🚨 NEAR Update — Aug 21, 2026

Price zone: around $1.70–$1.73 after a strong move on Aug 19; NEAR closed around $1.73 that day, up ~9%.

Support: $1.60–$1.62

Major support: $1.50

Resistance: $1.77, then $1.90–$2.00

Bullish: Holding above $1.60 and breaking $1.77 could open a move toward $1.90–$2.00.

Bearish: Losing $1.60 could send NEAR back toward $1.50.

🟢 Fundamentals: NEAR continues pushing its AI-agent infrastructure, with the recent IronClaw 1.2 update adding team-based AI-agent functionality. There’s also a fresh NEAR–Zcash/Zodl privacy-focused integration.

My view: 🟢 Cautiously bullish above $1.60. A clean break of $1.77 is the key confirmation.$NEAR
