【This setup—I’ve seen it back in 2017】

In the second half of 2017, there was a coin called Quantum—just like this. It suddenly surged continuously, trading volume exploded, sentiment was euphoric, and everyone was yelling, “This time is different.” So what happened? A bunch of the most optimistic people got trapped, and then it went sideways and ground for half a year. Those people were the ones who entered right at the peak.

NEAR now gives me a very familiar feeling.

In 24 hours +18%, one week +43%, one month +169%—with these numbers in front of you, what’s your first reaction? You’re itching to trade, right? I’m the same. But the lesson from 2017 injuries tells me: when it’s like this, you have to stay calm.

The FNG index is 71, in the greed zone. Trading volume is unusually amplified—over 5% of market cap—which indicates big money is moving. Put these two together, and the short-term momentum is indeed strong. But then the issue is—

U.S. Treasury yields surged to a 19-year high yesterday. The probability of further rate hikes is 75%. And BTC is moving sideways at $ 84000, with BTC dominance at 58.9%. What does that mean? The market isn’t short of money, but the money is flowing back into U.S. Treasuries. Overall, risk assets are under pressure.

From a practical execution standpoint, this time NEAR’s price increase and volume are matching well. I can’t say whether the fundamentals have fundamentally changed, but once the level at $ 5.14 is effectively broken through, short-term sentiment could push higher again. $ 4.22 is the support floor—if it breaks, you need to reassess.

My own view: this isn’t the time to blindly chase, but it’s not the time to short against the trend either. Whether the broader market can hold $ 84000, and whether Treasury yields can top out—those two signals matter more than NEAR’s chart itself. After $ 5.14 stabilizes, consider it again; if $ 4.22 breaks, don’t force it.

To be honest, I’m in a wait-and-see mindset. I have no position, but I’m not flat either. This level feels like it’s in-between—too uncomfortable to go in, too uncertain to bet against it. I’m leaning “bullish,” but it feels a bit forced; I’m also afraid of missing out if I go bearish. A classic old-sprout conundrum.

What’s your mindset right now? Are you itching to trade this NEAR move?
