NEAR: 500K Staked for AI Inference Growth

NEAR Protocol draws fresh institutional attention after 500,000+ tokens locked into confidential inference on its AI Cloud, powering over 40 models including those from Anthropic, OpenAI and Google.

Analyst @CryptoMichNL highlighted the disconnect between ecosystem expansion and the current price action at $2.31. With price testing upper Bollinger resistance at $2.55 while RSI sits neutral at 44.64, a healthy retracement to the 50-EMA support at $2.33 appears probable before further continuation. The MACD death cross at -0.02 keeps the broader structure bearish against the 200-EMA floor at $2.03, yet sustained staking inflows suggest fundamentals may override short-term technical pressure.
