NEAR Traded Above $5.24 in Two Oct. 21 Market Snapshots

NEAR Protocol (NEAR) topped $5.24 in two Oct. 21 market snapshots, but the readings did not confirm the completed hourly close that a chart setup required to validate a rebound. The setup listed NEAR at $5.22 and its latest completed hourly close at $5.17. It marked $5.24, the hourly upper Bollinger Band, as the confirmation level. A price reading above that mark did not meet the stated condition by itself. NEAR was $5.356 in a perpetual-market snapshot at 1 p.m. ET (17:00 UTC), then $5.314 in a spot quote at 6:40:54 p.m. ET (22:40:54 UTC).
