NEAR has recently experienced significant supply tightening due to large-scale locking by institutions such as OceanPal and the newly listed stimulus on the Robinhood platform, which has driven retail inflows. As a result, the long-term value base has been lifted to some extent. However, in the short term, NEAR has retraced from its high of $1.511, breaking below the important support level of $1.17-$1.18. Daily price-volume structure indicates that NEAR is still in the bottoming phase, with overall bearish market sentiment. It is advised to focus on the performance of the $1.14-$1.18 support range: if it holds, medium-term positions can be considered; if it fails, be wary of further downside risks.

Recent reports show OceanPal holds over 51.3 million NEAR tokens on its balance sheet, with 2.85 million NEAR staked in derivative positions. Coupled with the $120 million PIPE investment agreed with the NEAR Foundation last year and its subsidiary assets exceeding $85.5 million, OceanPal clearly demonstrates long-term confidence in the NEAR ecosystem. This large-scale locking not only reduces circulating market supply but also raises the central value base, providing robust support for long-term valuation.

Nasdaq-listed digital asset manager OceanPal disclosed in its annual financial report that it holds approximately 51.30 million NEAR tokens on its balance sheet, plus 2.85 million NEAR tokens as collateral for derivatives. The company announced a $120 million PIPE investment with the NEAR Foundation last October and established a subsidiary, SovereignAI Services, with assets totaling about $85.50 million as of December 31, 2025.

At the end of March, Robinhood announced the listing of NEAR, covering 230,000 active users including those in New York. The platform’s zero-fee trading model significantly lowers the entry barrier for retail investors, leading to NEAR's price rebounding nearly 1.9% on the day of listing. This coincided with a small bullish daily candlestick on March 31, indicating a short-term inflow of retail funds triggered by the listing, enhanced market liquidity, and boosted short-term bullish sentiment.

Robinhood Markets has listed NEAR Protocol ($NEAR) for spot trading, expanding its cryptocurrency offerings to over 20 assets and providing its 23 million users with commission-free access to this layer-1 blockchain. NEAR’s innovative sharding technology, user-friendly features, and environmental benefits align with Robinhood’s strategy to broaden crypto services amid regulatory scrutiny. This listing enhances retail investor exposure to NEAR’s scalable ecosystem and supports Robinhood’s diversification beyond equity trading.

After reaching a peak of $1.511 on March 16, NEAR's price has been trending downward. By the close on April 2, it had dropped to $1.163, breaking below the $1.17-$1.18 support range. In the same period, bullish sentiment was under pressure, with NEAR being one of the main declining tokens last week. The daily chart shows consecutive bearish candles and shrinking volume, signaling bearish sentiment in the short term. Special attention should be paid to the strength of the $1.14-$1.18 support region: if it breaks, the adjustment may continue; if it holds, another chance for recovery from resonance between retail and institutional locking may arise.

Bitcoin fell another 3% last week, underperforming the altcoin market, which dropped 1.52%. Despite this, some top 50 cryptos outperformed significantly. TAO led with a 44.7% rally, while memecoins like Memecore rose 33%. Canton surged 13.47%, and others like DeXe and Chiliz also gained. Conversely, Polkadot, Aave, NEAR, and Worldcoin were among the biggest losers. Market volatility remains amid geopolitical and inflation concerns.
