Near Protocol (NEAR), Dogecoin (DOGE), Solana (SOL) and XRP Price Analysis for August 26: Crypto Market Becomes Uneven

After generating a strong breakout from the $1.60 region, Near Protocol is trying to transform its August recovery into a wider trend reversal. NEAR is currently trading close to $1.93, above all four of the daily chart’s major moving averages. The moving-average cluster’s recovery around $1.78–$1.80 is the most significant development. 

NEAR Protocol remains decisive

This area served as resistance in the past, but NEAR was decisively pushed through it by the most recent rally on significantly increased trading volume. Buyers would have a far stronger technical foundation than NEAR had in early August if this cluster were held. The immediate resistance is located between $2.00 and $2.10. 

Before sellers forced a retracement, the most recent move momentarily reached about $2.17, demonstrating that supply is still substantial above the psychological $2 level. The path toward $2.20 and possibly the June–July resistance area around $2.40 would open with a successful daily close above $2.10. 

Without appearing unduly stretched, momentum aids in the recovery. The RSI is currently at about 60, above its signal average of about 51, which allows for additional appreciation. Another rejection from $2.00 is the primary risk. A loss of $1.78 would render much of the most recent breakout invalid and expose NEAR to another test between $1.65 and $1.70.

Dogecoin reaches the goal

 Dogecoin has made one of its biggest daily gains in months, but the rally has already run into its first significant roadblock. Alongside a massive increase in trading volume, DOGE surged from about $0.070 to briefly touch $0.10. 

The cryptocurrency moved through its longer-term average at about $0.0812 after passing through its shorter-term moving averages at $0.0735 and $0.0779. The $0.0952 moving average, however, is now immediate resistance. DOGE briefly surpassed it before falling back to about $0.0892. 

Because the level overlaps with a historically significant trading region around $0.095–$0.10, that rejection is significant. Additionally, momentum is now stretched. Despite cooling from the initial spike into highly overbought territory, the RSI is still close to 72.5. As a result, some consolidation would be expected after such a swift advance. 

The breakout structure is preserved as long as DOGE stays above $0.081. One more successful attack on $0.095 might reintroduce $0.10. On the other hand, losing $0.081 would significantly hinder the recovery and raise the likelihood of a retracement toward $0.078 and $0.0735. 

Solana clears the air

Despite exhibiting the first signs of fatigue following a very aggressive advance, Solana is still holding the majority of its most recent breakout. After a move that momentarily put the asset above $103, SOL is currently trading at about $98.30.

There is a significant structural shift. Every significant moving average on the chart, including the long-term average around $89.43, has been recovered by SOL. 

One of the most significant obstacles separating the recovery from the larger bearish structure was once that level. The move is significantly strengthened by breaking it with increasing volume. 

The market has overheated, though. The daily RSI is in overbought territory, at about 84. As soon as SOL crossed $100, it also faced selling pressure, making the $100–$104 area the first notable resistance zone.

Therefore, a short-term retracement would not necessarily render the breakout invalid. Currently, the crucial support area is the $89–$92 range. Holding it would preserve the chance for another attempt at $100–$104 and effectively turn previous resistance into support. Above that, SOL might aim for between $108 and $112. 

Attention turns to the faster moving average around $83.11 if $89 fails. SOL’s structure is still bullish for the time being, but while the RSI is still above 80, chasing the vertical move becomes riskier. 

XRP is certainly back on a bullish track

 Following an incredible breakout that fundamentally altered its short-term technical structure, XRP is consolidating. After briefly rising to about $1.70 during the initial surge, the asset is currently trading close to $1.48. The recovery of XRP above the long-term moving average at $1.35 was the most significant event. 

XRP had been below this trend indicator for months prior to the breakout. Additionally, the move was accompanied by a massive increase in trading volume, which gave the breakout far more technical weight than a price spike with low volume. Momentum is the issue. The RSI for XRP is still close to 80, indicating that the market is extremely overbought. 

After such quick appreciation, the rejection from $1.70 and subsequent consolidation around $1.45–$1.50 seems reasonable. The immediate resistance is between $1.50 and $1.55. Reclaiming this range might initiate a new $1.70 test. There would not be much noticeable resistance after a clean breakout above the most recent wick until about $1.80–$1.90.

The most crucial level to keep an eye on on the downside is now $1.35. Even if XRP undergoes a more significant correction, the new bullish structure would be maintained by holding above the previous long-term resistance. The breakout would be significantly weakened by a loss of $1.35, and the next possible support area would be $1.20 and the moving-average cluster around $1.11–$1.19.
