NEAR Protocol have all experienced pullbacks from their October highs, according to U.Today. These cryptocurrencies are now at critical support levels that will be pivotal in determining their next price movements.
Starknet's Total Value Locked (TVL) has dropped by 27.8% in the past week, falling to $352.98 million, as per DeFiLlama. In contrast, NEAR Protocol's TVL has seen a slight increase of 1.8%, reaching $141.93 million. These figures indicate differing trends in user activity and investment within these ecosystems.
The broader market remains relatively flat, with the total crypto market cap at $2.8 trillion. 
Bitcoin is down 0.88% in the last 24 hours, and the Fear & Greed Index stands at 55, indicating a state of 'Greed' among investors. This market context suggests that while the overall sentiment is positive, these specific cryptocurrencies are underperforming.
NEAR Protocol is currently trading at $4.82, down 3.99% in the last 24 hours and 5.19% over the past week. Filecoin is at $1.013, down 3.15% in the last 24 hours and 7.56% over the past week. Midnight has seen a slight 1.32% increase in the last 24 hours but is down 10.47% over the week.
The performance of these cryptocurrencies at their current support levels will be crucial in the coming days. Investors will be watching for signs of a potential rebound or further decline, which could be influenced by broader market trends and any significant news or developments in these ecosystems.
Since this brief published about 2 hours ago, NEAR Protocol (NEAR) has moved from ₹458.15$4.82 to ₹462.91$4.87 — +1.04%.
The chart plots NEAR's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 NEAR ≈ ₹505.24 (about $4.87), down 3.5% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 9.1% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
