NEAR Protocol (NEAR) is currently trading at $2.69, reflecting a 24-hour change of -6.17%. The daily trading range has been constrained between a high of $2.89 and a low of $2.64, indicating reduced volatility as evidenced by a daily range of just 0.25%.

Trading volume stands at approximately $553 million, with a volume-to-market cap ratio of 16.16%, suggesting moderate interest in the asset despite the price decline. The moving averages indicate bearish sentiment, particularly with the 8 SMA at $2.70 showing a minor decline of 0.25% and the 55 SMA at $2.84 reflecting a larger drop of 5.39%.

The 1-hour Relative Strength Index (RSI) is at 33, signaling that NEAR is in oversold territory, which may indicate potential for a short-term reversal. In contrast, the 7-day RSI at 57 suggests that NEAR has experienced bullish momentum recently, having increased by over 43% in the past week.

Despite the recent downturn, NEAR has shown resilience with a positive 14-day price change of 14.70% and a 30-day price change of 17.14%. However, the proximity to the 1-hour RSI indicates immediate bearish pressure, and the price remains significantly below its all-time high of $20.44 from January 2022.

Considering the mixed signals from technical indicators and the recent price action, the recommendation is to hold. While short-term bearish pressures are evident, the longer-term trends and recent gains suggest that exiting now may not capitalize on potential recovery as market conditions stabilize.
