Markets, AI Market Insights NEAR surges from $2.61 overnight lows to $2.79, posting 6.9% gains in 24-hour session ending July 25 12:00.
NEAR Protocol bounced 0.7% between 11:10 and 12:09 UTC on Thursday, erasing a brief $2.77 dip in a volatile trading window marked by sudden institutional inflows. The token whipsawed from $2.79 to $2.77 before reclaiming session highs, highlighting a two-phase move characterized by consolidation near $2.78, followed by a selloff and swift recovery.
The rebound was triggered by a sharp uptick in volume, with more than 123,000 units traded after 12:01, breaking through resistance levels and signaling potential accumulation by large players. The move capped a broader 6.9% rally from $2.61 overnight support to a $2.79 close during the July 24–25 trading window, fueled by increased volatility and revived bullish sentiment.
Analysts view the surge as a potential setup for a test of the $2.83 resistance level, with longer-term projections placing NEAR in a $1.95–$9.00 range for 2025 and as high as $71.78 by 2030. Continued development of cross-chain bridging with Solana and TON is cited as a catalyst for institutional interest and potential price expansion.
