Why NEAR Protocol is up 1.1% in the last hour

Analysis

NEAR rose 1.1% over the past hour as broader crypto sentiment firmed alongside Bitcoin’s attempt to hold support near $77K, which often lifts higher-beta altcoins in the short term. Cointelegraph’s market coverage highlighting BTC seeking support and trading near key moving-average levels likely contributed to a modest risk-on bid across majors, including NEAR.
