NEAR shows resilience above key demand zones, with traders watching for a potential move toward $3.10 resistance.
NEAR Protocol (NEAR) has managed to stabilize after a volatile few sessions, with price consolidating near $2.78 at the time of writing. The token has shown strength by defending the $2.60 support area, suggesting buyers are active in this critical range.

The 4-hour chart shows that NEAR recently rebounded from the green demand zone around $2.60–$2.65, a level where the market has seen consistent accumulation. The price previously rallied above $3.00, but faced rejection near the $3.10 resistance, marked by heavy selling pressure.
“The consolidation between $2.60 and $3.10 highlights the ongoing battle between buyers and sellers,” According to BITX . “A clean break above $3.10 would likely confirm a bullish continuation, while a drop below $2.60 could expose NEAR to deeper retracements.”
Immediate support is seen at $2.60, followed by a stronger cushion near $2.30, highlighted by the brown zone on the chart. On the upside, resistance remains firm at $3.10, a level NEAR has tested multiple times but failed to sustain. If buyers manage a breakout, the next upside target could extend toward $3.30–$3.50.
Earlier in July, NEAR broke out of a rising channel pattern, sparking a strong rally toward $3.10. However, subsequent pullbacks indicate that sellers remain active near local highs. Still, as long as NEAR trades above $2.60, the bullish bias remains intact.
“Momentum has shifted in favor of the bulls as long as $2.60 holds,” According to BITX . “Traders should watch for volume expansion near $3.10 to confirm the next major move.”
