How this divergence could affect NEAR’s short term price action
Since its January highs, the bears had assumed control until NEAR plunged towards its $7.6-base. Since then, the alt has been on a gradual but consistent recovery.
Now, a close below the ascending channel (yellow) would position NEAR for a test of the $15-zone. Following this, the bulls would reveal their intentions in the coming days. A fall below that level could find a cushion near its 50 EMA (cyan) before a buying resurgence. At press time, NEAR traded at $16.055, down by 5.34% in the last 24 hours.

From here on, any close below the current channel could push the price towards the $15-mark. If the sellers continue their spree, a retest of the 50 EMA (cyan) could be conceivable before a possible bullish comeback. Furthermore, the price was near the upper band of the Bollinger Bands (BB) and now approached its mean. This mean could serve an as important area of value for the investors/traders.
