NEAR Hits a Crossroads: Bearish Liquidity Shift vs. Weekly Bottom Setup

NEAR broke below support at $2.237 after failing to hold gains, opening room for a possible drop toward the $2.08 zone. A bearish structure shift followed a sharp rejection from the $2.60–$2.70 range, confirming continued downside pressure. Weekly charts suggest a base forming between $1.80 and $2.00, with upside potential toward $7–$13 as momentum gradually improves. NEAR Protocol was rejected from key resistance and trades below a critical support level, indicating possible near-term downside. While lower timeframes show a bearish structure forming, higher timeframes reveal signs of a potential long-term reversal.
