$NEAR just had its strongest month ever.

September brought a massive 178% gain, taking NEAR from around $1.92 to $5.57.

Now comes the real test.

The $4.50–$4.69 zone is the level I’m watching. If buyers defend this breakout area, the next major hurdle sits around $6–$6.40.

A clean break above $6.40 could open the door toward $8.30 and eventually $10.

And with NEAR’s new ETF already seeing strong inflows, there’s a bigger question now:

Can $NEAR turn this rally into a lasting trend?
