Over the past two months, the NEAR price, wavering below the $4.77 resistance, revealed the formation of the cup and handle pattern. Amid the July third week’s sell-off, altcoin tumbled 20% and triggered the pattern’s handle portion.

The minor pullback found suitable support at the $3.8 mark and resumed the recovery rally for further gains. Thus, the NEAR price has gained 38% within a fortnight, and offers a massive breakout from the pattern’s neckline resistance of $4.77.

Furthermore, the 49% hike in volume indicates a positive response from traders for this breakout. Therefore, a daily candlestick closing above this resistance would allow buyers to retest the $4.77 level as potential support.

If the NEAR price shows sustainability above the flipped support, the traders can enter a long position with the expected target at the $5.735 mark.

However, in case the altcoin failed to sustain during the restest phase and dived below $4.77 support, the resulting fakeout may trap the aggressive buyers under a potential downfall. In addition, the forced liquidation from buyers may bring additional selling pressure to the market.
