【Down 13.6% means it’s cheap? Many retail investors get their very first calculation wrong】

NEAR is currently at $3.49, down 13.6% over seven days and 2.5% in the past 24 hours, about 83% below its ATH. Being oversold doesn’t mean it’s bottomed. Last week, I predicted a rebound, but I was a beat late; I also predicted a surge in volume, and got that part right. Trading volume has already exceeded 5% of market cap, but $3.39 hasn’t been broken and $3.88 hasn’t been cleared. Volume signals disagreement, not a license to rally.

FNG is at 28: the market is fearful, but not chaotic. Bitcoin is hovering around $74,000, ETFs have seen outflows for four consecutive days, and the much-anticipated CPI has pushed rate-hike bets to about 90%, while liquidations are rising. The macro backdrop isn’t helping. For NEAR to move independently, it needs capital and a compelling narrative to take the baton.

Even more concerning is the Near AI vulnerability: user information and data from 18 AI agents were exposed, showing that hardware-level privacy isn’t foolproof. In practical terms, individuals using agents, deployment teams, and businesses focused on privacy and security will all need to assess the risks. The business case makes sense, but the costs of audits, fixes, compensation, and compliance after an incident could swallow the story; customers will also be more willing to pay for verifiable security. That’s not the same thing as the token price—don’t conflate the two.

My view changed this week from “wait for a rebound” to “first see whether $3.39 holds and whether $3.88 can be decisively broken.” Volume and the back-and-forth changed my mind. The lesson: cheap doesn’t mean the fundamentals have changed, and rising volume doesn’t mean the price must go up. I’m really itching to jump in, but I sat this one out. Would you dare to take this trade?
