NEAR made a higher high, then finished the hour below its previous close. That's the detail I'm watching after the rally.
On Binance spot NEAR/USDT, September 18's 12:00 UTC candle topped at 3.615 and closed at 3.609. The 13:00 candle reached 3.782 but closed at 3.568, back below that earlier high.
That is a failed extension at this hourly cutoff, not proof the wider rally is over. The five completed hours from 09:00 through 13:59 UTC span 3.410-3.782. Those observed extremes give me a testable range, rather than a new target borrowed from the headline.
My map runs from publication through the hourly candle ending September 19 at 13:59 UTC.
Two consecutive hourly closes above 3.782 would confirm a fresh break beyond this observed high.
Closes between 3.410 and 3.782 keep price inside the reference range; a wick outside alone does not confirm a break.
Two consecutive hourly closes below 3.410 would confirm a break beneath the five-hour low.
A later hourly close back inside 3.410-3.782 invalidates either confirmed break. All conditions expire at that deadline.
The still-open 14:00 candle is excluded. These levels describe this snapshot, not guaranteed support or resistance.
Which would change your reading more before that deadline: a confirmed break above 3.782 or below 3.410, and why?
