$NEAR Protocol has emerged as a bright spot in the cryptocurrency sector, surging 6.1% over the past 24 hours despite the uncertain macroeconomic environment.

The token established solid support at $2.174 before decisively breaking above the $2.300 resistance level with above-average trading volume.

The recovery comes after a market-wide sell-off last week due to the escalating conflict in the middle east between Iran and Israel.

Investors are closely monitoring how traditional market volatility might impact digital assets, with $NEAR's recent price action suggesting some cryptocurrencies may offer relative stability during periods of global economic uncertainty.
