NEAR Protocol’s price action has formed a range for the past week and at the time of writing it had found some demand in the $10.5 area. Bitcoin also approached some resistance near the USD 39k area. A move higher for Bitcoin could likely take NEAR past the range highs as well. The purchase volume is stable, but not yet significant enough to reverse the previous trend.

The $9.8 and $11.87 are respectively support and resistance levels that have been significant several times in the past. At the time of writing, the price has been trading in a range between $10.05 and $11.77 for the past few days. It can also be seen that the mid-range has been respected by the price. It represents the 50% in-range level, another significant level (in the short term).
When the price recently broke above the highs, there was a bearish divergence between price and momentum. A previous supply area has now flipped to demand (cyan box).
Therefore, the lows and lows in the range and the midpoint are the levels to watch out for NEAR. A move above or below the midpoint can reverse the in-range bias, while a range breakout will trigger another bias for the next few days.
It should be noted that even the $12.5 area has been swept lately in search of liquidity, so a bullish break out of the range doesn’t necessarily turn into an upward move, but could just turn out to be a fall.

The RSI divergence at the range highs has already been mentioned. When trading within a range, the RSI regularly hacks into the neutral 50 level, although this level is sometimes respected as support or resistance. The RSI highlighted how a prevailing trend has not been established.
The CDV also emphasized the same thing: the buying and selling volume was more or less equal within the range, so a break next to a significant volume could turn out to be the start of a big move.
The Aroon Oscillator showed periods of up and down trends within the range, but again no dominant trend. The Supertrend’s sell signal was converted into a buy signal.
Conclusion
The $10.05, $10.92 and $11.77 levels were the ones to watch for in the coming hours or days for NEAR as they represent the lows, mids and highs of the range.
