$2.9 NEAR, do you want to chase?

The entire network was liquidated for $1.8 billion yesterday, Bitcoin fell below 66k, Ethereum pretended to be dead at 1800—yet NEAR surged against the trend by 10%, climbing from $1.6 all the way to $2.93, an 85% increase, hitting a new high for the year.

First, look at the market: in the past 7 days, it nearly doubled, 24-hour trading volume doubled, market cap re-entered the top 30. When Bitcoin drops, it rises; when Bitcoin consolidates, it skyrockets. Completely decoupled, independently bullish.

First thing: upgrade 2.13, turning “sharding” into automatic mode

Previously, public chain scaling required manual voting to change parameters, like shifting gears manually.

This time, NEAR’s upgrade to Dynamic Resharding—when network load increases, it automatically adds shards without any manual intervention.

Aiming for 66k TPS.

Announced at the end of May, initially increased by 27%. Officially launched in June, market expectations further exploded.

Second, on-chain data shows it’s not just air

- TVL $205 million, up 7.7% in 24 hours, leading protocol Rhea Finance up 75% in a month, LiNEAR up 119% in a month.

- NEAR Intents cross-chain transaction volume surpasses $19 billion, with privacy intents accounting for nearly half.

- Bitwise NEAR Staking ETP inflow of $7.6 million in one week—institutions are really buying.

Third, technicals just emerged from the “early main wave”

Daily chart shows a V-shaped reversal, from the low of 1.60, continuous bullish engulfing candles, breaking through the downward trendline with a big bullish candle.

Volume increased along with the move, MACD golden cross with expanding volume, RSI above 60 but not overbought—there’s still plenty of room.

Weekly chart has reclaimed the 2.80 supply zone, healthy volume.

Bull-bear showdown, you decide.

On one side:

- Upgrade 2.13 dynamic sharding, automatic expansion, AI Agent’s best execution layer

- NEAR Intents real transaction volume of 19B, privacy intents exploding

- Institutional ETP inflow of $7.6 million weekly, funds rotating into AI narratives

- Fully decoupled from BTC/ETH, strong independent momentum, leading gains in dips

On the other side:

- Short-term gains of 85%, profit-taking is huge

- Post-upgrade, “good news exhausted” may lead to a pullback

- If the market’s BTC drops below 66k, NEAR could follow and fall 5-8%

- Psychological resistance at 3.00-3.10, may require repeated shakeouts

Key level at 2.90, just 0.1 away from the acceleration line at 3.00

Resistance above: 3.00-3.10 → 3.50 (main bullish target)

Support below: 2.75 → 2.68 (lifeline)

Short-term swing:

Buy at 2.85-2.90, add on突破3.00, target 3.20-3.30, stop loss at 2.68. Don’t be greedy; set a trailing stop when chasing high at this level.

Mid-term holders:

Add on dips to 2.75-2.80, target 3.10 for 30% profit-taking, then 3.50 for another 30%, keep some for higher.

Risk management:

- No more than 15% of total funds in full position (NEAR is volatile)

- If BTC drops below 66k, reduce position by 5-8%

- Before and after upgrade, watch out for “good news exhausted,” lock in profits on rallies

- Leverage no more than 5x, survival is the priority

This NEAR rally is very similar to Solana in 2021

Back then, Solana went from $2 to $50, everyone was asking “Can I still buy?”

And it eventually #分享美股交易赢英伟达股票 soared to $200.
