We have observed that #NEAR/USDT has successfully broken above the Diagonal Trendline and is currently maintaining its position above it on the 4-Hour Time Frame. This suggests bullish momentum for NEAR, but it is crucial for the asset to hold this trendline in order to sustain it. We can see a local resistance level at PMH $7.71 and a support level at PWL $6.8. Lets keep a close eye on these levels to see how #NEAR/USDT fares in the coming days.

Were very bullish on NEARUSDT as it has formed an ascending channel and recently broke out of a double head and shoulders pattern. Look for an entry during the retracement with a target of $10.84, potentially netting you 50% profit at least.
