$NEAR/USDT — 1.053, touching the October 2023 low after a long painful descent (Daily TF)


This is a significant moment for NEAR. Price has finally reached the October 2023 low at 0.972 — a level that marked the bottom of the last bear cycle before the entire 2024 bull run. The descending channel that's been guiding price lower has now compressed all the way down to this macro support, and the two are meeting right now.

The orange zones have been the key reference points throughout this structure. The lower orange band around 1.80–1.90 was lost months ago and became resistance. Above that, the 3.20–3.50 area is the bigger wall that bulls would need to reclaim to shift the narrative meaningfully.


The green arrow tells the bull case clearly — a bounce off the October 2023 low, a break out of the descending channel, and a recovery toward 2.90–3.00 over the coming months. That's not an unreasonable target if this level holds, because historically this zone mattered a lot.


What makes this interesting is the confluence. A multi-year support level, the bottom of a descending channel, and deeply oversold price action all aligning at the same point on the daily. That's the kind of setup that produces sharp recoveries when it works.


If it doesn't hold — below 0.972 there's very little historical support and the chart enters territory that hasn't been visited since 2023. That's the risk.

The read is simple. $NEAR is at a line in the sand that the market has respected before. Whether it respects it again is the question every NEAR holder is sitting with right now.
