Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.5% in the last hour
Analysis
NEAR slipped 1.5% over the past hour as traders likely cooled off after the prior day’s sharp run-up tied to the “Confidential Intents” launch, which had driven a reported 17% jump and sector outperformance. CryptoPotato’s technical take framing the recent surge as potentially a “bull trap” may also have encouraged short-term profit-taking and reduced momentum.
