- NEAR Protocol (NEAR) fell 5.4% as high-volume selloffs broke key support levels, signaling bearish pressure amid sideways technical indicators.

The cryptocurrency market remains volatile as key altcoins exhibit divergent performance. The Near Protocol (NEAR) price dropped 5.4% in the past 24 hours, breaking below the $2.84 support level amid a high-volume selloff. Trading volume surged to 14.19 million NEAR, signaling increased bearish pressure. Technical indicators suggest sideways movement ahead, but the breakdown of critical support levels and broader altcoin weakness raise concerns about a sustained rebound [1].

Meanwhile,

Stellar
(XLM) has drawn renewed attention as analysts speculate on its long-term potential. The coin, trading at $0.47 after months of consolidation, could see a short-term rise to $2.46 based on historical chart patterns and RSI analysis, according to analyst C-Zar. More ambitiously, projections point to a $20 price target by 2026, though such forecasts remain speculative and contingent on a sustained market breakout [2].

In contrast to the uncertainty surrounding NEAR and XLM, BlockDAG (BDAG) has shifted focus to tangible progress. The project launched a live demonstration of its X1 and X10 mining combo, showcasing a tenfold increase in daily BDAG output for users linking the mobile X1 app with hardware units. With $351 million raised in its presale and a fixed price of $0.0016 until August 11, BlockDAG emphasizes real-world results over hype. The X1 app, already adopted by 2 million users, simplifies mining access, while the X10 hardware, set to ship on August 15, further amplifies earning potential [3]. Analysts have noted the potential for BDAG to reach $1 post-August 11, though this remains a forecast contingent on market conditions [4].

The broader altcoin landscape remains mixed, with NEAR’s struggles and Stellar’s cautious optimism underscoring a market in transition. BlockDAG’s live demo, however, highlights a project prioritizing execution over speculation, offering a contrast to the uncertainty faced by others. As presale phases near completion, attention turns to how these developments might reshape the competitive landscape.
