1. Market Structure (SMC)
NEAR is still trading in a clear bullish market structure on 1H.Key observations:Strong BOS above the previous range (~1.60)Price continues to form higher highs and higher lowsThe most recent pullback did not break the protected higher low (~1.47)
➡️ No bearish CHoCH on 1H so far.
➡️ Structure remains bullish continuation, not reversal.
2. Key Levels

🟢 Downside Support / Demand
1.62 – 1.65High Volume Node (HVN)Previous consolidation area1.53 – 1.55Demand + prior EQH~1.47Protected Higher LowStructural invalidation level
📌 Only a 1H close below ~1.47 would invalidate the bullish structure.
3. Volume & Volume Profile
Volume
The impulsive move from ~1.55 → 1.69:Accompanied by expanding volumeConfirms genuine demand, not a weak breakoutRecent candles near the high:Volume is moderating, not climaxingSuggests pause or pullback, not distribution yet

➡️ Acceptance above POC = bullish continuation
➡️ Loss of POC = short-term weakness, not structure break
