For a longer-term outlook for NEAR, the most significant nearby levels for NEAR lie at $6.5, $4.7, and the $3.6 area. The $6.5 area acted as support in May but the selling pressure was simply too strong to withhold.
In late May, this level was retested as resistance. In the weeks that come, the $6-$6.5 area would likely pose stiff resistance to the price.
Another important support level was the $4.68 one. Since June, this area has been significant on the daily chart. Especially, toward the end of July, the bears put up a resolute defense of this area.
The breakout past this zone was strong, but the reversal in August was brutal. The price crashed right past this belt and fell to the $3.6 demand area. This area was a bearish order block in July but has since been flipped to support.
The bounce from $3.6 and the flip of $4.7 to support was encouraging. A move back toward the $6-$6.5 region was likely for NEAR and can be used to take a profit.
