NEAR Surges 6% to Break Key Resistance

NEAR Protocol has emerged as a bright spot in the cryptocurrency sector, surging 6.1% over the past 24 hours despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment.

The token established solid support at $2.174 before decisively breaking above the $2.300 resistance level with above-average trading volume.

The recovery comes after a market-wide sell-off last week due to the escalating conflict in the middle east between Iran and Israel.

Investors are closely monitoring how traditional market volatility might impact digital assets, with NEAR's recent price action suggesting some cryptocurrencies may offer relative stability during periods of global economic uncertainty.
