While the NEAR blockchain has seen some ecosystem growth in the past week, its native coin NEAR has not seen an increase in value. According to data from CoinMarketCap, NEAR was trading at $1.40 at press time. Additionally, in the past week, the price of NEAR has dropped by 17%.
With On Clearance Volume (OBV) steadily declining over the past week, sellers were in control of the NEAR market at press time.
At the time of writing, the 20 exponential moving average (EMA) was positioned below the 50 EMA (yellow) line. NEAR’s Directional Movement Index (DMI) gave credence to this position. The strength of the sellers of NEAR (red) at 36.48 rested above that of the buyers (green) at 14.22.
The Average Directional Index (ADX) showed that buyers may struggle to negate the strength of short-term sellers.
