NEAR Price Approaches Breakout: Potential 30% Rally Ahead

The Near Protocol (NEAR) price anticipates a bull run in the coming trading sessions, provided it can breach a key resistance first.

NEAR holders and the crypto market are, however, signaling a rise with those who are pining for a rise.

Inflows Into Near Protocol Rise

NEAR’s price is seeing bullish cues from the traders who have been anticipating a price rise for nearly a month now. Evident in the surge in Open Interest, over $100 million worth of contracts have been opened in the past month.

This surge in open interest is not necessarily a bullish sign, as it includes potential short and long-term contracts. However, the positive funding rate is a sign that long contracts are dominating the market.

This makes the rise in OI a positive sign, which could translate to a price rise.

Secondly, altcoin also notes support from the broader market, which is evident in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). RSI is a momentum oscillator that measures the speed and change of price movements, indicating overbought or oversold conditions in a security.

Typically ranged between 0 and 100, RSI values above 70 suggest overbought conditions, while values below 30 indicate oversold conditions. Currently, the indicator is holding above the neutral mark at 50.0 in the bullish zone.
