NEAR at $3.70, are you going to chase it? First, look at the surface: good news bombarding, but the price isn't rising. In the past week, it rose 47%-53%, more than doubled on the monthly chart, with 24h trading volume expanding to the billion-dollar level. But today it hovers around 3.70, RSI hitting 73-77, overbought. Short-term overheated, don't chase. First thing: Confidential perpetuals + Intents, this time it's not just hype. Hyperliquid integrates confidential perpetuals, by default hiding positions, directions, and identities. NEAR Intents cross-chain intent layer TVL increased 77% monthly to 169 million, weekly volume broke 1 billion. Fee buybacks, inflation target lowered to 2.5%. NEAR has transformed from a “sharded L1” to “chain abstraction + privacy transactions + AI Agent infrastructure.” Institutions hold SVRN tokens, Bitwise/21Shares/Grayscale staking products are running. The weekly chart has already risen 50%, much of the good news is priced in. Second thing: Fed rate hike, the biggest threat to high Beta altcoins. On September 16, the Fed raised rates by 25bp to 3.75%-4.00%, also signaling "possible further tightening." BTC near 80,000, ETH 2570, BTC dominance 59%, altcoin season not confirmed. NEAR is high Beta. When BTC falls, it falls harder. Third thing: Technical head and shoulders breakout, but the position is off. Weekly head and shoulders, neckline at 3.10-3.12, breakout with volume. Targets seen at 5, even 8-11. Daily moving averages bullish, but RSI overbought, price hugging the upper Bollinger Band. Parabolic move from 2.34 to 3.7, in the latter half. Bull vs. bear, judge for yourself. On one side: Confidential perpetuals + Intents volume surge, product landing TVL up 77% monthly, fee buybacks Weekly head and shoulders breakout, bullish structure Institutional staking products + accumulation narrative On the other side: Fed rate hike, high rates suppress risk assets RSI 73-77 overbought, profit-taking can happen anytime If BTC breaks 80,000, NEAR will be cut first Poor weekend liquidity, high chance of false breakout Resistance above: 3.75 → 3.90-4.00 → 4.20 Support below: 3.50-3.55 → 3.35 → 3.20 → 3.10 Trading strategy Short-term players: Wait for a pullback to 3.48-3.55 and 4H stop falling, lightly try longs, stop loss 3.32-3.35, targets 3.75/3.95-4.20. Chase only after breaking and holding 3.78-3.80, stop loss at breakout candle low. Swing traders: 3.50-3.75 box range for 3-7 days to digest RSI, this is healthiest. Daily close below 3.35 with volume, pullback to 3.10 neckline is a trend test, not a bottom fishing opportunity. Long-term believers: Wait for pullback below 3.50 or confirmation of breakout above 4.0 before acting. Total position risk 1%-1.5%, avoid 10x leverage or more. NEAR has product support, but chasing longs at 3.70 is just giving money to pump-and-dumpers. NEAR this time has product backing, not pure hype pumping— But at 3.70, the most expensive thing is sentiment, the cheapest is waiting. The same head and shoulders: if you missed the ride at 3.10, chasing at 3.70 means you can't hold through a pullback. What's your NEAR cost basis? At 3.70, do you dare to chase or wait for a pullback? $BTC $ETH $NEAR
