• NEAR Protocol (NEAR) has climbed over 12.53% in a day and entered the $4 zone.

  • The crypto market has shifted toward a bullish trend, witnessing a 10.29% increase in global market cap over the past week.

Over the last week, the cryptocurrency market has shifted towards a bullish trend, with the global market cap rising by 10.29%. Among the beneficiaries of this rally is NEAR Protocol (NEAR), a leading layer-one blockchain that has recorded a notable 23% increase in its price in the past week.

The positive sentiment has been largely fueled by Bitcoin’s surge past the $64,000 zone, sparking optimism across the crypto space. In just 24 hours, NEAR’s price jumped over 12.53%, rising from a low of $4.39 to a peak of $4.94. This upward movement positions in NEAR favorably for continued growth.

Recent insights from Santiment reveal a significant uptick in NEAR’s development activities, reversing a previous downtrend. Increased development often correlates with price movements, and this recent activity bodes well for NEAR’s future price trajectory.

Additionally, NEAR’s price is above both the 9-day and 21-day moving averages, further suggesting that the recent market optimism could lead to additional gains. According to the Near Protocol price prediction, the altcoin might aim for price targets of $5.20 and $6.43 if this trend continues.

However, if the breakout does not hold, NEAR could encounter local support around $3.66. Intense selling pressure could even push prices lower to the support level of $2.76.
