Why NEAR Protocol is down 1.0% in the last hour

Analysis

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) slipped about 1.0% over the past hour as broader market sentiment softened with Bitcoin searching for support near the $77K level, which can weigh on altcoins during short-term risk-off moves. Cointelegraph also highlighted a more cautious outlook from Bitget’s CEO, who expects Bitcoin to stay near current levels into year-end and doubts the US will buy BTC, reinforcing a tempered near-term tone across the crypto market.
