Per the technical chart, the NEAR price has formed a flag and pole pattern, giving a breakout by surpassing the 50-day moving average. From the beginning of this month, the NEAR Protocol crypto price has shown bullish momentum but has faced resistance from the $3.60 level.

As we can see on the chart, the NEAR price has failed to sustain the $3.60 mark and is declining. If the price slips below the 20-day and 50-day moving average, it will melt to the 100-day moving average in a couple of days. However, if the price fails to defend the 100-day EMA, the selling will take the lead, and the price will melt to the strong support level of $2.

The technical chart shows the price is trying to defend the 50-day EMA as it has formed a hammer. If the price rises and surpasses the recent high, it may consider a pullback, and a buying momentum can be seen.

The NEAR Protocol crypto price has been consolidating between $3.00 and $3.50 for the past few days. As per the chart, the buyers are trying to defend the $3.10 mark, but it faces resistance from the 20-day moving average.

The recent selloff may still be considered a pullback if the price manages to defend the $3 level, but if it fails, the selling pressure may intensify, and the price could drop to the $2 support level.
