The current market sentiment suggests a possibility of an uptrend retracement; however, the $5 resistance level appears to be the most critical point. A complete recovery will probably need a higher trading volume and a better overall crypto market environment.
Although there is a growing confidence, experts emphasize the necessity for confirmation before claiming a bull trend reversal or breakout.
According to TradingView, NEAR demonstrates a strong bullish reversal, driving prices up from the low of $1.1450 reached in late March.
With established higher lows and confirmation of crossing above key moving averages, the token has broken out vertically to reach $1.3456, driven by increasing interest in AI tokens amid security measures in the industry.

Based on technical indicators, it appears that the current bull run is reaching an important overheating stage.
With the RSI at 67.71, there is imminent danger of oversold conditions because the price is diverging from the SMA band at levels ranging from $1.23 to $1.28. Although the uptrend is still bullish, the recent bearish candle signals a possible consolidation period ahead.
