Can NEAR clear these hurdles?

The partnership led to a rebound near the trendline support around $1.05. But the overall price action in Q3 chalked a descending wedge pattern, as the white trendlines show. Although the formation is typically a price reversal pattern to the upside, NEAR faces two crucial hurdles.
The first roadblock is the confluence of the 50-EMA (Exponential Moving Average) and the trendline resistance near $1.16. The next hurdle exists at the weekly order block and resistance zone of $1.24 – $1.38 (red).
So, price action could falter at these two roadblocks, especially if BTC records more losses below $27k. The RSI and CMF were at equilibrium levels at press time, indicating that the price could go in either direction.
Demand and funding rates improved

Even the Accumulative Swing Index (ASI), which tracks the strength of price swings, turned positive, denoting a long-term uptrend.
However, the overhead hurdles could derail extra recovery efforts, especially if BTC falters at $27k.
