NEAR delivered a strong rally last week, gaining nearly 70% and significantly improving its broader market structure. More importantly, the move was not merely a short-term impulse but may have marked a shift from a prolonged bearish phase toward a new bullish trend on the weekly timeframe.

This raises the question of whether NEAR is entering a stronger recovery cycle or whether the recent surge could be followed by a deeper correction.

NEARUSD - 1 Week Time Frame

The recent weekly move appears to have invalidated the previous external bearish structure and established a new bullish framework. Structural shifts of this magnitude often increase the probability of continued upside, particularly if price remains above the levels reclaimed during the breakout.

Following this development, bullish setups may remain relevant as long as NEAR continues respecting the newly formed structure. From a risk management perspective, a broader invalidation level could be considered below the external low of the new bullish structure, around $1.00. A sustained move below this area could weaken the current bullish outlook and suggest the structural shift has failed.

Another important factor is the former resistance zone that price closed above during the recent rally. This area, highlighted in blue on the chart, may now act as support. As long as NEAR holds above this reclaimed zone on the weekly timeframe, the bullish context may remain intact.

However, a weekly close below this support area could signal weakening momentum and increase the probability of a deeper correction, even before the broader invalidation level is reached.

NEAR price target

If bullish momentum remains active, the nearest Buy-Side Liquidity targets are positioned around $3.50, $5.00, $6.50, and $8.50. These levels may act as logical upside objectives, as price often seeks liquidity resting above previous highs during stronger bullish phases.

The $3.50 region represents the first major level to monitor. If momentum remains sustained above this area, market attention could shift toward $5.00, followed by $6.50. A move toward $8.50 would indicate a significant continuation of the current bullish structure. While recent price action supports a stronger outlook, confirmation of a sustained uptrend may still depend on NEAR’s ability to defend reclaimed support levels and maintain acceptance above them over time.

For now, NEAR appears to show a confirmed bullish shift on the weekly timeframe after breaking its external bearish structure. As long as reclaimed support zones continue to hold, the probability may remain tilted toward further upside continuation, with $3.50, $5.00, $6.50, and $8.50 remaining the main areas to monitor.
