The $NEAR coin was simply buried back then: its drop from $20.56 to $1.60 wiped out 92% of its value and erased an entire market cycle.

But something else caught my attention: buyers have defended the $1–2 zone time and again since 2021, and now the asset is breaking away from this base with force.

Its all-time high is an obvious magnet, but if a full-blown altseason takes off, I’m not stopping at $20.

I’m targeting around $25+—about +1,500% from the bottom. Everyone loves NEAR when it’s soaring to new highs; I prefer buying when the crowd thinks the asset is dead.
