Since our last BTC analysis, there have been no significant changes on its chart. Therefore, we present an overview of the market situation for the altcoins Near Protocol (NEAR) and Litecoin (LTC) as of Wednesday, February 7.
Near Protocol (NEAR)
The local downward trend on the NEAR chart continues, with the asset trapped in a sideways range between the support zone of $2.43–$2.64 and the resistance zone of $3.07–$3.26 for three weeks. Short-term bullish signals in Bitcoin haven't catalyzed similar momentum for NEAR, suggesting that further decline remains the likely path forward.
Should the price break below the current resistance zone, sellers might target the $2.3 level next. If Bitcoin's correction leads to a retest of the $40,000 mark, NEAR could potentially drop below the psychological barrier of $2.
To reverse the bearish trend, NEAR needs to breach the seller's barrier at $3.36 and sustain above the $3.60–$3.85 range.

Litecoin (LTC)
For more than two weeks, LTC has been fluctuating within a narrow range between the support zone of $63.1–$65.4 and the resistance zone of $69.5–$71.5. Litecoin's trajectory is heavily influenced by Bitcoin due to their significant correlation, making LTC's movements closely tied to those of BTC.
A shift towards a bullish trend for LTC would require breaking through the seller's level at $72.77 and pushing past the resistance zone of $75.1–$77.2. Such a move could set LTC on a course to surpass its December 2023 high.
On the downside, a deeper correction could see Litecoin retreat to the support levels of $61.00 and $57.56.
