for any sustained breakout.
