NEAR Protocol (NEAR) extended its rally into September 21 after gaining more than 80% over the past week.

The token climbed from around $2.20 to roughly $4.20 during the move, marking one of its strongest rallies in months.

NEAR had already broken sharply higher from the $2.30-$2.50 range before pushing through previous resistance around $2.80-$3.00.

That former resistance area has now become an important support zone if price pulls back.

TVL and trading activity rise

NEAR Protocol’s total value locked is approaching $190 million. Recent data placed TVL at roughly $187 million, leaving the network close to that milestone.

The network also recorded 52,391 active addresses and about $84.19 million in decentralized exchange volume over 24 hours.

Stablecoin market value was reported near $79.86 million. App revenue over 24 hours stood at $64,657.

Price has risen much faster than TVL, so the two metrics should not be treated as directly linked. Still, the network has seen higher trading activity alongside the recent token rally.
