NEAR has been oscillating in the range of $2.54-$2.71 recently, with institutions repeatedly doing long and short in the price pit of $2.62-$2.66. What's even more heartbreaking is that the resistance level of $2.83-$2.85 has been breached 12 times since 2022, and after each failure, it has fallen by an average of 5.7% in 5 days. This wave of assault is a bit difficult.

However, on-chain data still has its merits: DAU has soared to 3.1 million, making it the second most active chain after BSC, with a monthly growth of 5%. Nightshade sharding technology allows NEAR to process thousands of transactions per second, with fees being ridiculously low.

The technical aspect is a bit suppressed - fear index at 39, RSI at 43.89, and negative MACD, indicating that there are obviously more sell orders. However, the ecological aspect is good, with Aurora interoperability, Everclear collaboration, and user-friendly account names, all attracting developers to enter the market.

Analysts have vastly different opinions: conservatives say $5.4 in 2025, while optimists even claim $50+ in 2030. The key is whether NEAR can survive under the siege of Ethereum, Solana, and Avalanche. In the short term, the pressure is immense, but the long-term logic remains.
