NEAR: Quantum Update Fuels Bullish Outlook

NEAR protocol is advancing quantum-resistant account features through a simple key update that requires no asset migration, according to co-founder Illia Polosukhin, prompting trader @CryptoMichNL to call for a more bullish stance on the token.

Price action on the 4-hour chart shows NEAR trading at $4.72 inside the Bollinger Bands with upper resistance at $5.53 and lower support at $4.44, while the EMA50 at $4.94 acts as immediate overhead resistance and the EMA200 at $4.02 provides longer-term structural support amid a bearish MACD death cross of -0.08 and neutral RSI at 42.73.

This technical confluence suggests a potential retracement toward the 50-EMA before any sustained move higher, aligning with ongoing NEAR price prediction models that factor in blockchain quantum resistance upgrades and broader crypto adoption trends.
