Near Protocol price to provide another buying opportunity
Near Protocol (NEAR) price is up almost 10% to trade for $3.73 at press time, with early profit booking already underway indicted by the Japanese red candlestick on Sunday.

On the other hand, if the Near Protocol price descends below the 50-day Simple Moving Average (SMA) at $3.13, it would not only invalidate the bullish thesis, but also clear the clog for an extended fall.
The next likely support would be due to the 100-day SMA at $2.91, or in a dire case, extend to the foot of the market range at $2.06, levels last tested on December 18.
