NEAR: Michaël van de Poppe Eyes $3 Breakout

Michaël van de Poppe highlighted fresh momentum in NEAR on July 2 2026, noting the token is pressing a key resistance zone with eyes on a sustained push above $2 and a return to the $3 region.

The trader also flagged TAO as undervalued amid subnet adjustments while keeping NEAR as the core AI narrative holding strong positions. In euro terms he outlined an initial consolidation band at €2.10-2.30 before targeting €2.70-2.90.

Price action on the 4h chart shows NEAR trading at $1.95 and testing upper Bollinger resistance at $1.94 while the MACD registers a bullish golden cross at 0.01; with the RSI at a neutral 59.21 and price holding above the EMA50 support at $1.89 yet beneath the EMA200 at $2.03, a measured extension toward the next resistance cluster appears the most probable path before any deeper pullback to the lower band at $1.75.
