NEAR Price Prediction: A Shift In Market Trend is Required
The decline in Near’s network usage over the past 30 days has negatively impacted the performance of its native coin. NEAR trades at $5.27 at press time, and its value has declined by 30% in the past 30 days.
NEAR’s Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) indicator shows a significant bearish bias toward it. At press time, the token’s MACD line (blue) rests under its signal (orange) and zero lines.
Traders often use this indicator to identify trends and potential reversals in asset prices. When the MACD line crosses below the signal line, it suggests that the short-term momentum is weaker than the longer-term momentum.
Coin holders interpret this setup as a signal to consider selling or to avoid entering new long positions until there are signs of the MACD line crossing above the signal line and the zero line, which could indicate a potential reversal or a shift in market sentiment.
If sentiment remains bearish, NEAR’s price may plunge further to trade under $5.
