The NEAR/USDT pair shows a rounding bottom pattern in the daily time frame chart. Under the pattern’s influence, the coin price represented a significant rally in the past few weeks, bringing it to the $17.7 mark.

Amid the recent uncertainty and sell-off in the crypto market, buyers struggle to surpass the overhead resistance($17.7). However, the buyers didn’t give much ground and prevented the coin price from falling below $15 support.

The resulting consolidation reflects a narrow range confined between the $17.7 and $15 levels. Furthermore, the recent price jump accompanied a $41% spike in volume activity, teasing a range breakout.

A daily-candlestick closing above the $17.7 mark would renew the bullish momentum and surge the NEAR price to the $20.6 mark.

Alternatively, the fallout from the narrow range remains on the cards, which could trigger a legit correction in NEAR price.
