NEAR Protocol surged 26.52% in 24 hours to about $2.19, driven by a short squeeze at $1.72 that liquidated $5.8 million in shorts. This breakout ended a long-term downtrend and was supported by strong NVIDIA earnings, which bolstered confidence in AI-focused cryptos. NEAR's unique AI privacy features and recent tokenomics changes add to its bullish outlook, with technical analysts projecting further gains. However, on-chain activity shows declining user engagement, posing a cautionary note despite price strength.
