NEAR Protocol (NEAR) traded around $3.03 on Sept. 24, with analysts pointing to $5 as the next target and $10 as a possible extension. Strong technical levels, high staking participation, steady DeFi use, and growing futures activity are supporting the bullish view. Chill on Value, a trader on X, said NEAR has broken out of a long consolidation and could now climb to $5. He explained that $10 is a realistic level in a regular market cycle, while $20 would require extreme speculative conditions. His argument is based on how tokens usually recover in stages: they first retest old resistance levels before attempting larger moves.
