Near Protocol Price Forecast: NEAR kicks starts its 100% bounce

Near Protocol price has registered a 21% recovery rally after retesting the $2.57 to $2.70 resistance level.
Investors can expect this bounce to continue until it retests the $5.87 weekly hurdle.
A decisive three-day candlestick close below $2.57 will invalidate the bullish thesis for NEAR.

Near Protocol price ready to bounce

Near Protocol price breached the $2.57 to $2.70 resistance zone on December 18, 2023. This breakout was followed by a 62% rally, which led to a local top formation at $4.63. As the broader cryptocurrency market suffered a 47% sell-off, NEAR retested the recently flipped hurdle into a support floor.

Despite the short-term correction, Near Protocol price has recovered quickly and rallied 21% in the last three days and currently trades at $3.09. The three-day Relative Strength Index (RSI) has also had a clea bounce off the 50-mean level, adding credence to the possibility of a bounce. The Awesome Oscillator has also started the first green histogram above the zero level, suggesting a comeback in bullish momentum.

Therefore, investors can expect Near Protocol price to kickstart a 100% rally to the next key weekly resistance level of $5.87.

On the other hand, if the Near Protocol price fails to hold above the $2.57 to $2.70 support level, it would denote a weakness in buying pressure. This outlook could occur due to another sell–off in Bitcoin price, which could collectively cause massive liquidations in altcoins.

In such a case, NEAR could slide 31% to retest the next critical support level at $1.76.
